Montreal Paella se concentre sur la préparation de plats de riz espagnols traditionnels et d'une vaste sélection de petites assiettes à partager. Le menu met en vedette des poêles grand format composées de riz bomba infusé au safran et agrémentées de protéines comme le chorizo, les crevettes, les moules et le poulet. Les clients découvrent un espace dédié aux expériences culinaires collectives où les tapas valorisent des ingrédients régionaux tels que les poivrons piquillo, le fromage manchego et les olives marinées. La cuisine utilise des techniques authentiques pour obtenir la croûte caramélisée signature appelée socarrat au fond de chaque poêle. Chaque plat souligne les profils de saveurs rustiques propres aux traditions ibériques. L'intérieur offre un cadre propice à la consommation de ces classiques méditerranéens tout en maintenant une exécution rigoureuse des recettes régionales standardisées sans superflu.
Montréal Paella est largement reconnu comme un joyau espagnol authentique qui transporte ses clients directement en Espagne grâce à la qualité exceptionnelle et aux saveurs traditionnelles de sa cuisine. Le restaurant est constamment salué pour ses plats frais et savoureux, notamment ses divers choix de paellas, ses tapas et ses desserts maison comme le cheesecake basque. Bien que quelques clients aient souligné des temps d'attente pour la paella ou des irrégularités occasionnelles dans le service, la grande majorité des visiteurs mettent en avant l'ambiance chaleureuse, le personnel professionnel et l'attention portée aux restrictions alimentaires telles que l'intolérance au gluten. Que ce soit pour un repas sur place dans un cadre intime ou pour une commande en ligne, les convives décrivent régulièrement cette expérience culinaire comme étant spectaculaire, authentique et représentative de ce qui se fait de mieux en matière de cuisine espagnole dans la ville.
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.
We stopped by Montréal Paella at the suggestions of friends, & were glad we did. The staff was very friendly, made great suggestions about what to order (for 10 people), & provided great service
We were an eclectic group, with several of us being gluten free &/or vegetarian, & the staff didn't bat an eye at that. We ordered three different paellas - seafood, chicken & vegetarian - & all were great. The sangria (both red & white) were also big hits.
The house-made Basque cheesecake provided a wonderful finish to a phenomenal meal. If you're looking for a good restaurant in the Plateau Mont-Real area, look no further.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés chez Montréal Paella sur la recommandation d'amis, & nous ne l'avons pas regretté. L'équipe s'est montrée très chaleureuse, nous a fait d'excellentes suggestions quant au choix des plats (pour un groupe de 10 personnes) & nous a offert un service impeccable.
Nous formions un groupe éclectique, dont plusieurs membres suivaient un régime sans gluten &/ou végétarien ; l'équipe n'en a pas pris ombrage le moins du monde. Nous avons commandé trois paellas différentes - aux fruits de mer, au poulet & végétarienne - & toutes étaient délicieuses. La sangria (aussi bien la rouge que la blanche) a également remporté un franc succès.
Le cheesecake basque maison a constitué une merveilleuse touche finale à ce repas phénoménal. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un bon restaurant dans le quartier du Plateau Mont-Royal, ne cherchez pas plus loin.
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.

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.
I had the mixta paella & I requested for there to be a little kick of spice. From the first bite I was transported a world away. The rice really soaked in the flavour & each mouthful had a little chicken or seafood with it. You can tell that they love what they do in that kitchen!!!!
The ambiance & service was excellent. We started with fried calamari which was fried in a white bread coating which was very good but lacked quantity for the price. My wife had the seafood with monk fish paella & I had the traditional Valencian paella with chicken & rabbit. However, one chicken leg & a very small piece of rabbit mostly bone was very disappointing. You expected the taste of the chicken & especially rabbit to have some flavor in the rice as it should because it was cooked in it but there wasn't. The dish looked empty. The same with my wife's dish. A couple a small shrimps, a few mussels & calamari & the monk fish, three miniscule pieces. It lacked the taste of the seafood.
Both paellas lacked the main ingredients of what what you ordered: seafood, chicken & rabbit. For this reason I will not go back or recommend.
Very delicious food. Chicken croquettes were delicious, however Jamon Iberico ones were not as good. Chicken paella was also very good, full of flavour. Prices are reasonable.
The seafoot paella was tasty & good but the chicken & mushroom paella was salty & dry. Besides that, service was good & reasonably fast. Have to consider that the food has to be prepared & baked. Watch out for the steel handles for the paella, extremely hot.
We were okay with 40min waiting time which is reasonable for freshly cooked food but they took the wrong order. the black rice one was delicious but the chicken seem to be not the freshest my two friends both who ordered it has stomach issue after.
I travel to Montreal frequently & had been trying to coordinate a visit since I found out about Montreal Paella. Yesterday I got the opportunity to visit & it did not disappoint. I was greeted immediately after walking in. My order was taken quickly by a wonderful young lady from Zaragoza & with whom I had a wonderful short chat about Spain. I ordered patatas bravas, paella Valenciana with chicken & rabbit & a glass of sangria. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be back to try some more of the menu items.
