This was an amazing experience. Being the daughter of parents born in the Azores this was really authentic. Chef Luis visited our table & was an absolute pleasure. This is definitely a must.

Some of the best Portuguese food I ever had. The food & drinks are exceptional. It felt like I was eating at home. Our chef Luis went above & beyond. Selina was our server & she was incredible. If you ever come to Montreal & want good Portuguese food, Porto Mar should be on your list.

The food was good, but what really made the evening was everything else. The service was excellent: the owner & chef came by for a friendly chat, & our server, Jaiden, was kind & attentive without hovering. The atmosphere was relaxed & inviting, with tasteful Portuguese-inspired décor & music that set the tone without overwhelming conversation. We brought our son along & felt completely at ease; the place is family-friendly without being loud or chaotic. It's not overly fancy or pretentious, & the staff treat you like real people, not like you're at a formal banquet. If you're debating where to go for a relaxed family dinner, this spot is a solid choice.

Porto Mar is my home away from home. Not only is the service & ambiance TOP, the chef is a brilliant Saucier & cooks meat & fish to perfection. It's one of the cities' best kept secrets!

Beau restaurant. Serveuse impeccable : souriante, patiente, très plaisante. Le chef est sympathique aussi. Les prix sont raisonnables pour un restaurant au Vieux-Port de Montréal. Oubliez le stationnement, très difficile de trouver dans les rues. Le transport en commun est idéal. Wifi disponible. Mes Bémols : l'entrée de sardines n'est pas recommandée, goût amer, impossible de manger avec les arrêtes, elles sont dures. Les entrées de croquettes de saumons & chorizo grillé sont excellents. Je n'ai pas apprécié l'assiette de calmars & crevettes piri piri. La peau des calmars sont élastiques, difficile à mâcher. Si je retourne, c'est pour le service exceptionnel.

Delicious! We had some allergies & picky eaters in our group & they went above & beyond to take care of our concerns. The chef even came to check on us & our food. The food was amazing as was the brick walls.

Been here a few times & the service & atmosphere were great, staff is very friendly. Only thing was that the chef rarely wore a hat & he often seemed really out of it or disoriented even though it wasnt that busy.
