This is written in the context of Amalia charging on the pricier end for a middle class restaurant. There were 3 of us, 2 shared the mixed grill & 1 had the branzini.
The service was poor: I had to ask the waiter to remove the cap from my bottle of beer so I could drink it. Our food was not brought out at the same time & one of us had to wait several minutes after the other 2 were already served. When the final meal was brought out, the waiter unceremoniously dumped the plate in front of the person & ran off - no'Is there anything else you need','Can I get you another drink', etc. I would have loved another drink, but that was not to be. Water glasses were small, & these also were not refilled. We ordered roast potatoes & were served fries.
Food was mediocre. The beef in the mixed grill was full of sinew & difficult to eat. The fish was overcooked & dry. Fish was served on puree of vegetable, which to me is a cheap restaurant way of using up old vegetables. The only other accompaniment with the fish were 4 very thin asparagus spears - under the category of why bother. We had the croquette appetizer, which was also poor quality with little taste & the consistency of raw potato.
Seating & noise level were okay. I won't be returning & won't recommend it to friends.
Went here with my boys & had a night to remember. Food was on point, great drinks & shoutout to Lia. Great service, great experience all in all. Will be back
Amazing experience! Had a lovely time with my girls. Food & drinks were delicious. Our waitress was so accommodating to my allergies & the shorter owner made are time memorable. Recommend 10/10
Went to Amalia for brunch with a group of friends & honestly… wow.
Everything was so good-from the food & drinks to the service & all the little details. You can tell a lot of thought goes into the experience.
The owner was there & was incredibly hospitable. He came by our table, made us feel so welcome, & even brought us a round of shots, which was such a nice touch.
& the French toast? Unreal. Genuinely one of the best I've had.
It's not often I leave a restaurant already planning my next visit, but I'll definitely be back.
From the food, to the atmosphere, to the professional service, Amalia is a prime example of a fantastic restaurant. The food platters are filling, tasty & amazing. Great place to visit if you are celebrating a special occasion. The decor is beautiful & the food timing was amazing. The drinks were tasty & rich in alcohol. Will definitely be back.
We were a group of 6 on friday & we had a great time. Their drinks are really & pretty much anything we ordered hit the spot. For groups i highly suggest to share the mixed grills & the paella.... but make sure you don't skip out on the pouding chomeur (yes not very Portugese, but it beats their natas by a long shot!)
We went to Amalia on Valentine's Day & had an amazing experience! The food & drinks were incredible, but the service truly made it outstanding. Tony & Xavier went above & beyond & made us feel so welcomed.
Highly recommend - 11/10! We'll definitely be back & can't wait to try their sister restaurant, Sel Noir.
went with my better half & her mom. We walked in & the place was really quiet… then a young lady & young man appeared & asked if we had reservations the answer was yes & we were seated. First impression was oh boy… then we were asked if we were Super Bowl fans & then it dawned on us that it was quiet because of that. We got menus & selected some drinks they arrived bang on super tasty the menu was simple & everything looked fantastic we ordered appetizers & again were blown away. The music was playing in the background nice boss nova versions of classic songs had me toe tapping in no time! Then we ordered food. I had the steak & the table had the chicken & gnocchi again totally floored with how good the food was & how impeccable the service was. The duo that was working made sure the table was well taken care of from water to follow up visits to general pleasant conversation. I can't wait to go there again & get a real feel for the vibe of the place when it's packed!! Lia thank you for your excellent service, professionalism & honesty!!
I went for a business lunch meeting & it was the perfect vibe!
Food & service was really spot on. I ended up calling my girls to end the night with drinks & more tapas!
Also, shoutout the co owner Desmond who took care of us✨
Coming back for sure!
Tony our server was fantastic! He went above & beyond his regular duties. One of the guests lost their cellphone & he did every thing to retrieve it & still managed to give us exceptional service as we were running late for our concert.
The food & drinks were amazing! Best espresso martini I've ever had!!
Definitely be back next time we are visiting Montreal.
