I am very satisfied with my evening at Casa Galicia. We went on a Friday evening at around 9pm & there was a flamenco duo (male guitarist / female dancer) that performed really well. We had the house Sangría & it was probably the best sangría I've ever had. For appetizer I had the Gazpacho Andaluz & it was well made. A friend & I shared the Valenciana Discovery Menu (easily feeds 3 or even 4) & it was so delicious. From the appetizer tray, the croquetas de bacalao were my favorite & the choizo was a close second place. The Paella Valenciana was very rich, generous, well made, & delicious. It's the best paella I've had in Montreal; better than the ones I had in Barroco, Douro & Solmar. I was too full for dessert.
The only complaint that I have is that the paella wasn't made with what I'd consider to be the correct grain of rice: "bomba", "Calasparra" or (though not referred) "Arborio". The flavor was definitely there, & I'd eat it again anytime; I just would have loved to have that "al dente" texture that you get when you use the right grain. The second challenge is parking, but that's just Montral; take a cab.

Bottomline: I will definitely be back, & so should you. Check their website to see the when the next flamenco performance will be & brace yourself for the whole package of great food & show.
