A unique & perfect experience. Great food & one of the best priced meals we had in the area on our trip. Highly recommend which does not come easily from me.
The food was excellent & so was the service. Very nice, quiet, low-key ambiance for a relaxing & enjoyable dinner with my wife. Thank you! Highly recommended.
We went for lunch & ordered special of the day & calamari. Both were very good & dessert at the end was so delicious too. Highly recommend. Service was very nice as well.

We celebrated my dad's birthday here last night & absolutely loved it! Delicious Portuguese food with very generous portions & excellent service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Old Town Montreal!
Excellent seafood, cooked to our request. Perfect, quiet tasteful ambience. Excellent service. Highly recommend for a relaxing dining experience a little away from the tourist haunts.
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!
Highly recommend this restaurant, we booked because the places in the old town seemed very busy but Porto Mar was a haven of good food & excellent service. We had the set menus, lots of choice we chose fish... sardines, cod & creme brûlee to finish, all delicious & good value
