Les avis sur Mare Porto Vecchio dessinent une expérience globale en balance entre cadre élégant, service attentif et cuisine italienne soignée, avec de nombreux retours positifs sur la présentation des plats, le soin apporté à chaque assiette et des cocktails et vins qui plaisent; certains soulignent une ambiance raffinée et une atmosphère conviviale qui peut varier entre intimité et élégance. Le service est fréquemment salué pour son professionnalisme et sa chaleur, même s'il arrive que les heures d'attente ou la coordination ne soient pas parfaites, et les commentaires sur le rapport qualité-prix évoquent des portions parfois modestes ou des plats qui manquent d'assaisonnement ou de cuisson idéale. Quelques visiteurs estiment que certains plats servent des produits frais et bien exécutés tandis que d'autres évoquent des expériences moins réussies, notamment lorsque les poissons ou fruits de mer ne sont pas à la hauteur. Dans l'ensemble, Mare Porto Vecchio demeure une adresse recommandée pour l'expérience globale, le décor et le service, mais il faut garder à l'esprit que les résultats culinaires peuvent varier selon la visite.
Came for my first year anniversary & was welcomed by your hostess Sabrine who's absolutely wonderful. She even took the time to explain a bit the menu & tell me her favorite items. I can't wait to come back!
Let's start out with on a positive note. The restaurant is beautiful, feels expensive & it is. The squid ink pasta was ok (slightly overcooked) & the bread selection was lovely. The martinis were also very good. Great wine selection, the Burgundy chablis we ordered was wonderful.
Now the truth about the food
The food was subpar at best. From start to finish, It was either missing salt, too salty, overcooked & topped with gritty clams. I actually returned my cod in aqua pazza because it was loaded with clam grit. Everyone at my table for 10 was very disappointed with their meal & I left hungry after paying almost $400 per couple.
The service was ok, they did their jobs, but obviously not trained for a fine dining establishment, arriving a few dishes at a time all while asking who ordered what when they had taken the order 30 min earlier. It is not a pizza joint, train your personnel.

A true gem in the Old Port. Designed with class, & a beautiful atmosphere. We were greeted by an excellent waiter (Andy) his smile, his experience, so professional & he guided us throughout the evening. Thank you Andy . The presentation & flavours of each dish was just mind blowing . Definitely returning to Mare .
We had an impeccable dinner tonight! The food was delicious & the service was top-notch! We were well taken care of by Andy. Definitely one of my fav restos on MTL now! Will come back to try the rest of the menu!
One of my new go-to spots for dinner in the city. From A to Z everything was incredible, & finally a place that cooks their pasta'al dente' as it should be! So nice to not worry about parking too.
Don't sleep on the lunch!

There were four of us in a lovely room with many empty seats. We chose the three course menu. Service was gracious & helpful. It was not inexpensive but gave great value.

Wow!!! It just keeps getting better. I've been to Mare several times since its opening 3 months ago. From the very beginning I was impressed by EVERYTHING. Taking in consideration it just opened, the food, the service, the ambiance was always great!!! But last night!!??? It was an experience of its own. The presentation of the plates & attention to details are just incredible. I mean it was from the very beginning but it just keeps getting better. The chef owner that comes out & oversees every table in between plating the plates in the kitchen brings a personalized unique touch. There's such a thing of eating with your eyes. These plates were gorgeous & even better tasting. This is my first review of the place after 9 or 10 times there. I just never took the time to do it. After last might???!! Im blown away. P.s I had a restaurant for 4 years & worked in the restaurant business for 20 years. Mare is just next level. Salute!
This place was truly spectacular. Went for an anniversary dinner & everything from the greeting at the door to the last morsel of dessert was outstanding. The Branzino tartare & the chocolate tart are a must try!
Service impeccable! C'est exactement à ça qu'on s'attend quand on choisit d'aller dans un bon restaurant. Honnêtement, je finissais une gorgée d'eau & mon verre était déjà rempli de nouveau. Les assiettes étaient débarrassées rapidement, les petites attentions étaient constantes & discrètes. Tout était fluide & professionnel. Franchement, c'était très bon service du début à la fin.
S'ils continuent dans cette direction, ils vont assurément recevoir d'excellentes notes, car l'expérience fut à la hauteur des attentes. Bravo à toute l'équipe! 👏
