📍 Montreal | A Seafood Paella Even Non-Seafood Lovers Will Adore 🥘

I’ve finally found my favorite Western restaurant in MTL—Iberica! Known for seafood, I’d avoided it until a Toronto friend insisted we try it… and wow, no regrets! 🏆 Must-Order Dishes ‼️ Seafood Paella (Secreto) I don’t eat seafood, but this paella? I devoured it! Even after picking out the seafood, the rice—infused with sausage, tender beef, and rich broth—was unreal. Compared to Tapeo’s (another paella hotspot), Iberica’s version is savory but not fishy, with perfectly sticky yet distinct grains. 10/10! ‼️ Bife Ancho D’Argentin (14oz Faux-Filet) Medium-rare perfection. No fancy sauces—just juicy, buttery beef that outshines most steakhouses. Today’s MVP! ‼️ Cotelette d’Agneau (Lamb Chops) Delicious, but not as mind-blowing as the paella or steak. Served with crispy potatoes, spicy mayo, and fried chili peppers—very Spanish! ‼️ Tiger Prawns in Garlic & Espelette Pepper Even seafood skeptics will love these plump, garlicky prawns (peeled for easy eating!). Pair with bread for maximum flavor. ‼️ Dessert Platter All hits, no misses—ideal for sharing! 💰 Price & Vibe Splurge-worthy: ~$100+/person (with wine), but worth every penny. Atmosphere: Upscale yet cozy, with impeccable service. Comparison: Blows Grinder out of the water—same price, 10x better quality. 📍 Iberica 1450 Rue Peel, Montreal #MontrealEats #BestPaella #FoodieHeaven #MTLFoodRecs #SplurgeDining
