Viana Grillades Portugaises Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
PortugueseGrillSaladsBoutique-Counter
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!

Review Summary

Viana Grillades Portugaises receives widespread praise for juicy, well seasoned chicken, generous portions, and friendly, attentive service, with many reviewers calling it a standout for authentic Portuguese flavors and the house sauces, and noting a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with charming decor; some guests single out the noise from ventilation and loud music as a downside, making it less ideal for family meals, while a few takeout experiences point to occasional inconsistencies in items or changes to loyalty programs after ownership changes. Overall the reviews convey a small, unpretentious spot that delivers satisfying, solid Portuguese fare at good value, with dishes ranging from the beloved chicken and chorizo to cod, poutine, and pastéis de nata, and multiple mentions of wanting to return for both dine-in and takeout.

We were in the area & wanted to eat a lunch that we wouldn't feel guilty about. I ordered the half chicken & it was pretty much perfect. The spicy sauce is very flavorful, not just hot. My wife had the chorizo & it was great too. I highly recommend Viana & will be going back soon.

Stumbled upon this gem a couple of days ago while eating next door.

We decided to give it a shot & I couldn't have been more impressed. The owner, Andy, was there & you can instantly feel the love he's poured into the place. He's created an atmosphere that feels like home-with a warm, family vibe that makes dining here extra special.

We sampled a bunch of dishes recommended by friends, & also the staff, & every single bite was a win. Honestly, we were blown away!

If you're looking for a cozy spot with incredible food & that welcoming, family-style touch-you have to check this place out. Highly recommend!

This was a beautiful & cozy atmosphere that had a great vibe for families to enjoy a meal, or for friends to grab a drink & chill. The chicken is cooked fresh with traditional flavours & very tasty sauce. Highly recommended to not just grab a meal here, but to also hang out & vibe in the ambiance.

I had some friends raving about this restaurant so I had to try it for myself. I went there around 7:30 the other night & was welcomed with open arms by the friendly staff. The decor was nice & very welcoming as well as the comfortable seating. I ended up meeting the owner Andy from my friend & I gotta say what a nice & overall genuine guy from the second you interact with him. Soon after the food started to come out & OMG, first plater & every single one afterwards was out of this world delicious! See for yourself in the pictures how the food comes to life & presentation was beautiful! Everything was served fresh, tasty & the meat was so unbelievably juicy that I had to refrain myself from licking my fingers at the table lol. We had some special items for that night but it was truly an unforgettable dining experience. The meat was cooked to perfection! The lamb & steak blew my mind & made me go back for seconds & a third serving too! The rice & salad mix was equally good & gobbled up in an instant. Spices were balanced just right & not overpowering. Staff was helpful & super nice & did not ignore you like most of the other restaurants, which in this case, made my first experience here even better! I can go on & on about how great it was but you will need to go see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely keep going & already planning my next visit for next week to indulge in another mouth watering feast. Authentic Portuguese food at its finest & I rate it a 10 on 10. You need to try it for yourself 😃 Like & follow me for more honest reviews 👍

Their menu offers a variety of mouthwatering options that never disappoint. What truly sets Viana apart is their exceptional customer service-everyone is incredibly welcoming & sweet. Each visit is a culinary delight, with flavorful dishes that showcase their skill & dedication. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, perfect for enjoying a delicious meal with friends or family. Thank you, Viana, for consistently delivering such wonderful dining experiences. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates great food served with warmth, genuine hospitality, & the greatest natas!! Miss seeing Fabio! 🩵

Althought I didn't find it as spicy as I wanted to be, the chicken is really tender & you can really taste the freshness. (idk if that makes sense but it's a way of saying it's delicious & i will come back again) Thankfully, the spicy sauce still adds the flavour i like in a chicken. Great for students from the college near by the restaurant to take a quick lunch during their break time. Also I highly HIGHLY recommend their dessert Pastel del Nata. Truly delightful ✨ edit: after checking some reviews, I noticed that I tried this restaurant in the period of the newest adminsitration, so perhaps the experience may vary for new & old customers.

Came here with my sister's family from out of town cuz they were one of the few places in the area with good reviews .100% what I had expected! Did not disappoint at all.
The service was great & our waitress was super sweet.very knowledgeable & patient,because we could not make our minds, so definitely hands down on that.
She suggested a couple of items & we decided to take her suggestions & I'm glad we did.
The hospitality was wonderful & our waitress keep coming to check up on us
I highly recommend a visit to this great place.
