La Paella is hands-down one of the best Spanish restaurants I've been to! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality & a cozy, authentic atmosphere that transports you straight to Spain. We ordered the seafood paella & it was amazing. Service was friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable about the menu. You can really tell the staff care about the food & the experience.
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.

J'ai adoré l'atmosphère avec le service à la clientèle qui était agréable & rapide sans parler de la délicieuse paella Valence! Je recommendrais au autres d'y aller!
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 ! L'ambiance du lieu est conviviale, parfaite pour un dîner entre amis ou une soirée romantique. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

Calamari paella was beautifully presented & favorfully balanced with a generous portion if seafood! Note that my palate leans towards dishes lighter on sodium so thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. Charming family business with dad in the kitchen & his son running the floor.
Restaurant touristique, cher pour la qualité. La serveuse était très gentille mais la paella poulet chorizo laissait vraiment à désirer. Les morceaux de poulet était secs & n'avaient pas de goût. Le pain était congelé & la sangria blanche beaucoup trop sucrée, était imbuvable. Par ailleurs, le premier pourboire affiché est de 25% ce qui est très mesquin.
Such an underrated & charming spot for amazing food & drinks! The atmosphere is unmatched from the decor to the music. & the owner is a sweetheart who wants to make sure that everyone is having the best time. Genuinely a top tier restaurant in Montreal!
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.
