Had a brunch at this excellent Spanish restaurant last summer in Montreal, and the paella is cooked to the perfection, from the tender of the seafood to the divine mixture of the paella rice and sauce. Raw oysters are fresh. Spanish style foccacia with tomato and garlic spreads taste is excellent, good for an appetizer!

Reviews / Ratings for Boqueria
I was very disappointed with the food. The paella was far from what it should be. The service was also frustrating — the server kept speaking French even after I mentioned I don’t speak French at all, so I had to remind him multiple times. The restaurant was empty, but everything still came very slowly.
We went to Boqueria in the summer and had a wonderful experience. The terrace was great, and the food was genuinely delicious. We ordered gambas al ajillo, anchovies, and paella, and everything was on point. That’s why I was so surprised and disappointed when I brought friends back last night (we were 6). The ambience and interior design are beautiful—boho, Mediterranean style—and the background music was a fantastic selection. I didn’t drink, but my friends really enjoyed the cocktails. The food was honestly terrible, and it felt like a completely different restaurant compared to the summer.The gambas al ajillo had nothing to do with what we had before. The patatas bravas were basically just fries.And the paella was the worst I’ve had in my life. I lived in Spain for four years, and I’m not exaggerating when I say: please don’t call that paella. More broadly, the food last night didn’t resemble what you’d expect from Spanish cuisine at all. I truly hope the owners take this comment seriously, because I left feeling really disappointed—and honestly, embarrassed in front of my friends after recommending the place based on my previous experience.
This place is fantastic the food is really really good and the service was amazing he was so sweet to us and practically explained the entire menu when we had questions. It was a perfect place for our girls night!
Very good everything was excellent. I would go again very good thank you. Bye I will go again and have paella my favorite.
