Montreal Paella

We ate on their little terrasse on Boulevard Ste. Laurent, Labor Day Weekend, & watched the Corgis Parade with sangria & tapas. Very fun! The wines & sangria were nice as well as having an excellent vermouth - Spanish vermouths are much too good to be put into drinks, they should be enjoyed on their own. One red sangria, two vermouths, one cava, one tempranillo from Rijoa, all very nice & well-enjoyed. Garlic shrimp was very nice but needed more oil to dip the bread in; we wiped the bowl dry & wished for more. The bean soup was awesome - very down-to-earth, simple, hearty, & delicious. The crystal toast was a hit too, as were the little skewers of tiny peppers & anchovy. Delicious!

Service was attentive & polite. Inside atmosphere was cool too. Recommended.

This Spanish restaurant is truly special. Although I haven't yet been to Valencia, I have travelled throughout Spain, & I can confidently say that the cooking here is both genuinely authentic & exceptionally well executed.

Nothing feels compromised or adapted for convenience-not even the ingredients. The quality is what you would expect to find in Spain itself, & it is remarkable that they have managed to bring it all together here in Montreal. Honestly, several of the dishes were better than versions I have had at highly rated restaurants in Madrid & Catalonia.

The Pintxo Gilda was excellent, with olives, high-quality anchovies, & the proper traditional peppers. I was especially impressed that they used the authentic peppers found in Spain, rather than substituting the cheaper, more readily available varieties that many restaurants use.

The Croquetas de Jamón Ibérico were flawlessly executed-crisp on the outside, creamy inside, & better than any croquetas I have had in Spain.

The Paella Valenciana was another standout. It was made with the correct variety of beans, & the rice was cooked perfectly without becoming overdone. It had a decent socarrat, although maybe could have used another minute on the flame, & both the rabbit & chicken were cooked perfectly & were very moist.

For anyone who wants to experience traditional Spanish cuisine without flying to Spain, this is the definitely the place to go in Montreal. Will definitely be back many times more.

Absolutely love this place. I've been here more than once & it's always worth it in my opinion. The chicken paella is my absolute favorite - the flavor is so good & I genuinely love every ingredient in it.

I also really appreciate how easy it is to navigate the menu with a gluten intolerance, since the gluten-free items are clearly marked. Everything I've tried here has been delicious, including the rice pudding & bravas!

The staff are always super friendly & go above & beyond. On my last visit, our server recommended a glass of white wine that paired perfectly with my paella, which I really appreciated. Definitely one of the places I recommend when people want really good Spanish food in Montreal. Will absolutely be back.
