Review Summary

Chez Doval feels like a warm, authentic Portuguese spot where seafood and charcoal grilled dishes shine, with grilled sardines and lamb chops drawing praise and generous portions at good value. The menu celebrates classic Portuguese favorites such as carne de porco a alentejana and a variety of seafood, and the friendly staff create a welcoming, lively vibe that many describe as relaxed and convivial. The wine list is solid and the occasional Porto shot adds a nice touch, complementing simple, flavorful preparations that emphasize quality over fuss. Diners appreciate the unpretentious atmosphere, reliable service, and the sense of tradition that comes through in both the food and the hospitality, making it a favorite for casual lunches and dinners alike.

We were two & went for lunch, everything was good, the restaurant felt authentic with a good selection of plates. The waiters were nice & the prices were good. I really appreciated the little European restaurant vibe which is refreshing. I cannot remember the name of the dish I tried, but I will visit again soon because it was delicious & I'm curious about other meal that seemed interesting.

I have traveled to Portugal, & omg, this restaurant has definitely the best Portuguese food you will find in Montréal! Fresh, delicious, & authentic, you will not be disappointed. First, they serve bread & olives on the table at your arrival, then the menu is rich in authentic plates of chicken & fresh seafood, & don't forget to order a pasteis de nata for dessert with their rich coffee. The staff is extremely professional, welcoming, & helpful. The restaurant itself feels very intimate, & there is a vintage thing about the decor & layouts that remind you of an old family owned European restaurant. All in all, amazing food, great people, nice place, I highly recommend !

Sardines & octopus are absolutely amazing! The chicken is also very good! Personally, this is the best Portuguese restaurant in town. The waiter Avelino consistently goes above & beyond to provide top-notch service, & the two very friendly owners make you feel like you're part of the family. The cozy ambiance & authentic Portuguese decor transport you right to Portugal. The extensive wine selection perfectly complements the delicious dishes. Keep up the excellent work, guys. You've created a true culinary gem!
