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.
Globalement Amalia ressort comme une adresse portugaise chaleureuse et conviviale où l'ambiance cosy et festive et le cadre élégant invitent à rester, et où la cuisine genereuse et bien executee est au coeur de l'experience. Les plats de fruits de mer et de grillades se demarcquent par leur fraicheur et leur saveur, avec des coups de coeur pour le crudo de pétoncles, le poulpe et les calamars, la paella et le plateau mixte; les desserts comme le pouding chomeur et les natas font aussi partie des satisfactions pour certains. Le service est generalement attentif et professionnel, les cocktails creatifs et bien equilibrés et le personnel sait guider les choix et s'adapter aux allergies, mais quelques avis signalent des delais d'attente plus longs et des plats arrivant tièdes ou secs, et certains trouvent les prix eleves par rapport a l'experience. Malgré cela, Amalia est souvent recommandée pour une sortie entre amis ou en couple, pour une occasion speciale ou une soiree gourmande, et donne envie de revenir pour revivre cette combination de saveurs portugaises, de convivialite et de belle presentation.
Great place for a luncheon with your team. The food was delicious. The service was attentive. The restaurant itself has a nice cozy feel with booths & we had a lovely time. Highly recommend!
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 celebrated my hubby's birthday, ambiance very authentic & cozy. Staff very friendly, we shared the octopus for appetizer which was perfectly grilled. Main meals were delicious & the peach cobbler to die for. We recommend this Portuguese restaurant!
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.
Our first time here was a pleasantly wonderful & exciting experience. While celebrating our dearest friends birthday, we were exposed to the wonderful & delicious delicacies that they had to offer, in a cozy & personal atmosphere, with a team that shows their pride with every step they take.
With every bite, we were anxiously waiting for the next item to appear.
Thank you for helping to make our evening such a perfect one, with friends, family & in such a great place!
Ma cousine & moi sommes allées souper chez Amalia, & que dire… wow! La nourriture était tout simplement succulente. J'ai opté pour les calmars & les aubergines grillées - un vrai délice du début à la fin.
L'ambiance? Super cozy, parfaite pour une soirée entre filles.
Un immense merci à notre serveuse Karine, notre'new bestie', pour son service exemplaire & son beau sourire.
Un petit coucou à notre Busboy pour son attention particulière aussi.
C'est un 20 sur 10 pour moi!

Absolutely loved my experience at Restaurant Amalia! From the moment I stepped inside, I was immediately impressed by the chic, yet cozy atmosphere. The interior strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance & inviting warmth, making it a fantastic spot for both a romantic dinner or a night out with friends.
The service was impeccable-attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable, which made the entire dining experience feel even more special. & the food... wow! Every dish was a masterpiece, but I have to say, the scallop ceviche was my personal favorite. It was absolutely stunning-fresh, flavorful, & perfectly balanced. I highly recommend giving it a try when you visit!
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!
