I had a reservation tonight with my husband & tonight went in a way we did not expect. I do not typically leave bad reviews & we did enjoy everything else but unfortunately this experience could have become very dangerous. My husband has a severe dairy allergy, we had several servers come to the table & we informed them each time of the severe allergy & enquired to make sure nothing had dairy, both tapas & both main meals we had. I know we were speaking english & perhaps that led to the misunderstanding although all servers spoke good english, but it was imperative that nothing included dairy or any form, butter, skimmed milk, milk powder etc & we were assured nothing did. therefore I felt at ease to share a bit of my meal with my partner when he noticed a change in his throat & we knew something was wrong. going from happiness & enjoyment of the space & meal to complete fear for my partner given we had not prepared for an allergic reaction this day specifically. The manager or owner, i'm guessing came to our table, comped our meal & comforted us as it progressed, told us where the nearest hospital, where ubers typically pick somebody up in the old port & for that i'm greatful but it took us a long time to find the uber as we were panicking for his safety & then to be attended at the hospital, thankfully we both got home safely tonight. please I urge your team to improve allergy training, to ensure each & every ingredient is reviewed. there's a big difference between a dairy intolerance & an allergy.

We found our waiter very grumpy. The tapas, were delicious, but too small of a portion. The prices were very high for dinner. I would hesitate to recommend this restaurant for dinner.

La vraie combinaison pour les Montréalais cet hiver que je vous suggère.
Le Solmar, 11 St-Paul est situé au 2ième étage avec spectacle les vendredis & samedis soirs ainsi que La Sauvagine au 115 St-Paul au rez-de-chaussée dans une ambiance rustique & calme.
Par un midi ensoleillé, je me suis arrêté & j’ai essayé une belle terrasse extérieure pourvue de fleurs & de belles tables en céramique peintes à la main importées du Portugal & munies de grands parasols. Ils annonçaient des spéciaux de $12 à $15 dollars servis entre 12hres à 15hres. A leur menu, ils offraient une table d’hôte à partir de $17.95 jusqu’à $48.95, un menu 4 services servi en parallèle entre midi & 22-24hres selon la saison.
Depuis six, sept ans notre groupe de plusieurs personnes l’avons adopté. Tous les jeudis nous venons déguster les magnifiques tapas portugais, les entrées de La Sauvagine sans oublier la fameuse casserole de fruits de mer, les crevettes au Madère, les escalope de veau au Porto, les linguines de fruits de mer, le filet mignon sauce au bleu à la portugaise, le Carré d’agneau du Québec, le trio de canard au foie gras, le trio au trois gibiers garnis de 3 différents sauces & d’une variété de légumes frais toujours bien présentés.
Ce sont d’excellents plats servis par un personnel courtois & attentionné qui peut vous servir dans plusieurs langues,
Il me fait plaisir de suggéré à tous mes clients & amis cet endroit qui nous rappelle la belle époque portugaise ou française ou l’on peut se régaler & profiter pleinement de la terrasse installée à même le trottoir & la rue, l’une des plus belles de la rue St-Paul pour manger un repas de qualité à un prix très abordable en comparaison d’autres restaurants & ensuite se prélasser sur la terrasse sans oublier les soirées animées du temps des Fêtes en particulier de la nouvelle année. Je ne pensais pas suggérer cet endroit depuis six, sept ans, mais à la lecture de certaines critiques mal intentionnées je me permets de rétablir les faits face à une critique mal fondée de certains compétiteurs qui ne peuvent offrir un service de cette qualité à des prix raisonnables.
Toutes les personnes que j’ai invité à partager un repas à cet endroit qu’il soit du Québec, de la Suisse, de Cuba, de la France ou de l’Espagne ou du Mexique ont apprécié cet endroit.

“Excellent Portuguese Restaurant”

On Saturday March 7 our group of 6 went to Solmar for supper. The food was excellent & best ever. We had tapas to start with. Samplers of their tapas menu were brought & we thoroughly enjoyed them. Then we had the Arroz de Mariscos. Excellent. The service was top notch & the location cannot be beat. The old port of Montreal is always a beautiful place to go to. Then we had the typical Portuguese dessert of Pasteis di Natas & strawberries in porto.

Delicious!
