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!
My favorite place for Piri piri chicken!
Nice decor, very friendly servers.
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!
Great Experience with friends. Food was epic 5 stars. Must try the grill chicken. Chef Baba is phenomenal & also deserves 5 stars
Service was okay, chicken was dry but i loved the restaurant vibe.
My go-to is always the piri piri chicken. Amazing taste & perfect quality. I highly recommend Amalia for anyone who is having doubts
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!
What an amazing experience! The Portuguese chicken was hands down the best I've had, so flavorful & perfectly cooked. The oysters with piri piri sauce were a game-changer, & the cod croquette? Easily one of the best I've ever tasted, crispy, light, & packed with flavor. Every bite felt like a trip to Portugal!
The drinks were just as impressive, & to top it all off, our server Julieta was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, always smiling, & made sure we had the best experience. Huge kudos to her for her kindness & great service!
Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!
We had an incredible dining experience at this Portuguese restaurant, where everything from the appetizers to the cocktails exceeded our expectations.
To start, the appetizers were simply outstanding. The asparagus salad was fresh & flavorful, the roasted eggplant had the perfect smoky depth, & the burrata was creamy & indulgent-each dish was beautifully prepared & packed with flavor.
For the main course, we shared a spectacular meat platter that was a true showcase of Portuguese flavors. The combination of juicy steak, beef chorizo, succulent shrimp, perfectly grilled octopus, & spicy, flavorful chicken made for a memorable meal. Every bite was cooked to perfection, with bold, well-balanced seasoning that kept us coming back for more.
The service was just as remarkable as the food. The waitstaff was attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely warm, enhancing our experience with their hospitality. The cocktail menu was also a highlight, offering a fantastic selection that complemented our meal beautifully.
Overall, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable dining experience, & we'll definitely be returning for another taste of their amazing Portuguese cuisine. Highly recommended!
