A truly memorable meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Great food, friendly service & unique cuisine. In contrast to other restaurants in the area, the noise level was low, making conversation easy against a background of pleasant Portuguese music.
Very good find - I've had cod croquettes, salmon with potatoes & grilled vegetables & caramel flan. Food was delicious! It was also a few mins away by foot from our hotel in Old Town which helped.
If I'm back in Montreal, I'll return!
Le meilleur restaurant portugais de la ville dans le quartier du vieux Montréal. Plats authentiques préparés avec goût, service impeccable & ambiance calme avec du fado en fond sonore. Excellente carte de vins portugais. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.
Was our first time at this restaurant & we will definitely return. The food was delicious & so fresh. The waitress was very friendly & the atmosphere was relaxing. The music was nice background music & not the loud music so often seen lately at restaurants. They also had a good variety of Portuguese wines. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
We walked in off the street just to have a cocktail & were greeted by two very charming bartenders, a young woman & gentleman. Made delicious cocktails, served up some olives, & had a nice conversation with the bar patrons & employees.
All the dishes served with same veg & potato, which seems strange. Half our meals were perfectly seasoned & delicious. The other half tasted like they had no seasoning at all.
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.
We had a grand time at Porto Mar. Started with a Porto Tonico, had the cod fritters, the seafood rice & finished it off with flan & a frozen lemon dessert. We loved everything, but we particularly enjoyed the seafood rice as it featured a nice mix of fish & seafood.
I think it was a very good experience. The food was very delicious. The six of us, including wine & dessert, spent a total of $375, which is really a good deal. I will patronize it again next time I come to Montreal.
