Uma verdadeira experiência portuguesa em Montreal! A comida estava fantástica, com destaque para o arroz de marisco, que estava super saboroso. O ambiente é acolhedor e o serviço fez-nos sentir em casa. Ótima carta de vinhos também. Recomendo vivamente a quem procura sabores autênticos, 5 estrelas!'
2025 EDIT
Adding a star . Went back with a much greater service !
-------
Seems it was affected by Covid & they had to cutback . Went back after maybe 4- years :
Smaller portions , I had a dead mussel that tasted like manure, Waiter keep complaining about being annoyed with this job . Had a great experience the 3 times I went before that though
Amazing food, service & hospitality in this little corner of Portugal in Montréal! I'm originally from Montréal but moved permanently to Portugal. Douro is the favourite restaurant of my family members in Montréal. My first time at Douro Restaurant was 10 years ago & it's still a must-go every time I visit the city. They have a great menu & selection of top Portuguese wines. Our recent family lunch was once again delicious… tomato & fresh cheese salad, mackerel, sea bass, paelha, creme caramel, leite creme & pears poached in Port wine. It's good to see a Portuguese restaurant done so well outside of Portugal.

Super belle expérience. D'abord un service chaleureux, sympathique & attentionné. Mais surtout une bouffe savoureuse. On a essayé les croquettes de morue, le chouriço & le calmar grillé & tout était parfait. Je l'ajoute à mes favoris & j'y reviendrai avec plaisir!
Couldn't have been a more pleasurable evening. We were taken charge by the maître D from start to finish. All that was served was a pure delight & oh so delicious. Great experience indeed. Will be returning for sure.

Outstanding food, excellent service, remarkable value. We (two people) shared a table d'hôte & were impressed by the generous portions & how they split the food for us in the kitchen. Highly recommended!
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. From the very professional staff to great vibe & ambiance. Great menu, love the tapas & the bread & soft cheese / olives served before the meal. the attention to details very appreciated !
