Retrouvez le goût d'une cuisine authentique & goûteuse. Ne passez pas côté des sardines, de la morue.

Tout ce que nous avons pris était succulent. Le sauté de porc à la portugaise est tout simplement divin !! Les desserts également sont tellement bons ! Nous avons pris le bifana à central & quelques entrées & nous nous sommes régalés. Ambiance familiale & conviviale. À noter qu'ils ne prenent qu'argent comptant donc c'est à prévoir.

Certainly feels genuinely Portuguese in here.
We've visited on both our trips to Montreal.
This time i enjoyed the fish of the day.
Last time a good pork dish.
My girlfriend a shrimp/prawn dish.

My gf has lived in Portugal & I've been a few times.

Food is mediocre & you can have better experiences in similar Portugal restaurants around the area. They don't take cards which is fine if they would tell you in advance. There are some places that do the same in Montreal but I have always been warned by waiters. Here they just don't care & point to the ATM of the house, which I find shady to say the least. & their answer to my comment speaks for itself. If you are'an authentic Portuguese' costumer they are happy to serve you. If you are a tourist, you are not welcomed. Suggestion: just add a Poster at the entrance so we'tourists' don't make the mistake to enter your place next time.

Une vraie petite perle portugaise ! 🇵🇹

J'ai adoré cet endroit. J'ai commandé un sandwich & il était tout simplement délicieux : frais, préparé sur le moment & d'une excellente qualité pour un prix très raisonnable.

Petit détail à savoir : on ne peut payer qu'en argent comptant. Il y a un guichet automatique sur place, mais ce jour-là, je n'avais que mon téléphone pour payer & pas ma carte bancaire. Malgré cela, le monsieur a été d'une grande gentillesse : il m'a fait confiance & m'a laissé repartir avec mon repas pour que je puisse le payer plus tard.

Ce petit geste en dit long sur la qualité humaine & le service exceptionnel qu'ils offrent. Ça fait vraiment plaisir de trouver un endroit où l'on mange bien & où l'on est accueilli avec autant de bienveillance.

J'y retournerai sans hésiter… à mardi prochain ! 😊
