My family & I have been going here for years. It's one of the gems of Montreal restaurants. The food is authentic, delicious, & proportionate to the cost. My favourite dishes are the grilled octopus & shrimp entrees, the sea food rice main dish, & the aroz doce (sweet rice) dessert. The service here is unlike others. From the moment you enter, to the second you leave, the waiters are always making sure you well taken care of. The atmosphere makes me feel like I'm back in Portugal; with the beautiful decor & homey feel. All in all, this place is not only a must try, but also a tradition to eat here.

I used to go there when I was a kid & a teenager. Took my girlfriend there for Valentine's Day. This restaurant is still awesome. Staff is super friendly & accommodating. Food is wonderful. (Try the shrimp entrée; trust me, it is worth it.)

The staff has always been so amazing to my family who had come here before ALS games for many, many years. I hope the closed hous are just short term because I'll Die without my spicy shrimp

A true gem in the heart of Plateau-Mont-Royal (Portuguese Plateau).

We were 5 people for lunch during a busy weekend, Saint-Laurent Sidewalk Sale. Surprisingly inside, it wasn't. We showed up no reservation & they took us in right away.

The waiter was super friendly & checked up on us regularly. There was a big group in the second section of the restaurant, but they weren't that loud for us to talk. The food was amazing. No issues with the chicken, pork, shrimps & steak. Everything was perfection.

I would suggest anyone on a visit from anywhere, to try out this restaurant if you are in the heart of the Portugese Plateau.

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!

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.

Amazing like always. The food was amazing but that shrimp in garlic sauce is just out of this world.
