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 offers a cozy, authentic Spanish dining experience in Montreal with a warm, inviting ambiance and a memorable flamenco show on weekend evenings. Guests consistently praise generous portions of paella, tapas, and seafood, with flavors described as vibrant and transportive. Service is repeatedly noted as attentive and friendly, often making guests feel at home even on busy nights. The setting blends intimate dining nooks with lively entertainment, creating a versatile venue for anniversaries, dates, or casual dinners. The overall experience is enriched by decor, music, and wine that evoke Spain, while the team attends to every detail to ensure a memorable night. While some reviews mention higher prices, many emphasize that the combination of food quality, ambiance, and flamenco makes the visit worthwhile.
Excellent Spanish food, friendly & helpful staff, great atmosphere, best gaspacho & paella I had in Montreal, large portion & resonable prices, highest recommendations, we will go again!

Everything is fantastic at this restaurant, but try to make sure you go on a night when they have the flamenco dancing because it's literally fantastic!!! I have been all over Spain & the flamenco dancing is as good as you would find in the best places in Spain!
Loved this restaurant. The host was super polite & very knowledgeable of the food. The food was fantastic & next time we'll try a regular dish as opposed to the specials. The creme brûle was better than french restaurants I've been too.

Tried this restaurant today & we loved it so much! The food tasted just like the restaurants in Spain, so authentic & full of flavour.
Our waiter, Firo, was AMAZING. He was so friendly, attentive, & genuinely made the whole experience so much better. We left feeling so happy, & definitely coming back soon! 💛 Thank you FIRO!
Les gens qui y travaillent sont vraiment sympathiques & rendent l'ambiance chaleureuse. La nourriture est délicieuse. J'ai adoré mon expérience & je me suis senti en Espagne pendant une soirée.
I enjoyed my food & the amazing service at this restaurant. It had a cute Spanish vibe & brought me to Spain from Montreal. We had lobster bisque for our starter that was very creamy & delicious came with garlic bread which was a bit too crunchy. For main we had steak & paella which were so delicious. & as a dessert we had something like crème brûlée which tasted differently but ok. Something that I really loved about this place was the waiter who was very gentleman & respectful. He took care of us very well. I'd go back there again😊😊
Had an awesome time. Used the $30 3 course menu QR code from spectra & had an absolute blast. The food & atmosphere is exceptional, & the service from Firo was top notch. Would 100% recommend this place.
Amazing experience at Casa Galicia. Food was incredible & our server Firo was super personable, kind, & attentive. Atmosphere was very cozy. Would recommend & would come back.

J'ai visité l'Espagne plusieurs fois. J'ai essayé BEAUCOUP de restos espagnols. Mais franchement l'expérience offerte à Casa Galicia est unique. Le propriétaire & son oncle sont absolument charmants & très efficaces, tout comme le reste des serveurs d'ailleurs. Le décor est magnifique & nous transporte en Espagne, le menu est super & varié & ils sont ultra organisés pour des gros groupes. Oh, & un PLUS, le spectacle de flamenco & le guitariste!
I had a wonderful experience at Casa Galicia! The atmosphere was cozy & full of character - you could really feel the warmth of Spanish culture all around. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, & full of authentic flavor.
What truly made the evening special was our server. I wish I remembered his name, but he was absolutely amazing - friendly, professional, & full of passion when explaining the dishes & their history. He made us feel at home from the moment we sat down.
It's rare to find that level of attention & genuine hospitality these days. I'll definitely be coming back & recommending this place to friends. A beautiful experience from start to finish. 💫
Thank you to Firo our wonderful server! The night was excellent. The food was delicious, wholesome, & flavorful. Firo was kind, gracious, & quite entertaining! We also had the pleasure of enjoying the Flamenco dancing, which was a perfect edition to the evening. Highly recommend!
