Bidra med feedbackAs a spaniard, I approve! The croquetas are so tasty and amazing. It feels like i'm back in Spain <3 The jamon serrano croquetas are my obviously my favorite. I just wish, they can bring back the crema catalana croquetas.
After reading about this place in a top 10 list somewhere, my girlfriend and I rode bikes for lunch. I don't think you can eat inside, and there are only a few benches in front. It's a nice neighborhood though so eating out on the street or on the benches is very pleasant. The person who took our order was very friendly. We are here a month so we will definitely be back. I would recommend getting a variety of 12, eating 3 6 and taking the rest home to reheat later.
Updated review: I have heard they premake some of the food well in advance and reheat it before serving. Some may be frozen. This is not authentic Spanish food, which makes marvelous, FRESH fried things.The quality has changed. They are now oily (makes sense if they're sitting there for hours or frozen, there are vastly fewer interesting flavors (virtually no seafood), and the overall taste is not as superlative as before. At this quality they are absolutely not worth the price. I'd give them the same grade as bar food. I hate to say that, but it's true.The owner should focus less on expansion, branding and social media, and more on the food.Review from 2020:Very good little shop with delicious croqués! Nice, friendly owners, and cute decor too.
I got to try their pop up at Jean Talon market delicious. I tried the cheddar and the ham. Definitely going back!
Eating is so much about both of food and the experience. You get both at La Croquetería de Montreal.I stopped at the Marché Jean Talon booth, and ordered a small paella and one of each croqueta. It was so good and filling, and the owner was happy to let me order in Spanish (I'm learning and it was my first time speaking it with a native person! .The croquetas were so creamy inside yet crispy and golden outside. The paella had large shrimps and the portion was very generous. Lovely
