This is not my first visit at Casa Mignota. I always order the Porco Alentejana. This is my first time of being disappointed with my meal. This plate is not normally made with broccoli & peppers. It did not tastes the same

A Little Taste of Portugal:
If you want to taste the real authentic Portuguese dishes, Casa Minhota is your place. Excellent quality & prices for your food. It does not matter what you order All there recipes are authentic & very good. Place is also very clean. The negative side: We are now hooked & are there every second week. The big bonus free parking in the back.
nous sommes des habitués nous avions des invités qui ont adorés l ambiance la nourriture, les petites attentions une entrée supplémentaire offerte par la maison & un plateau de raisin pour terminer le vin
I had a great experience today at the restaurant! I ordered a grilled bacalhau with potatos & vegetables covered with olive oil & a lot of garlic! The dish tasted awesome! Going together, I had some Portuguese wine. I will be back some day. 👍👍👍
This was the first place we ate at. It was late & we were looking for something that wasn’t going to have a wait & be in the area. There are a lot of Portuguese restaurants so thought we should try one out, but this one fell short despite decent reviews. The service was fine, but not super attentive & pretty minimalist except for the server at the end who was nice enough to give an extra free dessert to go.
Food wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either. The mussels tasted fishy & many weren’t opened. The octopus seemed more like a mixed salad with octopus instead of the octopus being the main star of the dish. The seafood plate was basically lobster (which I do appreciate & that was good) with other average seafood around it. They don’t give descriptions so you don’t know what you’re getting on the plate.
The bar area seemed more local & friendly. A decent amount of tables that were close but not too close, atmosphere was fine - not too loud, but felt lively enough. Overall I’d try elsewhere especially with the amount of great food in Montreal.
