Review Summary

Casa Minhota draws overall praise for its warm, homey Portuguese comfort and authentic flavors, with guests noting generous portions, fresh seafood like octopus and cod, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that evokes Portugal. The experience is described as more about soul and tradition than polish, with attentive service that is friendly without being intrusive, and a decor that makes visitors feel transported. While many visits are consistently good, a few reviews point to off nights where seasoning, timing, or preparation fell short and some dishes felt overcooked or parts of the menu did not meet expectations; however, the consensus remains that the restaurant offers genuine cuisine at good value and a memorable sense of place. Overall, Casa Minhota is seen as a Montreal staple for traditional Portuguese meals, a place to gather with family or friends and feel welcomed back to the homeland.

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.

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!

Très très belle découverte ! Excellente cuisine portugaise, pleines de saveurs , de goûts, & dans un équilibre gustatif qui se suffit à lui même harmonisé par le vino verde qui dans sa légèreté complète les saveurs sans les.surpassees.bien copieux se surcroît. Ça fait tellement du bien! LE MEILLEUR RESTAURANT SUR MONTREAL DEPUIS LONGTEMPS, & même à date pour nous!!! Bravo & merci! A bientôt !!

Absolument parfait. Ceci est de la part d'un portugais alors je sais de quoi je parle. C'est un restaurant qui représente vraiment bien la cuisine portugaise. 10 sur 10 !

I highly recommend Restaurant CASA MINHOTA! I have been going to this restaurant for many years & invited several friends from time to time to share the experience of dining there with me, we were never disappointed! The last time was on my birthday, I invited a group of 12 guests & the whole experience was exceptional! Food was fantastic, service was highly efficient & the bill at the end was more than fair! To top it off I was given a bottle of Porto at the end & was wished a good retirement, I asked, how they knew I was retired & without missing a beat, I was told they saw the news in the Montréal Gazette😁
