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.

3 sur 5 c'est un peu plus que 50% & c'est exactement ce que je pense de ce restaurant. Sortir au restaurant c'est sortir de l'ordinaire. La cuisine de Porto Mar est correcte sans plus & ne m'a pas fait voyager. Ce que j'attend d'un restaurant c'est justement sortir de l'ordinaire.

The food was good, good choices on the table d'hôte menu. Our waiter was very nice & also offered to change our dessert included. However, service was very slow! It took 45 min to receive our appetizers & an hour between this dish & our mains! For this reason, I would think twice before returning.

The food is simply cooked & presented, letting the flavours come out. Wine list is small but has something for everyone. Staff were not too overly pushy or bothersome.
All in all a gem in the Old Port, not to me missed

I had the shrimp my Wife had the Swordfish. Both were awesome!
We opted for Monte Cristo specially coffees for dessert & were not disappointed with our choice.
