I had the worst experience ever dining with my family in this restaurant, the food was great tho but the service was the worst , we were so mistreated & I felt like we were racially profiled , they took forever to put in our order , we waited for more than an hour just to get our appetizer & mind you i still tip 20 % , we left feeling humiliated.
Out server was ignoring us the whole time, my son was trying to get his attention to get our bill but no response whatsoever
I don't recommend this restaurant at all

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!
This place was a beautiful surprise. Food is amazing, atmosphere & the service was impeccable, friendly & polite. Everything we eat was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the shrimp & the house red wine. 🍷 I'll definitely come back many times!

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!
Very good Portuguese restaurant food is authentic remind me of back home, service is friendly & fast recommend this place 💯 great for any occasion! Give it a try you won't regret it
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!
Very good portugese food, & the staff is great & helpful. Brought me back to my time in Lisbon. Anyone looking to try a bit of Portugal deliciousness i'd recommend you stop here.

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😁
All the meat was overcooked but OK. Shrimp was great & bread tasty. Lobster...meh. Service was normal if a little ingratiating. Dessert was a small pastry typico, but it had been frozen & microwaved without our knowledge, & when my brother went to bite into it, it scalded his hand. It was excessively hot only on the inside, & although some ice was brought for his injured fingers, we did NOT receive an apology or any adjustment to our bill despite the 3 of us eating. This joint has hung around all these years & is attractive to look at but, no, I don't recommend it at all...there's so much better food in this city if you look.
This is one of the best Portuguese restaurants Ive ever been to. The waiter picked out our meal selection because it was our first time there & everything was 10/10! Highly recommend if you're looking to have really amazing seafood..
