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.
Everything was absolutely wonderful!! From the attentive service to the delicious food, & even the incredible Flamenco show! The whole experience felt vibrant & authentic.
A special thank you to Firo for making our evening so memorable. We truly had an amazing time & will definitely be back!
Convenient location (on Rue St-Denis near Theatre St-Denis); easy to reserve online or by phone; clean; quiet (but there is regular live Flamenco music later on some evenings - we were there on a Sunday); nice atmosphere; warm reception; good Spanish (Catalonian) menu (paella, fish, seafood, tapas etc.), & well stocked European wine & spirits list; drinks & food were served quickly with good presentation; very good price/quality; recommend.
It was fresh & tasty. For those that never tried the real Spanish food is good. It's a tad off for those who have been in Spain. Not disappointed. Good tout court
Lost my husband nearly a year ago & haven't really been able to go out alone. Today was the first time I went to have dinner at a restaurant & I guess the maître d'hôte felt it ? He took the time to chat, asked me where I was from, made me feel comfortable. The service was great! The food was delicious. But I'm leaving 5 stars for making me feel so welcomed.

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!

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.
