Review Summary

Porto Mar Restaurant serves authentic Portuguese cuisine in a warm, relaxed setting in old Montreal, with friendly and attentive staff and a welcoming vibe that makes guests feel at home. The menu shines with seafood offerings like grilled octopus, turbo fish, sardines and cod croquettes, plus a flavorful seafood rice, all described as delicious and well prepared, and the house wine adds to the enjoyable dining experience. The ambiance blends charming decor with Portuguese music, quiet enough for conversation, and the location turns a visit into a memorable occasion whether for a casual night out or a special gathering; the service is consistently praised and patrons often say they will return.

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!

We enjoyed one of the best meals on our 10 day trip through Montreal & Quebec City at Porto Mar. The three course prix fixe meal was the perfect balance with the Portuguese fisherman's stew being an absolute highlight. We also had an excellent Portuguese wine that was recommended by our server since we love Chardonnay & we had difficulty finding that on most Canadian menus or even in liquor stores. Porto Mar has a charming ambiance in old Montreal just off the busy St. Paul street & feel confident in recommending this restaurant.

This is the best Portuguese restaurant in Montreal. All the plates are so good that it is hard to pick only one. Had the portuguese soup & the fish of the day which was cod & it melted in the mouth. The mix of flavors are exquisite & the portions just right. Dessert was excellent as well. Kudos to the cooks & the staff know how to make you feel at home. I highly recommend this place.

La morue & les crevettes étaient savoureuses. Nous avons accompagné nos plats avec un vin blanc portugais délicieux aux notes de miel & d'agrumes. Le service fût excellent avec de petites délicatesses & attentions tout au long du repas. Un voyage au Portugal dans le Vieux Montréal.
