About

Casa Minhota serves authentic Portuguese cuisine centered on fresh seafood and traditional tapas. Guests encounter a menu featuring salt cod prepared in multiple regional styles alongside grilled sardines and succulent octopus drizzled in high-quality olive oil. Small plates focus on bold flavors including spicy chorizo, garlic-heavy shrimp, and rich bean stews that characterize the culinary traditions of northern Portugal. The kitchen emphasizes ingredient integrity through direct heat cooking methods that honor coastal cooking techniques. Simple preparation allows the natural essence of shellfish and Atlantic fish to remain the primary focus of every dish. The environment prioritizes functional simplicity, ensuring that the focus remains entirely on the robust flavor profiles and authentic textures found in traditional Iberian fare.

If you are looking for a cosy - almost romantic like atmosphere, warm attentive service (when not overly busy), authentic Portuguese food - This is the right place.

I am going to make this really simple & to the point with regards to their food.
EVERY dish I have eaten over multiple visits has been most enjoyable. Seasoning, portions, texture, doneness - you name it. The only sad part of this place is when you are finished your meal - you actually kinda want to press a magic button to restart the experience & start to eat all over again.
& as with any good Portuguese restaurant, the classic dessert to eat is the Nata... it is simple, delicious & you can not stop at one.

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!

An abundance of seafood is served here, whether it is in season or not. I asked our server where the lobster was from & he said Newfoundland. Lobster season in NL ends in July every year so either he wasn't telling the truth or the lobster wasn't very fresh. The sardines were good, a Portuguese specialty worth trying.

The food was mediocre. We can make it as good at home. We didn't enjoy the recommendations from the waiter. Service was very slow. We will not go back.
