About

Casa Solmar specializes in authentic Portuguese preparations characterized by flame-grilled seafood and an extensive selection of traditional tapas. Guests encounter a menu anchored by salt cod specialties, piri-piri seasoned proteins, and robust vegetable preparations meant for communal consumption. The culinary approach emphasizes simple, high-quality ingredients sourced to highlight the natural salinity of ocean-fresh catches. Plates arrive featuring charred textures and vibrant spice blends consistent with coastal Iberian traditions. The interior aesthetic reflects a functional maritime influence, creating a focused environment centered entirely on the distribution of shared platters. This establishment maintains a rigid commitment to regional cooking techniques, ensuring every order of calamari or grilled octopus adheres to recognized preparation standards. The configuration prioritizes efficiency, allowing diners to navigate a diverse array of small-format dishes without unnecessary elaboration or superfluous table service formalities.

Wowww! What a dinner. I loved everything from the soup to the cod. The orange dessert was also magnificent. But the service was truly the best. Our waiter also spoke Portuguese, French & English. It was a very merry Christmas & I'm so glad we came here.

Authentische, frische Gerichte, die sehr gut abgeschmeckt sind. Dazu passender Wein. Alles bestens! Da der Wein sehr teuer ist in Kanada, sind überall die Rechnungen entsprechend.

On cherchait un endroit au vieux pour prendre un apéro. La plupart des resto voisinant ne laissait rentrer que les gens qui souper. Solmar nous ont accueilli & on a terminé par prendre un apéro & des plats. Tres bonne cuisine & super service.

Service was fantastic. Food seemed overcooked & like it was reheated. However, I'd still give it another try because service & atmosphere were wonderful. There were also unique options & other things I would be willing to try.

Très bon service & bonne cuisine, pour la morue grillée à la portugaise. Bon plat mais onéreux, 40$, selon moi au vu de la simplicité du plat qui est des légumes & un morceau de poisson. Vin au verre au prix un peu excessif aussi.
