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.
We went there expecting excellent food & an entertaining cultural performance. We were not at all disappointed. We didn't expect the cozy environment & incredibly kind & friendly service. Highly, highly recommended. As an aside, one of us is vegetarian, & the vegan menu option was tasty too.

Paellas are amazing, seafood is good, dessert is ok. The Flaminco was amazing! a great experience & everything felt very authentic. Highly recommend visiting for the experience & the paellas.
We ordered the paella with the seafood & lobster everything in that paella was over cooked the fish was all dry just awful!!' Also the entree of snails for 12$ is a real scam these tiny escargot wondering what is up with that,
I would not recommend this pricey restaurant for their over cooked food!!!
Amazing food & service. The staff was very attentive without being overbearing. Portions are huge. Great quality/quantity/price ratio. Will definitely go back & I highly recommend this place.
bel endroit. La paella au fruits de mer, un délice! Le service impeccable. bon choix de vins, seul bémol: il devrait avoir plus de choix au verre. à recommander!!

My wife & I ordered the "Valenciana Discovery Menu" for two. We are both lovers of good food & wine & we were not disappointed. The octopus salad was amazing. Followed by a plate of seafood tapas & chorizo. All very good. The last dish was a seafood paella which was the best paella we've ever had. The waiter suggested a really good wine to make the whole meal as close to perfect as you can get. Highly recommend this place.
From the moment we arrived the wait staff was extremely charming & helpful. The food was outstanding & the restaurant was lovely. I would highly recommend this place for a great meal!
We came from Ottawa to Montreal for a special weekend, & we chose Casa Galicia (1) because it was authentically Spanish, & we had previously traveled to Spain & loved the cuisine & We plan to return to Casa Galacia on another occasion. wines, & (2) friends from Ottawa had previously eaten there & loved it & recommended it to us. We found the interior colorfully decorated in authentic Spanish tradition, We found the staff very welcoming, & they seated us where we could see the dance show during dinner. This dinner show was composed of a guitarist & a flamenco dancer, both excellent, & with may acclamations of Olé from the dinner guests & rounds of applause! I ordered a dish of Andalusian Gazpacho & it was delicious, with lots of garlic in it. The bread was spicy & tasty. We ordered traditional Spanish Paella, mixed seafood & meat. It was served hot & was delicious. The volume was enough for two persons & we could not finish our plates, & so resolved to order one dish of Paella for two persons next time, We also ordered two glasses the famous Rioja red wne at $16 per glass, & it was full bodied & delicious, worth every penny! We were too full to order dessert, but next time would order the Catalan Cream. I ordered a glass of the house Sangria, & it was fruity & delicious. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful. There is limited on street parking, so best to take cab or walk. We parked two blocks away under a municipal library. St. Denis & Sherbrooke is a popular evening area, & quite safe, lots of people walking on a Friday evening. We will definitely return to Casa Galicia, & we will tell our friends about this wonderful little Spanish.
Le service est impeccable, la nourriture est très bonne. Ce n'est certainement pas la meilleure paella que j'aie mangée mais ça vaut la peine. Je vais certainement y retourner. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Le spectacle de flamenco était décevant par contre. Somme toute, je le recommande.
pour tout vous dire .... je le recommande avec un grand PLAISIR... accueil & service hors pair... merci LUIS pour tout ... c'est certain que je vais y retourné..... Merci bonne journée... Robert Massey
