Delicious! We had some allergies & picky eaters in our group & they went above & beyond to take care of our concerns. The chef even came to check on us & our food. The food was amazing as was the brick walls.

Service was friendly. Decor was clean but unexceptional. Calamari was luke warm, bland & limited. Grilled sardines were very good. Cod was good but unexciting. White house wine was quite acceptable. The risk of having $20 charged per person in the event of not showing for a reservation was a bit intimidating & didn't seem to be the norm with the Montreal restaurants. It was also a bit surprising as on Saturday night there were still a log of tables not occupied.

We enjoyed our visit to the Porto Mar restaurant very much. A nice quiet ambience, great service, nicely presented food & lovely staff. Can recommend it to others like us not in the first flush of youth. Best restaurant we visited in Montreal over 4 night stay.

We were three couples dining. The grilled chorizo, Portuguese soup & sardines starters were fabulous, The main courses were grilled chicken with a Piri seasoning, pork cutlets, & red sea bass were all very good. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. The servers were excellent. We will definitely return!
