Review Summary

Café Central Portugais is widely recognized as a neighborhood gem that captures the authentic spirit of Portugal through its traditional cuisine, including standout items like cod cakes, pastéis de nata, and various pork dishes. Many patrons praise the friendly service and the immersive, old school atmosphere, which often makes visitors feel as though they have been transported abroad. While the outdoor terrace and social vibe are frequently highlighted as major assets, experiences remain somewhat polarized regarding management and value. Some guests have expressed frustration over inconsistent service policies, surprise cash-only requirements, and occasional issues with food quality or pricing, yet others consistently laud the staff for their kindness and recommend the establishment as one of the best spots in Montreal for genuine Portuguese flavors.

Totally overpriced. $25 for a few pieces of overcooked fish & rice, $5 for a coffee, after tax & tip it was $40 for lunch! Then they tell you it's cash only but there is an ATM... with a $3.50 fee! Every dep in the neighbourhood is $2.00. Despite the fish being overcooked, it was tasty & the service was friendly. But there are so many better options around that I will never be coming back.
