Amalia Montréal est un joyau culinaire niché au cœur de Westmount, qui apporte à Montréal les saveurs vibrantes et l'hospitalité chaleureuse d'une cuisine d'inspiration portugaise.
Amalia Montreal se présente comme un restaurant chaleureux et vibrant où les plats généreux et savoureux, l'ambiance et l'accueil sont largement salués, avec des options comme le piri piri chicken, les croquettes de bacalhau, la paella et le poulpe qui séduisent autant les amateurs de fruits de mer que les amateurs de viande. L'ambiance est décrite comme intime et chic, avec une disposition à niveaux multiples et une décoration qui mêle touches modernes et classiques, en faisant un choix solide pour un rendez-vous, une soirée entre amis ou une sortie animée. Le service est souvent loué pour sa convivialité et son attention, même si certains avis mentionnent des délais plus longs lors des soirées occupées et quelques incohérences dans le service. Les cocktails et les desserts obtiennent aussi de bons retours, en particulier les espresso martinis et les desserts bien équilibrés. Dans l'ensemble, Amalia Montreal est vue comme une option incontournable pour une expérience culinaire dynamique avec des portions généreuses et des saveurs mémorables, un endroit qui donne envie de revenir.
We ordered the grilled meat assortment for 2 at 155$. After waiting for over an hour for our dish, the octopus was inedible/rubbery due to being over cooked. The piri-piri chicken was also dry & served cold. The steak was well cooked, but hadn't rested, such that the blood was dripping of the table & onto the floor. A waiter had to come clean it up. The sauce was like water. When we mentioned this to our waiter, they said they'd bring it up with the manager who didn't come see us & rather offered us a glass of port. We refused & left. We were so disappointed with our experience because this restaurant looked promising & the menu appealing. The poorly executed grilled meat assortment & the lack of service are the reason we cannot recommend this place.

My experince here was really great the food was amazing fresh & Peri-Peri chicken was delightful.The wine was amazing & smooth. The peach cobbler was fantastic & so yummy & delicious. I definitely coming back for sure with the rest of my family.
Brought our daughters for their respective birthdays. The grilled octopus & croquettes of cod amazing. The Piri Piri chicken, lamb chops & steak tartare delicious. First time here & very memorable meal. Great job & success to this place. Beautiful decor as well. All was made better by the attentive service by Lea. Wonderful night overall!
Loved our night at Amalia. It was a busy night, but Mary Lou was a star, attentive with a really natural, easy communication style that made everything feel smooth & fun.
Food was good overall, some hits & some misses, but for a Portuguese spot the piri piri chicken & bacalhau croquettes really stood out. Intimate, beautifully designed space, perfect for a date or special night out.
With Valentine's Day coming in, this is the perfect date night spot! Amazing food, service, great vibes. ✨
The bacalhau croquettes, chicken wings, & the mixed grill (offered for 2 or 4) were all beyond perfect; beautiful presentation, plenty of food (ordered with fries), & all meats/seafood cooked to perfection.
Bonus: The espresso martinis made with pastel de nata cream was easily the best espresso martini I've ever had, & dessert was perfectly balanced with them.
Great vibes, wonderful service, great music… already counting down until our next visit! 😍
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!!

Very disappointing evening. The Branzino was supposed to be deboned at the table. The poor waiter had no idea what he was doing & massacred the fish. It was sad to watch. We had to pick the bones out of the mashed up fish. It was served with a tasty butternut squash puree which unfortunately was cold as was the asparagus. Also ordered at our table were the mussels which my husband enjoyed, another friend had the chicken & the comment was that it was dry & another friend had the lamb chops which he enjoyed.
All in all not an enjoyable evening consensus is we won't be coming back
Great vibe, with a beautiful, cozy ambience. Lea, our server, doted on us, warmly chatting with us & educating about the drink ingredients & desserts, etc.
The chicken on the salad I chose was outstanding (an incredible char/smoke flavour); the dressing was superb; the portion very generous.
The drink, a purple haze, was so yummy, as was my companion's drink, a variation of an espresso martini.
