Wonderful find! Friendly & welcoming staff. Food was delicious. We had the grilled octopus & the turbo fish. Both were very tasty & the grilled sardines were delicious. Great house wine too. We will be back! Obrigado!

5 little grilled shrimp around a stack of rice for $34 bucks, eh. The balsamic snails were good, but the grilled sardines were a little fishy & we left hungry. Nice ambiance & service though. From what I hear, family owned.

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!

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.

A veritable institution for Portuguese cuisine in Old Montreal, Porto Mar offers all the classics you'd expect. The setting is in keeping with those original stone-brick buildings accented with wood trim offering a somewhat somber moody atmosphere. All very historic! Given the configuration of the room, there are several seats at the front with large windows facing d'Youville street & then a cozy similar sized section in the back (itself divided into two by a walkthrough zone) deep into the brick & old wood look. For our meal we opted for the table d'hote...We started with the Caldo Verde Soup (very good but could have been a bit more flavorful) & the Mixed Salad (it was a mixed salad). For our mains we had the Grilled Half Chicken (very moist & tender meat) & the Fish of the Day - Cod (also very good) with a small serving of potatoes & vegetables on the side. Dessert was a traditional & very good Creme Caramel (Flan) & the Chocolate Mousse (good). Service was friendly & helpful with the meal being served promptly. Enjoy!

I have tried a variety of dishes: calamari, shrimps, & grilled sardines. The sardines weren't fresh enough unfortunately. Which is a risk to take & I was informed that they do not arrive frozen. Small fish is hard to store fresh & taste good only of served on the first 2-3 days after caught. So this one is on me. Calamari was a bit rubbery too. I do need to speak highly of the service though: polite, attentive, & friendly.

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 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!

I really like Porto Mar, especially for the grilled chicken. It is among the best in Montreal & does not come drowned in a sauce that most other restaurants use. The service is excellent & the salads are also. I had grilled sardines as an appetizer & while they were quite good, the one thing I did not like is that they arrived with their heads on. I'd come back here often as I really like the food & ambiance.

I had the grilled meats. Excellent! Service was courteous & just right; not rushed & not slow. Good selection of Portuguese wines. Will definitely go back.
