A great experience! If you're looking for a cozy, intimate restaurant with Latin music, you've found the right spot. Their menu is perfect for groups, especially since they offer a $35 deal that includes many tapas & a paella. If you're a paella lover, tapas enthusiast, & always down for a drink, this is the place for you!
The food was decent but the service was not good. The restaurant only had one other couple in it & our server did not check on our meal or offer us drinks after the first drink. We were on holiday & walked away disappointed. In reading the other reviews it seems like maybe a staffing issue & not a regular occurrence.

Je suis allée manger au restaurant La Paella & j'ai passé un moment incroyable. J'ai pris une poutine au poulet, rien à dire : c'était super bon ! J'ai aussi goûté un peu de la paella & j'ai apprécié. Côté boisson, j'ai choisi une pina colada & je l'ai adorée. Il faut toujours un bon drink pour accompagner un repas, & celle-ci était parfaite. Je la recommande fortement si vous ne savez pas quoi choisir. Le service était impeccable : le personnel est très accueillant & s'assure que tout se passe bien. L'ambiance est géniale, avec une touche de musique latine qui donne envie de bouger, mais sans être trop forte. Si vous hésitez à y aller, foncez ! C'est l'endroit parfait pour passer un bon moment en famille ou entre amis.
Le service de Fabiola était incroyable, elle est souriante, gentille & serviable. Les drinks était très bon & nous avons passé un très bon moment en plus d'un très bon service
Very hard to find a better place to enjoy a great dinner with friends. The food was amazing (had the salmon in white wine sauce, divine), the drinks very high quality.
We got the best service from our waitress Fabiola.
The terrasse is very nice with great latin music that makes you want to stay all night long.

Première fois que je goûtais à la paella &… wow, vrai coup de coeur ! Chaque assiette était aussi belle que délicieuse. Les drinks sont super bien faits, frais & savoureux. L'ambiance musicale t'embarque direct dans un vibe latin, c'est chaleureux & festif. En plus, le chef est super gentil, respectueux, & on sent que sa cuisine vient du coeur. Belle découverte du début à la fin !😍😍😍 Bref si tu aimes les fruits de mer c'est à essayer !!
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.
