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 offre une ambiance chaleureuse et intime qui transporte en Espagne, avec un décor charmant et un cadre convivial. La cuisine espagnole y est généreuse et savoureuse, avec des tapas variées, des paellas riches et des fruits de mer frais qui ravissent les papilles. Le flamenco live, souvent en fin de semaine, et la guitare apportent une énergie festive et mémorable. Le service est impeccable, attentif et chaleureux, donnant l impression de faire partie d une grande famille. La sangria, les desserts et les petites attentions en salle complètent parfaitement l experience, et la salle s illumine d un vrai esprit espagnol. Casa Galicia est souvent citée comme l une des meilleures adresses espagnoles de Montréal et un lieu idéal pour une soirée romantique, entre amis ou en famille.
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.
I do not do many reviews, but Casa Galicia is worth it! Cozy, inviting, classy. The food is superb, & their house sangria is DELICIOUS! Service was wonderful. I speak some French, & very little Spanish, but our waiter enjoyed speaking Spanish with our daughter, & was patient in English with me.
We missed the Flamenco entertainment because we came on a Sunday, & we hope to come back to Montreal & Casa Galicia soon.
Muchas graçias, Casa Galicia!
Very nice place for dinner, friendly & attentionate service. Had the plato de Mariscos for two & it was excellent, nicely seasoned & nice variety, Langostina, crab legs, lobster, king shrimps,mussels clams & a nicely saffran laced arroz bomba....a taste & warmth of Espana in cold Montreal.

Casa Galicia was definitely a great dining experience. Their calamari were probably the best I've had. A great authentic Spanish dining experience. We particularly enjoyed the flamenco guitar & dance performance at 8:30pm. I understand this is a regular weekend thing
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.
