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!
La Paella est un magnifique restaurant aux saveurs espagnoles & catalanes qui proposent une cuisine à tapas & de paellas très goûteux. On y trouve une salle simple, mais avec un magnifique bar & une ambiance musicale espagnole de bon goût. Nous étions deux personnes, les plats généreux à partager comme les tapas & la Paella. Je recommande vivement le fromage de chèvre, la salade russe & la paella.
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 🎶🥘🍷
This place is really amazing! I was looking for a place in montreal that does good Paella & this place impressed me from the vibe of the flamenco show to the giant delicious paella full of sea food , chicken & beef with of course their great tapas that you shouldn't be missing! highly recommended.
La Paella is a gem in the Village! The food was delicious, from the flavourful tapas to the perfectly cooked Royale paella packed with seafood, chicken, & chorizo. The fresh pineapple at the end was the perfect sweet touch. The atmosphere is vibrant, the terrace is lovely, & what really stood out was the service. The staff were so kind & welcoming, & the owner took the time to check in & make sure everything was perfect.

I was invited to the terrasse launch at La Paella & even though the rain made us move inside, the vibe stayed amazing. The tapas were delicious, the white sangria was a standout, & the service was super warm. Can't wait to go back & try their famous paella! 🥘☀?🥂 IG @Fafatou
I was invited to the terrasse opening at La Paella, & even though classic Montréal spring weather made a surprise appearance (yes, the rain came & we had to move inside), the evening still had such a great vibe.
I started with a glass of their white wine sangria-light, fruity, & way too easy to sip. Then came the tapas lineup: spicy patatas bravas, creamy salade russe, salty prosciutto, & a playful chicken poutine that gave a fun Québécois twist to the Spanish spread. Everything was cozy, flavorful, & perfect for sharing.
The terrasse itself is super charming, with a view of the Village that's full of energy & personality. I'll definitely be back when the sun decides to stick around. & while this event was all about the tapas, I've got my eye on their paella next time-I mean, it is in the name.

This meal was comped as part of a media preview-sharing my honest thoughts above.
Very nice staff, & cozy resto. I went for tapas during the afternoon & everything was delicious. The jamon was fresh, potatoes had a marvelous sauce on them & the drinks were👌. I would defs come back.
an intimate gem, with its warm atmosphere & traditional cuisine. We had the pleasure of indulging in their very large paella, & it was incredibly satisfying! Packed with great flavors & showcasing perfectly cooked seafood.
In addition to the paella, we highly recommend the charcuterie & cheese plates. Each dish was crafted with fresh ingredients. They offer an excellent selection that pairs beautifully with their delicious tapas & cocktails.
It delivers authentic Iberian specialties, for anyone looking to explore traditional Spanish cuisine. 🇪🇸✨