Can't wait to return again for a full meal.
We were there for a light lunch & a couple of cocktails after a rough morning & were absolutely charmed & doted upon by our lovely waitress Lea. The chicken was perfectly cooked & to die for, the drinks were delicious; flavourful without being too sweet or too strong. Truly a gem of a place!
This spot definitely knows how to set the mood - beautifully decorated, cozy yet stylish, & with music that's lively but not blasting your eardrums 🎶. The multilevel design adds a nice dimension to the place, making it feel vibrant & open.
🍹 Cocktails: Absolutely lovely! Creative, well-balanced, & a real highlight of the evening. Our waitress was a star 🌟 - super friendly, knew the menu inside out, & guided us like a pro.
🍽? Food:
• The seafood options are the real heroes here 🐟🦑 - fresh, tender, & cooked with skill.
• The steak? 👌 Juicy, flavorful, & definitely the standout among the mains.
• The asparagus salad 🥗 was crisp & refreshing, while the burrata melted in the mouth - creamy perfection!
• The grilled octopus had the right texture but sadly lacked the seasoning punch it deserved.
• The roasted chicken… oh dear 😬 - dry, plain, & crying out for a sauce. Hard to love without it.
• The gnocchi was tasty but… $40 for a tiny portion? That's a chef's kiss in the wrong way 💸👎.
? Service: The staff were hustling hard & clearly giving it their all 💪, but the kitchen speed just couldn't keep up. I spent more time waiting for plates than enjoying them - & that's not the balance you want.
💰 Price vs. Experience: For the bill we paid, I expected fireworks 🎇. Instead, it was more like a sparkler - pretty in moments, but fizzled too soon.
?
👉 Overall: A restaurant with charm, strong cocktails, & great seafood - but the inconsistency & slow service mean it doesn't quite justify the price. Still, with a few chef-level tweaks 👨?🍳🔪, it could shine much brighter.
I had the pleasure of visiting Amalia for lunch with my boss, & everything about the experience was excellent. We were lucky to have Lea as our server, & she was truly fantastic-attentive to our needs, warm, & thoughtful with her recommendations.
Based on her suggestions, we ordered the chicken salad & the shrimp & chorizo bowl, both of which were delicious & beautifully presented. For dessert, we tried the nata with ice cream, & it was the perfect sweet ending. I also requested the piri piri sauce on the side, & it was absolutely spot on.
From start to finish, the service, food, & presentation exceeded expectations. I would recommend Amalia with eyes closed-a wonderful dining experience I'll definitely repeat!
The waitstaff were very hardworking, but unfortunately that didn't make up for the slow service. The food also didn't live up to the price. The roasted chicken was dry & plain - without any sauce, it was hard to eat. The gnocchi was $40 for a small portion. The steak was actually quite good, much better than the other two mains. The asparagus salad was fresh, & the grilled octopus was tender but lacked flavor. Burrata was good as well. However, my wait time was significantly longer than the time I spent eating, even though the restaurant was busy but not full.
Amazing experience at Amalia! The steak & fries & peri-peri chicken were absolutely delicious. Our waitress was super friendly & professional. Great spot for a celebration - we'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We had a truly wonderful evening at Amalia. From start to finish, the experience was warm, festive, & delicious. We were in great company with Desmond & Théo, who helped make the evening even more special.
The food was outstanding. The Piri Piri chicken was tender, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. I highly recommend starting with the fried gnocchi - absolutely addictive - & the octopus salad, which was fresh & beautifully balanced.
The wine pairings were thoughtfully selected & complemented the meal wonderfully. Feeling festive, we also indulged in a few cocktails, all crafted with care & expertise - true to the art of mixology.
Amalia is a fantastic spot in Montreal for anyone looking for excellent food, great drinks, & a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Had an amazing dinner with my wife at Amalia in Westmount! The atmosphere was warm & cozy, perfect for a night out. Tried the piri-piri chicken, & it was absolutely worth it! Tender, flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. The whole place has a great vibe, & the staff was super friendly. Definitely a spot I'd go back to!
