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.

I had an incredible dining experience ! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm & inviting, with a perfect blend of cozy & chic. The staff were attentive & friendly, providing top-notch service throughout the meal. A special shout-out to our server, Jeremy, who did an amazing job even though it was his first day! He was professional, personable, & made sure our dining experience was flawless. The menu was diverse, offering a great selection of dishes, each one beautifully presented. I tried the Lamb Rack, & it was absolutely delicious-bursting with fresh flavours & cooked to perfection. The grilled octopus also stood out as a unique & flavourful option. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, ambiance, & exceptional service!"

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.

An old school fine dining Portuguese restaurant. The attention to detail & service throughout the dining experience are hard to find now. This has been one of my regular stops when visiting Montreal for a long time.
