Review Summary

Reviews consistently describe Mare Porto Vecchio as a stylish, elegant spot with top notch food and service in the Old Port, where cocktails and seafood shine and pasta dishes like cappelletti and tagliolini are loved for being creamy yet balanced. The dining experience is praised for attentive, professional service and a warm, refined atmosphere, though a small number of guests note issues with price, portion size, or occasional inconsistencies in timing or flavor. Overall, visitors leave impressed by the quality, presentation, and hospitality and many say they would return to explore more of the menu, even as a few describe moments where the energy or pacing could vary.

Truly excellent experience! Beautifully crafted dishes, refined flavors, & top-quality ingredients. Impeccable service: attentive & professional. A special thanks to Bruno for his recommendations on both the dishes & wine pairings, which made the dinner even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Very expensive, & poor food quality. Everything (filet mignon, pasta, etc) was way too salty, barely edible. The tuna tartare appetizer was good but barely three bites. The place is nice though & service professional.

There's way better in Montreal & old port.

Really phenomenal. High quality food. Amazing service. Waiters so transparent about what would be enough food for two. We Left & already made new reservations to bring friends. Really a truly fantastic experience.

Classic, timeless décor paired with excellent service.

Mare delivered delicious dishes, with an attentive staff & top-quality ingredients. The Focaccia was unforgettable: crisp at the edges, soft & airy at the center. Easily one of the best ones I've had in Montreal. Our personal favourites dishes were the Branzino Crudo - a fantastic white fish crudo with pistachio for crunch, a touch of chile, & creamy ricotta & the Tagliolini - a rich, velvety pasta enriched by aged Parmigiano & caviar. The Polpo was cooked beautifully, though the accompanying potatoes didn't quite elevate the dish & were a bit under-seasoned.

Overall, it was a fantastic evening. The service alone would make me return.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in my lifetime. The flavors are bold, & the quality of the ingredients are unmatched. You truly feel like you're transported to Italy. Our service was top notch, & Andy & Juan made our night exceptional. The shellfish tower was curated with precision, & the fish was fresh. The Paccheri & Branzino were some other stand out dishes of the night. Also, the bread board that came around paired with the olive oil gave it an extra touch. Will be returning next time we're in MTL!
