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.

Best Portuguese restaurant in Montreal by far. Owners create an awesome experience & dishes are typical of the north & are prepared by a master chef.

The warm Mediterranean atmosphere is wonderful. The service was a bit of a slow burn-our waiter was hard to find at times, but whenever he showed up, his great energy really added to the mood

Comida típica portuguesa saborosíssima, muito bem servida, vale a pena ir em família. O ambiente é aconchegante e o atendimento fois rápido mas faltou cordialidade. Em alguns momentos me senti desconfortável, o garçom parecia visivelmente incomodado com a nossa presença.
