Très bon restaurant portugais. Le meilleur a Montréal. A ne pas manquer absolument. Le Nec plus ultra de la cuisine traditionnelle Portugaise .le summum de la gastronomie portugaise près de chez vous
Food was good. We took the cabbage soup which was sublime & the meat platter to share. Also good. The meat was slightly overcooked but still really good. The service was really good too. Very attentive staff. We're definitely going back to try out more.

J'ai dîné hier au restaurant. Le service du serveur Nuno était excellent. La bouffe était spectaculaire. J'ai adoré. J'y retournerai & je le recommande.
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
Pretty good, the broa de milho was excellent, the grilled chicken was flavorful, the waiter Jose Manuel seemed very busy, & we didn't much of his attention, it was late & he was probably tired. Overall respect for these hard working people.
Excellente cuisine, serveurs sympathiques & amicales. Les portions son généralement très bien, surtout avec l'entrée, on en ressort rassasié.

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.
Superbe service, très attentionné, merci Juan!
Excellentes petiscos (entrées), les grillades étaient par contre trop « grilladées »…
J'y retourne pour les poissons, arroz marisco & plus!
