Casa Galicia has been a staple of Spanish cuisine in Montreal since 1977. Founded by Laurentino Oliveira and still proudly family-run, the tradition continues today with Jorge Oliveira and David Oliveira at the helm.
Recognized as one of the best Spanish restaurants in North America, Casa Galicia specializes in authentic Galician cuisine, offering classic dishes like paella, zarzuela, and a variety of regional specialties. Guests can pair their meals with a refreshing pitcher of sangria considered among the best in Montreal, or explore the restaurant’s unique wine cellar, featuring reserve wines from Spain’s most prestigious winemaking regions.
The warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and distinctive décor make every visit memorable. On weekends, the experience is elevated with live flamenco performances, including a professional Spanish guitarist, bringing a touch of Spain’s vibrant culture to the heart of the city.
Casa Galicia stands out as a welcoming spot with generous portions, flavorful seafood and paella, friendly service, and a warm authentic Spanish ambiance, enhanced by lively flamenco on select nights and a memorable overall experience that makes guests want to return.
Convenient location (on Rue St-Denis near Theatre St-Denis); easy to reserve online or by phone; clean; quiet (but there is regular live Flamenco music later on some evenings - we were there on a Sunday); nice atmosphere; warm reception; good Spanish (Catalonian) menu (paella, fish, seafood, tapas etc.), & well stocked European wine & spirits list; drinks & food were served quickly with good presentation; very good price/quality; recommend.
Absolutely loved this place! The food was authentic, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The paella was rich & perfectly cooked, & the tapas were amazing for sharing. The atmosphere felt warm & lively, with great music & cozy Spanish vibes. Staff were friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best Spanish restaurants I've tried - highly recommend for date nights or dinners with friends! We were served by Firo

Exceptional birthday dinner at Casa Galicia. The drive from Toronto was well worth it for the stunning ambiance & Domenic's incredible service-including a Portuguese birthday song! Between the wonderful meal & the Valentine's Day rose, every detail was perfect. We loved the tradition of the bill collection on the wall & were happy to contribute 5 Euros to the display. Highly recommend this gem for any special occasion!
Everything about Casa Galicia is phenomenal. From the warm & inviting atmosphere, to the service & last but not definitely least, the food. I will definitely be back!
Make sure to catch the flamenco show on Friday or Saturday evening!
100% recommend if you're looking for an absolutely wonderful all around experience!
Superbe expérience ! Dès l'arrivée, on est accueilli chaleureusement par Firo, le gérant, une personne vraiment attachante & pleine de bonne humeur. On sent tout de suite sa passion pour la cuisine & pour ses clients.
Les plats traditionnels espagnols sont extrêmement généreux & surtout délicieux - des saveurs authentiques qui nous transportent directement en Espagne.
En plus, le vendredi soir, nous avons eu la chance d'assister à un magnifique spectacle de flamenco. Une ambiance incroyable qui a rendu la soirée encore plus spéciale.
C'était vraiment comme un voyage en Espagne le temps d'un repas. Je recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui veulent passer une soirée mémorable !
La nourriture est délicieuse, le service, attentionné & le décor nous transporte véritablement en Espagne. Pour passer un bon moment dans une ambiance feutrée, je recommande! :-)
Je suis venu ici avec mes amies & nous avons passé un super moment!! Merci à Firo pour la belle ambiance & le service impeccable! J'ai hâte de revenir ici avec ma famille! La nourriture était super bonne & je recommande la sangria!
