We had an absolutely amazing dining experience-truly beyond expectations!

Chef Louis's catch of the day & seafood risotto were incredibly delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. My child enjoyed the meal so much & left completely satisfied!

Alex made the evening even more memorable. He was warm, cheerful, & full of great recommendations. His sense of humor & engaging personality made the whole dinner feel relaxed & joyful.

A seamless blend of thoughtful cuisine & impeccable service-truly a place worth returning to.

Went here last night in the Old Port & had such a great experience at Porto Mar. You need to check them out ASAP!

Our server Alex was super chill & attentive, & one of the owners, Melanie, came by & was incredibly kind. We even got the chance to speak with the chef, which made the whole experience feel really personal.

Food-wise, everything was fresh & full of flavor. The spicy shrimp were a standout so delicious, I'd go back just for those. I had the turbot (yes, it's a real fish 😂) & it was cooked perfectly. The potatoes on the side were also amazing.

We also had a seafood medley with rice (loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, salmon, cod basically everything) & it was super saucy & satisfying.

Drinks were on point too loved my old fashioned.

To finish, we had a porto-braised pear with ice cream & it was honestly the perfect dessert.

Beautiful location, especially if you can grab a window seat. Definitely a spot we'll be going back to.

We had a lovely dinner tonight! Service was incredible. Sarina, our server was great! Spot on when describing the house wines, cod croquettes & dinner menu. Building was beautiful, food cooked perfectly! We had the piri piri shrimp/calamari & salmon. Both large portions & great flavours. Atmosphere was lovely: a quiet & charming building in old port. Thank you again Sarina, we had a great time!

We've dined at Porto Mar twice while visiting our daughter in Montreal. Each time we were treated to outstanding service in a beautiful welcoming old world restaurant. We like to relax during dinner & go slow. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious ,my husband loved his sardines. The option of ordering a complete meal is unusual these days. This has become a special place for us!
