What's your plan for 4 à 7 after work or Friday night in Montreal? Let's go La Paella @restolapaella in the heart of Montréal's Village @villagemontrea for authentic Spanish flavors (Chef Mathias worked in Spain for 30 years knows what's the best way to bring us to Spain from his kitchen) , sizzling paellas, & tapas that pair perfectly with live music vibes for 4à7 (15% off) & Friday night 🎶🥘🍷
Nice place in the heart of the village with lots of choices. Chef was super interesting & if you get a chance to talk with him it brings the food some history & background. I recommend the sangria & the paella Royale (2ppl)
Une expérience culinaire mémorable !
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec chaleur & professionnalisme. Le service était attentionné sans être envahissant, & chaque plat était un véritable délice. Les saveurs étaient parfaitement équilibrées, les produits frais, & la présentation digne d'un grand chef. Mention spéciale pour les desserts - un pur bonheur !

Nestled in the heart of the Village, La Paella transports diners straight to Spain with its warm ambiance, vibrant Latin music, & inviting decor. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere sets the stage for an authentic & flavourful dining experience.
Guiding the kitchen is a seasoned chef with over 30 years of culinary expertise, bringing European influences to every dish. His mastery is evident in the balance of flavours, textures, & meticulous presentation.
We began our meal with the charcuterie platter, a beautifully curated selection of European-style cheeses & delicately sliced cured meats. The addition of Spanish sardines was a welcome touch, enhancing the dish with a bold, briny depth. Each bite was an exquisite balance of flavours & textures, making for a perfect introduction to the meal.
Of course, we couldn't visit La Paella without indulging in their signature paella-a stunning presentation of saffron-infused rice generously layered with seafood, chicken, & aromatic spices. The dish was cooked to perfection, with each ingredient complementing the next, delivering an authentic taste that was both comforting & refined.
To conclude our meal, we opted for the crème brûlée, a dessert that truly encapsulated indulgence. The first crack of its caramelized top released a delicate aroma, giving way to a silky, velvety custard beneath. It was the perfect sweet finale to a well-balanced feast.
With a passionate chef at the helm & a commitment to authentic flavours, La Paella excels in both taste & experience. Whether you're here for the drinks, the ambiance, or the expertly crafted dishes, this charming spot delivers on all fronts.

AMAZING RESTAURANT. Having eaten Spanish food in Spain, i was desperate to find a restaurant that made this kind of cuisine in Montreal & I was very pleased with my experience at LA PAELLA. Each meal was delicious. It was obvious the chef cooked with love & each ingredient was fresh. Beautiful place too & the staff was very sweet. 100% recommend !
