Info & Location
Bem-vindos a Viana! Antonio & Celeste Da Costa from a small village in Northern Portugal, were inspired by the idea of crossing the ocean to create a better life for themselves and their children. They immigrated to Canada in 1978 and settled in Lasalle borough in the early 1980s. In 1984 their son, Carlos Costa began working at one of Montreal's finest landmarks, Jano Grillades. He worked there for close to 30 years and acquired deeply rooted knowledge of Portuguese cuisine. Carlos and his son Fabio shared a passion for hard work and the food service industry. Along with the help and support of his wife Ines and daughter Vanessa, they decided as a family that they would embark on a passion project which would allow them to fulfill a lifelong dream. As proud Luso-Canadians, Fabio and Vanessa were inspired by their father's hometown Viana do Castelo, where they vacationed every summer. Viana is an homage to their heritage, and a place where they are able to share and multiply the love they have for their culture. Obrigado!

I've passed by this place a few times but then I decided to check it out. Hidden inside a strip mall away from the main commercial arteries, it's easy to miss.
Named after the owner Fabio's hometown of Viana, picturesque photos of which add to the lively decor, it has an impressive menu of authentic Portuguese-style food served by friendly staff.
I opted for a large format Portuguese poutine, non-spicy. Let me tell you, it was a big heaping big bowl filled with crispy fries (a little on the salty side), cheese curds, tender grilled chicken & pork, gravy & their signature spicy sauce topped with a sprinkling of dry parsley.
It was tasty & quite filling.
The other menu items I've tried are the Portuguese fried whole chicken ($15.00 if ordered from their carry out only menu, but no fries & no eating it on the premises) & the half chicken from their sit down menu, with fries & salad.
They've also recently issued a loyalty card.
Definitely worth the visit.
That was six years ago, now I'm not so sure. Two years ago I was shocked to find out that the owner had committed suicide & frankly it just isn't the same without him.
I visited again recently & the new owners have kept Fabio's photograph (the other family heirlooms are gone) & have added a donation jar to Suicide Action Montreal which I found to be a nice touch.
What I did not find nice was them cancelling the loyalty card. Discontinuing the program is one thing, but refusing to honor the loyalty cards of loyal customers whose patronage made the business what it is I find to be insulting.
On top of that, on my last visit I decided to attend a special tasting to support local businesses & ordered their six tiny tacos which came to $48.00 each, plus tax of course. This was a bit over budget & when I didn't leave a tip, the new owner called me on it said that we tip our employees.
He basically called me a thief.
Well, you may have saved yourself the cost of a chorizo sandwich but you've now lost a customer.View more

We just tripped upon this restaurant through a general search. What a lucky find. The food was outstanding. Fresh, flavourful & hot! The staff was beyond lovely & friendly & service is very important to them. I will be back & will tell everyone I know about this treasure in Lasalle. Bravo Andy & Fernanda. You have done a great job here!

J'ai pris une petite poutine portugaise à 17$ & malheureusement le poulet était froid & le chorizo aussi étais froid donc sa a vite rendu la poutine tiède & je n'ai pas aimer le goût de la sauce & du chorizo..
La serveuse étais très gentilleView more

Ambiance :
Le restaurant est petit mais accueillant, avec une atmosphère conviviale qui rappelle les tascas portugaises. Idéal pour un repas en famille, entre amis ou même à emporter. La propreté des lieux & la décoration simple mais chaleureuse contribuent à une expérience agréable.
Une adresse incontournable à LaSalle pour les amateurs de cuisine portugaise authentique. Je recommande vivement & j'y retournerai sans hésiter !View more

Have ordered takeout chicken dinners from this place twice now & boy is it tasty. All of the people at the party that I was hosting were like where is his chicken from & I proudly told them from this awesome little place right near my house. Looking forward to trying some of your other dishes & dining in also!View more
