Casa Galicia est un incontournable de la cuisine espagnole à Montréal depuis 1977. Fondée par Laurentino Oliveira et toujours fièrement gérée par la famille, la tradition se poursuit aujourd'hui avec Jorge Oliveira et David Oliveira à la barre.
Reconnu comme l’un des meilleurs restaurants espagnols en Amérique du Nord, Casa Galicia se spécialise dans la cuisine traditionnelle de la région de Galice. On y retrouve des plats classiques tels que la paella, la zarzuela, ainsi que plusieurs spécialités régionales. Les clients peuvent accompagner leur repas d’un pichet de sangria fraîche considérée comme l’une des meilleures à Montréal, ou choisir parmi une impressionnante cave à vins de réserve provenant des plus grandes régions viticoles d’Espagne.
Avec son ambiance chaleureuse, son service attentionné et son décor unique, chaque visite est une expérience mémorable. Les fins de semaine, l’expérience est enrichie par des spectacles de flamenco en direct, incluant un guitariste espagnol professionnel, pour une immersion culturelle authentique en plein cœur de la ville.
Casa Galicia se distingue par un accueil chaleureux, des portions généreuses, des plats savoureux comme les fruits de mer et la paella, un service attentif et une ambiance espagnole authentique, avec des spectacles de flamenco qui donnent une énergie festive et incitent à revenir.
Restaurant Galicia displays an authentic decor & soft Spanish music. We were two couples who went for dinner on a Thursday evening. We ordered a variety of tapas, the shrimps (with tomatoes) were tasty, the fried calamares less so, patatas bravas were good & spicy. Our table ordered three different paellas & the chef was kind enough to accommodate allergies & excluding from one of the paellas some seafood, at out request. The paellas were good, but the lobster was not very tender. One person ordered a grilled fish that turned out to be excellent, moist, crisp outside. Large sangria jar. Food portions were generous. Service was very slow, despite the limited number of guests on that day, & we waited a long time between tapas & paellas, ending up eating a lot of bread, & thus feeling less hungry when the main course arrived. The restaurant has an interesting flamenco show on weekends which gives more authenticity to the place. Difficult to park (October 2021, many constructions around). The restaurant has put in place all adequate measures against COVID-19.
Beautiful evening, we had the yummy three variation tapas, traditional paella Valenciana & a delicious pitcher of Sangria. All this while enjoying the spectacle provided by the lovely flamenco dancer & lovelier Spanish guitarist. The service was impeccable & no one minded that we were still talking away after everyone else had left. Absolutely charmed by the warmth of the decor as well.

Une troisième fois à vie (dernière fois en 2008), mais une première pour ma fiancée. Nous avons beaucoup aimé le service, le décor très old 70's (Restaurant qui date de 1977). Des bons plats & atmosphère calme :) Allez-y pour un essaie :)
This is a long-established place that has proved itself over 40 years. It is not trendy, noisy, crowded, hurried or overpriced. Its decor is a bit dated & clichéd, but it gets the important stuff right. We had the table d'hôte: gaspacho & lobster bisque to start, main courses seafood paella & cazuela, a good albarino, followed with dessert & coffee = $150. Good homestyle cooking---une cuisine honnête!---fresh ingredients, seasoned experience, no fuss & no pretension, friendly & attentive service.
Dinner here for 5th time continues to be a highlight of our trip to Montreal over last 15 years. Consistently good atmosphere & decorations, entertainment with flamenco music & dance, & delious paella served by very helpful wait staff.

We came from Ottawa to Montreal for a special weekend, & we chose Casa Galicia (1) because it was authentically Spanish, & we had previously traveled to Spain & loved the cuisine & We plan to return to Casa Galacia on another occasion. wines, & (2) friends from Ottawa had previously eaten there & loved it & recommended it to us. We found the interior colorfully decorated in authentic Spanish tradition, We found the staff very welcoming, & they seated us where we could see the dance show during dinner. This dinner show was composed of a guitarist & a flamenco dancer, both excellent, & with may acclamations of Olé from the dinner guests & rounds of applause! I ordered a dish of Andalusian Gazpacho & it was delicious, with lots of garlic in it. The bread was spicy & tasty. We ordered traditional Spanish Paella, mixed seafood & meat. It was served hot & was delicious. The volume was enough for two persons & we could not finish our plates, & so resolved to order one dish of Paella for two persons next time, We also ordered two glasses the famous Rioja red wne at $16 per glass, & it was full bodied & delicious, worth every penny! We were too full to order dessert, but next time would order the Catalan Cream. I ordered a glass of the house Sangria, & it was fruity & delicious. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful. There is limited on street parking, so best to take cab or walk. We parked two blocks away under a municipal library. St. Denis & Sherbrooke is a popular evening area, & quite safe, lots of people walking on a Friday evening. We will definitely return to Casa Galicia, & we will tell our friends about this wonderful little Spanish.
La comida estuvo deliciosa y el servicio excelente. Me gustó mucho la decoración y que se toman el tiempo para cantar el feliz cumpleaños con una deliciosa torta a cada persona que lo esta celebrando. No me gusto que las mesas esten tan pegadas las unas de las otras, pero por lo demas recomendadisimo.
Restaurant des années 70-80 (menu compris) Décor folklorique mais caricatural à la fois. Pas mauvais en soi mais loin d'être excellent . Pour le même prix (plats & vins par exemple), des centaines d'autres restaurants montréalais où on mange beaucoup mieux. L'expérience globale devient rapidement décevante ("flamenco" compris). Je n'y retournerai plus jamais, c'est certain.

Honest, copious, top quality food served in a warm, welcoming & tastefully decorated environment. Extensive old world wine list. The flamenco performance was outstanding. Wonderful place to ring in the New Year.
Friendly service, pleasant decor, & good food. The waiters speak several languages & have a sense of humor. We liked the paella & thought the mussels were excellent. I hope the zarzuela winds up on the table d'hôte someday. I would have ordered it, but it was a bit expensive à la carte. In any case, I'll definitely go back.
Quelle belle découverte. Nourriture espagnole traditionnel dans un décor magnifique, l'ambiance est bonne, les plats généreux, & surtout le service incroyable sympatique & chaleureux.
Moi & ma conjointe avons été reçu comme des princes!
La nourriture, bien présenté, était goûteuse & à un prix résonable.
Tout ceci dans un décor européen charmeur...
Je vous conseil fortement ce restaurant!
