The Restaurant manager Caroline was kind & welcoming in-spite of I was not the customer on that day. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Will recommend this restaurant & will make this as my business dinner spot.

Thank you Caroline!

What an incredible meal we had with my party there. While there was a slight misunderstanding with our waiter, we had the most flavorful & varied food. Each bite made me travel straight back to Portugal, which was exactly what I needed for my birthday!

I couldn't recommend more this spot - & the seafood rice. It comes in a gorgeous Le Creuset Pot & tastes just like Portugal.

A must for Portuguese seafood.
Service atmosphere & food were all amazing. Fresh fish on ice to choose from & the specials were perfection - lobster pasta with cherry tomatoes & a lightly spicy sauce & scallop ceviche with coconut cream were as good if not better than they sound.
We also tried the roasted sardines on cornbread starter & the black cod with porcini & truffle crust - which are 2 of the specialties & they were everything promised.
We wrapped with the triple dessert - tarts, cheesecake & chocolate mousse with lemon ice cream, olive oil & salt.
I cant really say enough about the service, either. Patient & shared context about every dish with a smile & desire to please.
We stumbled on this gem but the guests next to us told us they'd researched it & came because of the reviews.

The hardest part is not going 2 nights in a row before we leave, knowing there are so many other treasures in Montreal.

I had the privilege of attending a private dinner upstairs at this Montréal institution, & it was a wonderful reminder of why it has earned its legendary reputation. Every detail, from the cuisine to the service, was executed flawlessly. This is a restaurant that never misses a beat, consistently delivering an exceptional experience. A true icon that continues to set the standard for fine dining in Montréal.

We absolutely loved it, fantastic!! No surprise its Michelin guide recommended - it was so very good. We had the presunto pata negra & sardine appetizers. Then everyone of our meals were outstanding which we ultimately shared as a family of 4. Our top favorite, the Octopus lagareiro, cod, & rice with seafood. Our kids were over the moon loving it. We've been to Portugal, New England, NJ & have tried many pasties de nata. Get this dessert & get the cheesecake - you will thank us later - amazing!!

I dined solo on a Monday night. It was busy. The vibe was energetic & the service appropriate for this type of restaurant & considering the number of guests. I wasn't impressed by the sardines as I thought I would be. The bouillabaisse was excellent: fresh ingredients, well balanced broth & hot, as I like it. The portion was just right. I would eat it again. Providing fresh bread would match the quality of the dish.

A lot of options in Montreal for the price point (110 for the sardine, bouillabaisse & a glass of wine).

Secondo me uno dei migliori ristoranti di Montreal, prodotti eccezionali e ben curati, dispiace solo il fatto di averlo scoperto l'ultimo giorno della nostra permanenza a Montreal, il servizio è eccellente, personale attento e competente, che dire di più, BRAVI.

Other than the fact that it got too loud with music on top of a packed house, we loved our meal. We were a group of 7 & everyone loved their appetizers & meal. Consider sharing the appetizers if you are ordering main dishes. Among the dishes at our table, the bouillabaisse, seafood rice, rice with duck, king mushrooms, & octopus. All were beautiful & perfectly prepared & served. The salad with tomatoes was delicious. The tomatoes were very tasty & the mustard based dressing was perfect
