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.

We ordered the main meals only as we were starving, & it was pretty decent. We had the salmon & shrimp combo with a lemon infused rice & grilled vegetables & another had the seafood with rice. There was no seating for 4 outside, but their indoor dining room is very charming & cozy. They had one waiter serving the whole room, so it was a bit of a wait for these hungry customers but not overly long. We scoffed down the fresh bread, which would haveceven been better a little bit warm. Our food came fairly quick & the total bill wasn't too bad (we didn't order drinks or appetizers). We came here after the Aura show at Notre Dame Bascilica. Overall, a good restaurant.

Great Portugeuse/French restaurant in old Montreal. The food was delicious, I had a sur la mer style pasta & my wife had a beautifully cooked salmon & shrimp over rice. Plenty of fresh baked bread & several rounds of drinks. The service was equally good, an older gentleman got to know us a bit was a big hockey fan knowing players from our home town team from back in the 70's, lol. Stop here you won't regret it. Sadly the only photo I took was our view from the table.

Excellent food & service. Most of us had seafood & it was great in all the ways it was prepared. The waiter really made our evening even more enjoyable. The prices are not low, but normal for the area, with a seafood plate around 48-50 CAD & seafood apetizers around 18 CAD. The fish of the day was also great & it was around 40 CAD.

Agréable restaurant portugais avec terrasse sur un coin de rue animé, à 7 minutes à pied du Quai Jacques-Cartier, si vous arrivez par la navette fluviale.
Tous les serveurs étaient SUPER gentils!
Ma maman âgée a choisi les crevettes géantes non décortiquées (difficiles à manger, alors la cuisine les ont reprises pour les décortiquer!)
Le filet mignon était cuit à juste point, tel que demandé.
On a offert à ma mère une tartelette portugaise pour souligner son anniversaire!
Merci!

Wow! Our experience at Casa Solmar was amazing. We were there Saturday night, a group of 4 people & all of us loved the experience. The best seafood we've tasted in awhile, perfectly cooked & seasoned. The live performance was great as well & being in Old Montreal is perfect. We are very happy to have discovered this restaurant & we'll certainly be back again to taste more dished !
