Good quality authentic cooking.
Limited English spoken.
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 ! 😊
Home friendly old school Portuguese bar. Servicing drinks, alcohol & Portuguese style food.
On est vendredi, 10 juillet
Il est 20h20 & ils ferment la terrasse...
Très dommage en cette belle soirée !
Ça ne me donne pas très envi de revenir. Aucune explication, aucune accomodation, c'est comme ça...
After watching the World Cup, we stopped by for two expresso. Unfortunately, the person who served us wasn't very friendly. If you're going to charge $7 for two small coffees, the least you can do is treat your customers with kindness & courtesy. Good service costs nothing, & a warm attitude would have made the experience much more enjoyable.
Saturday we came to Café Centrale to watch both matches & had such a great experience that we decided to come back on Monday for the Portugal vs. Spain game. A big reason we returned was because of the exceptional service we received from Amaya. She is an absolute gem & deserves to be recognized.
Knowing it was a Portuguese bar & that it would be packed, we arrived at 1:30 p.m. for the 3:00 p.m. match. Amaya explained that the owner had told her every table was reserved, so she offered us a small bar table in the back. We happily accepted because we were there to enjoy the game, have a few beers, & soak up the atmosphere.
At one point, I moved the table slightly into the shade. The owner immediately came over &, after asking if we had a reservation, told us that if a larger group arrived, we would have to give up our table. Keep in mind this was a small bar table that could only seat four people. Two days earlier, we had spent over $500 at the restaurant, yet instead of feeling like valued returning customers, we were made to feel completely disposable.
What made the situation even more frustrating was that, over the next 30 minutes, we watched several groups of two or three people arrive without reservations & be seated at regular tables. It quickly became apparent that the'all tables are reserved' rule seemed to apply only to us.
I understand that big game days are stressful & busy, but that's when customer service matters the most. Being busy is never an excuse to make guests feel unwelcome. Respect, consistency, & kindness should be extended to every customer, especially those who choose to come back.
Unfortunately, customer service starts at the top, & that's exactly where our experience fell short. The owner's attitude came across as dismissive & unwelcoming, leaving us feeling like our business wasn't appreciated. We won't be returning, which is disappointing because Amaya provided the kind of service that creates loyal customers. She deserves recognition, & frankly, the leadership at this establishment should strive to meet the same standard.
Had some pasteis de bacalhau & superbocks & it was great....the food the beer & atmosphere felt like I was in a small town bar back in Portugal.
