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.

Having a meal at Casa Galicia felt like being transported to Spain. The restaurant is very charming, & it's clear how much hard work has been put into every detail to make the experience as immersive as possible. The food was excellent, but what stood out to me the most was the service & hospitality that Firo & Ley showed. You can truly see the passion they have for making each customer's experience unique & memorable. I will definitely come back-the name of the restaurant truly speaks for itself. It really feels like home!
A+ for me !
I have to say, having been to Spain, our passage at the Casa Galicia was by far the closest Spanish experience we can get here in Montreal.
Everything was on point : The food, the ambiance, cleanliness & especially Firo & ley who served us with so much heart.
On top of the great food & culture, the people who served us are the reason why we will surely come back.
Had a great time at Casa Galicia. The service was super friendly & on point. Also, the sangria was amaziiing..
The octopus was also the best I've had in the city - & the paella is a must-super good & filling.
Definitely worth checking out if you're into good food & great vibes.
Absolutely the best octopus I've ever had perfectly cooked & full of flavor! Everything we ordered was amazing, from start to finish. The service was just as great-our waiter was friendly, attentive, & really made the experience even better. Can't wait to come back!
Quelle belle découverte ! Nous avons adoré notre expérience au Casa Galicia. La nourriture était incroyable - le poulpe grillé était tendre & savoureux, la paella aux fruits de mer bien garnie & pleine de goût, & les crevettes à l'ail tout simplement délicieuses.
& la sangria… wow ! C'est sans doute la meilleure qu'on ait jamais goûtée - fraîche, fruitée, parfaitement équilibrée.
Le service était exceptionnel. Notre serveur, qui était aussi le propriétaire (je pense qu'il s'appelait David), a été chaleureux, attentionné & vraiment passionné. Il a pris le temps de jaser avec nous & de s'assurer qu'on avait tout ce qu'il nous fallait.
On recommande ce restaurant les yeux fermés. Une vraie perle pour ceux qui aiment la cuisine espagnole & le bon vin dans une ambiance authentique & accueillante
Went there with a group of 20 for a birthday, the ambiance was very nice & the flamenco show was fantastic.
The waiter was awesome, courteous & funny. The staff as a whole was very kind.
The food was phenomenal, we ordered paella, filet mignon, chicken, & everyone loved it. The paellas were so packed with flavour & safran.
We will definitely be going back.
The food was weird! It's mostly a seafood place, so may be people who are into seafood like it. I got the garlic chicken, & I do not recommend it unless you're into fishy tastes! The service was slow but still considerate! The server kept checking on us to see if we needed anything so I'm giving 2 stars! The prices are exorbitantly high for the kind of food!
Le propriétaire & ses deux oncles sont superbes excellent service une attention incroyable, nous avons bien aimé, nous avons sorti moi & mon confrère de travail, & je vous assure ceci est un restaurant à découvri
