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.
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!

Casa Galícia offre une ambiance agréable, une cuisine vraiment délicieuse & un service absolument impeccable. On s'y sent bien, on mange merveilleusement bien, & on est accueilli avec une gentillesse rare. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter.
Went to Casa Galicia for dinner & had an amazing time, beautiful dancing & guitar playing, the atmosphere is breathtaking. The owner allowed me to DJ (Sinceramente, es mi parte favorita, así que muchas gracias) the staff was so friendly, felt like I was a regular with how warm they treated everyone, yes! EVERYONE. Now the food 10/10 I had the snails & shrimp to start & the main was a paella. The portion sizes are definitely worth it, ordered one & it was large enough to share amongst two people. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the main course was so fulfilling that we had no space for dessert but judging by everything else, probably would've been just as great. I ordered mocktails, sangria & margarita, & usually people just give you juice & label it a'mocktail' THIS was different, there was actual depth & flavour to their mocktails. Truly considerate & I'm thankful for that.
We had an incredible evening at Casa Galicia. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm & the service was truly outstanding. I've never felt so well taken care of in a restaurant. A very special mention to Mr. Firo, he was so thoughtful & made our evening wonderful. I'll definitely be coming back soon!

Le meilleur restaurant de Montréal à mon avis. On a eu un service incroyable je n'ai jamais eu de ma vie un service autant bien. Mention spécial à M.Firo qui a simplement rendu notre soirée encore plus belle. La nourriture est excellente je recommande le poisson !! Merci vraiment pour tout c'est sur que je reviens !!!
Cadre très chic & accueillant. Personnel super aimable. Paëllas délicieuses & portions copieuses, amenez un grand appétit. & les vendredis & samedis soirs du flamenco à partir de 20h30. Absolument une adresse à ne pas râter! 😍
Environment: Good
Service: Good (no rushing us, very polite)
Tapas: we order the 6 tapas, & the quality is great. However, the portion is unbelievably small. For $50 CAD you are getting 2 spoon of food for each tapa.
Paellas: Quality is decent, but the portion is also lacking for sure. The dish comes out a bit dry compare to what I am expecting.
(For your reference, I usually have less food than average male of my size, but paellas + half of 6 tapas is barely enough food for me. [Thats $83 dollars before taxes & tips]
Wine: I only order one glass & asked them to recommend. Doesnt seems like there are much choices. The wine is fine, but didn't go well with the dishes we ordered.
We went there on a Saturday night without a reservation. It was packed so we had to wait but the live music & flamingo were electric. The service was slow but the food was great. I would go back.
The food is amazing. We tried the Zarzuela discovery menu, it was delicious & fulfilling for two people. Firo was the best host, his attention to detail & vibe made our night.
