Review Summary

Casa Minhota is described in reviews as a beloved traditional Portuguese restaurant in Montreal with authentic flavorful dishes served in generous portions at good value, and a cozy homey atmosphere that evokes Portugal. The service is repeatedly praised as friendly and attentive, helping to create a welcoming dining experience. The menu shines with seafood and classic dishes, from grilled octopus and shrimp entrees to arroz marisco and cod preparations, complemented by comforting croquettes, soups, and a refreshing sangria. The space is noted for beautiful decor and a lively yet comfortable vibe, with many noting consistent quality and warm recommendations for a visit. Some visits are described as off nights, with meals that feel greasy, underseasoned, overcooked, or not as fresh, and a few mentions of slower pacing or variable portions, but these are balanced by many highly positive experiences. Overall, Casa Minhota is viewed as a standout choice for traditional Portuguese cooking in Montreal, valued for authenticity, ambiance, and attentive staff.

We had a wonderful dinner after a hockey game on Saturday in December - didn't book but they found us a table even if it was late. We enjoyed the delicious food & end of evening there. Everything that we ordered was succulent but spicy shrimps & steaks on the stone are spectacular ! Service was great, efficient, warm & contributed to this great & highly recommended experience! Love it!

I recently dined at Casa Minhota & had an amazing experience. The place has a cozy, inviting atmosphere, & the staff were incredibly welcoming & attentive. As a Portuguese, I can confidently say the food was authentic & absolutely delicious, bringing me back to the flavors of home. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the rich, flavorful stews, everything was spot-on. If you're looking for a genuine taste of Portugal, I highly recommend Casa Minhota. I'll definitely be back!

We were hosted to this restaurant by our Portuguese friend recently. It's clearly a family favorite, & now I understand why. The Portuguese cuisine was the best I've ever had-everything was freshly made, bursting with flavor, & incredibly juicy. A big thank you to CASA MINHOTA for the exceptional hospitality & for letting us experience such outstanding dishes. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Restaurant CASA MINHOTA! I have been going to this restaurant for many years & invited several friends from time to time to share the experience of dining there with me, we were never disappointed! The last time was on my birthday, I invited a group of 12 guests & the whole experience was exceptional! Food was fantastic, service was highly efficient & the bill at the end was more than fair! To top it off I was given a bottle of Porto at the end & was wished a good retirement, I asked, how they knew I was retired & without missing a beat, I was told they saw the news in the Montréal Gazette😁
