What a gem we found while in old Montreal. We spent time wandering the area & decided to try this place out for lunch. We would recommend this to others. Service was amazing, food was tasty & was out in a reasonable time. Some meals came with coffee/tea & dessert.

I've been coming here weekly when visiting Montréal since last year. It is by far my overall favorite restaurant. The lunch specials are a great value featuring soup or salad, entree with potatoes & vegetables & dessert & coffee. They do magnificent work here & as a very critical reviewer this is indeed one of the best restaurants in Montreal.
Loved it! Everything, The service, the food & the fact they were so aware of my coeliac disease good attention to detail. Real hidden gem in Montreal. What a lovely evening thankyou xx
Porto Mar is one of the better places to dine in downtown Montreal. Lunch for two with wine & tip is under $100. Portions are perfectly sized & well presented. Food is good & service is excellent.
Buona alternativa ai posti canadesi, sempre difficili da inquadrare. Qui si bada alla sostanza e c'è anche una buona qualità. Menzione d'onore per le sardine grigliate, ed il merluzzo impanato.
We had a wonderful meal at Porto Mar! We got the lunch special which came with a choice of soup or salad. The entree was hearty (grilled chicken, vegetables & fries). It came with dessert. My husband enjoys the grilled sardines & my son got the beef sandwich with fries.
We had a lovely dinner tonight! Service was incredible. Sarina, our server was great! Spot on when describing the house wines, cod croquettes & dinner menu. Building was beautiful, food cooked perfectly! We had the piri piri shrimp/calamari & salmon. Both large portions & great flavours. Atmosphere was lovely: a quiet & charming building in old port. Thank you again Sarina, we had a great time!
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.
Honnêtement, j'ai été déçu pour un resto au Vieux-Port. C'était lors du weekend de la F1. Les plats ont été présenté comme quand je faisais le service lorsque j'avais 12 ans. C'était pas très agréable à voir. La bouffe, OK sans plus. Il y a eu des erreurs dans nos commandes. Aussi, je comprends le contexte économique comme quoi il est dur de trouver du personnel, mais le weekend de la F1, tu t'arrange au moins d'aider la seule serveuse qui roule le restaurant à elle-même. J'avais beaucoup d'empathie pour elle. Sinon le restaurant en tant que tel, c'est beau à l'intérieur.
