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.

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!

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!
