About

Montreal Paella focuses on the preparation of traditional Spanish rice dishes and an extensive selection of small plates. The menu centers on large-format pans featuring saffron-infused bomba rice combined with proteins like chorizo, shrimp, mussels, and chicken. Patrons encounter a setting dedicated to shared culinary experiences where tapas highlight regional ingredients such as piquillo peppers, manchego cheese, and marinated olives. The kitchen utilizes authentic techniques to achieve the signature caramelized socarrat crust on the base of every paella pan. Each dish emphasizes the bold, rustic flavor profiles characteristic of Iberian cooking traditions. The interior provides an environment suited for communal consumption of these classic Mediterranean offerings while maintaining a focus on consistent execution of standard regional recipes. This establishment prioritizes the technical accuracy of its rice preparations and the variety of its small-plate offerings for all diners.

There are many dining options in Montreal. Do yourself a favor & make the right choice & make a reservation at this place.

The chick pea & pork confit stew might make you reexamine your life. I'll be chasing that high for the rest of my life. You might question whether you deserve it or not. The chef assured me that I do indeed deserve it.

Good wine selection. Mushroom & chicken paella was top notch.

I ate most of the appetizers before I took a picture, which I think speaks to their quality.

C'était la première fois pour nous à cet endroit.L'ambiance est très bonne sauf que la musique est quand même assez forte.Bon service.Le goût des plats est très bon mais une note plutôt négative est reliée aux portions des plats.Il nous semble en effet que ces portions pourraient être plus grande.

A Late-Night Gem Serving Unforgettable Flavors!

If you're exploring Montreal & find yourself craving fantastic food after most kitchens have closed, look no further than Montreal Paella! This place is a true savior for night owls & food lovers, proving that late-night eats don't have to be ordinary.

The atmosphere is lively & authentic, making you feel like you've stumbled into a cozy tapas bar in Barcelona. We started with the Pulpo A La Gallega - the octopus was incredibly tender, perfectly smoky, & seasoned with paprika & olive oil that made every bite a small celebration.

But the real star of the show was the Mariscos Paella. Packed with fresh seafood-succulent mussels, clams, shrimp, & more-this dish was an absolute flavor explosion. The saffron-infused rice was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of socarrat (that delicious crispy bottom layer). Every spoonful transported us straight to the Mediterranean coast.

Whether you're ending a night out or simply in the mood for exceptional Spanish cuisine, Montreal Paella delivers on all fronts. I'm already dreaming of my next visit to Montreal just to have another taste. ¡Olé!

La comida está super rica y es auténticamente espanola. Hemos comido un grupo de espanoles y todos hemos coincidido en que estaba buenísimo. En especial nos han encantado las croquetas de jamón y pollo y la paella valenciana. También muy recomendable el pantumaca.
¡Deseando repetir!
