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.

I have been going to chez Doval since the 1990's. & I introduced my family & they loved it.
Problem has arisen in the past year. One of the owners is very charming & welcome & hospitable, The other one has made myself & my family feel unwelcome.
The three last times we came this summer 2025, each occasion , had a negative experience , completely due to the owner Carlos, Making snide remarks & making a bad joke about his partner being dead when I asked, his partner was not dead but off on that day.
Too bad.I like the place food is decent.It's not a pretentious place but due to the owner , I will never step food in that restaurant again

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 !

Have been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years & still love it. Serving delicious Portuguese grilled chicken, lamb, fish & steak cooked in a large brick oven that you can see if you sit on the rustic & boisterous side (good for groups). If you want an experience with softer lighting & white table clothes, there is a quieter side fit for a romantic dinner for two or family/friends who want to enjoy a quieter conversation. Prices are still very reasonable, for our inflationary times. For that alone, it merits 5 stars!

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!

Local portuguese food in a typical family owned restaurant. Ambiance & service was great, & food very tasty. The pork & clams dish would have been better with more potatoes & a bit less meat though. You can really feel the Portuguese vibe as if you were travelling to the country.
