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.
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
Had such an amazing experience at Casa Galicia in Montreal! The manager, Firo, was incredibly kind, welcoming, & attentive from the moment we walked in. He really made the night special. The ambiance was so lively & fun - it genuinely felt like we were in Spain. The food, atmosphere, & hospitality were all unforgettable. Can't wait to come back!

Great place with real Spanish house atmosphere, food was extremely delicious, we ordered lobster bisque, paella & seafood stew - portions were really big!service is great! Highly recommend
Very quaint Spanish restaurant with amazing service & vibrant atmosphere. The servers are fantastic. Food options are amazing. Definitely recommend the steak.
This restaurant is brilliant! The atmosphere brings you to the heart of Spain & it gives you the full South European experience. The food is delicious & their seafood is amazingly good! I really loved the owner, a very warmhearted man with love for his clients. It really feels like home when you first come here & I strongly recommend trying this place.
This was a fantastic restaurant. The seafood is fresh & cooked perfectly. You have to take the paella. The main reason why we had such a great experience was due to Firo. What a gem. He's funny, attentive, & very welcoming. He sings when he is working which I find so sweet. My family & I loved everything. The service & food was a 10/10.
The atmosphere & the flamenco experience is very nice! This was our second time coming & we were not disappointed with the paellas! Truly delicious! The employees are friendly.

Excellent endroit j'ai adorer le service de notre serveur firo tres aimable & agreable & la bouffe etait super bonne je recomande fortement leur paeilla
If you want to impress somebody (even yourself) you must try this place. Casa Galicia is located in Quartier Latin of Montréal with fantastic food, bringing the traditional flavours to your table where you can have great seafood, good wine & the most fantastic paella that brought me back to Spain. The service... Madre mia! Excellent!! Very nice staff, attentive & the recommendations were incredibly accurate.
On weekends (at least Fridays & Saturdays) there's a live show with a very talented musician & the flamenco performance is absolutely lovely.
Only point to improve, the desserts :(
Book one day of your weekend to spend here, trust me.
Had a lovely night out at Casa Galicia. The seafood & Paella were delicious, fresh & portions were generous. The staff were very pleasant & sociable. The ambiance was very cozy & the decor was authentic. We were even offered a complementary Porto after our meal.We had a wonderful time & will go back.
