“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!

Un autre restaurant de type portugais cette semaine. C'était ma 4e fois à vie dans ce restaurant. Un endroit où la nourriture est fraîche & de bon plat à manger. Le prix comme un nombre de restaurant sont un peu trop élevé. Adorer en général les fruits de mer manger. J'étais avec CC75 (vieille connaissance) & elle voulait vraiment essayer ce resto qu'elle a aimé beaucoup plus que moi. Un endroit à découvrir, mais environs une fois au deux-trois ans pour l'endroit ou les prix des vins & certains repas sont élevés. Le service fût assez excellent sur toute la ligne.

Wonderful, wonderful experience. My husband & I visited there from Vermont last night & we had a truly great meal at Solmar. The staff was very nice, helpful, & friendly. The place was very nice, with white tablecloths & lovely blue & white peasant motif dishes. The live Portuguese music gave a good atmosphere, & the food was fresh & delicious. They started off by bringing us a basket of mixed very nice, very fresh breads, & a small bowl of really tasty olives. We ordered gazpacho to start us off. It was very nicely prepared & tasted as good as the best gazpacho I have ever eaten. I also had some oysters on the half shell, which were freshly shucked & very nice. For our main course, my husband ordered the shrimp in wine & cream sauce & I had the grilled squid. Both were beautifully prepared, nicely presented & very fresh & delicious. For dessert, my husband had a really fine tasting portuguese creme brulee & I ordered the Torta de Laranja, which is a very delicate cake, bathed in a to-die-for orange sauce. I must confess, it took all my self-control to keep from licking my plate... We don't care for alcohol, so we opted for a bottle of Portuguese mineral water called Pedra, which was very nice. All-in-all our meal came to C$ 105.00 plus tip. We consider it to be money well spent & plan to return again sometime soon. We recommend the Solmar very highly for its food, the excellent staff, the cleanliness & the great atmosphere. The service is a bit slow, but the leisure time spent waiting can be very pleasant if you are in good company.
