You MUST visit this restaurant! We recently visited in mid May & had a lovely table by the front window. Absolutely delicious & authentic Portuguese food: all five of our entrees were excellent, including the soup & escargot, & my sister is still dreaming of the shrimp dish! Loved the décor, ambiance & beauty of this historic building. Antonio was extremely personable & our waiter was exceptional. Highly recommend this venue for the food, the staff & the restaurant itself, we will definitely be back when we return to Old Montreal!! Thank you both for a delicious meal & very memorable evening!
