Bem-vindos a Viana! Antonio et Celeste Da Costa d'un petit village du nord du Portugal, ont été inspirés par l'idée de traverser l'océan pour créer une vie meilleure pour eux et leurs enfants. Ils ont immigré au Canada en 1978 et se sont installés dans l'arrondissement de Lasalle au début des années 1980. En 1984, leur fils, Carlos Costa, a commencé à travailler dans un établissement réputé de Montréal, Jano Grillades. Il a travaillé pendant près de 30 ans et a acquis une connaissance profonde de la cuisine portugaise. Carlos et son fils Fabio partageaient une passion pour le travail acharné et l'industrie de la restauration. Avec l'aide et le soutien de sa femme Ines et de sa fille Vanessa, ils ont décidé en famille de se lancer dans un projet de passion qui leur permettrait de réaliser un rêve. En tant que fiers Luso-Canadiens, Fabio et Vanessa ont été inspirés par la ville natale de leur père, Viana do Castelo, où ils passaient leurs vacances chaque été. Viana est un hommage à leur patrimoine, et un lieu où ils peuvent partager et multiplier l'amour qu'ils ont pour leur culture. Obrigado!
Les avis convergent sur une nourriture portugaise authentique avec des portions généreuses et un poulet grillé tendre relevé par des sauces maison savoureuses, typique de Viana Grillades Portugaises. Le rapport qualité-prix est apprécié et l'ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale ajoute à l'expérience, avec une décoration simple mais charmante. Le service est souvent loué pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité, le personnel accueillant et attentif facilitant les repas sur place ou à emporter. La constance de la qualité et des portions est soulignée, faisant de Viana Grillades Portugaises une valeur sûre pour manger portugais dans le quartier, que ce soit pour dîner ou takeout. Certains reprochent toutefois un niveau sonore élevé et des soucis de ventilation, et il y a eu des remarques sur des aspects de gestion comme les programmes de fidélité et des plats arrivant tièdes. Dans l'ensemble, Viana Grillades Portugaises est perçue comme un petit bijou à Lasalle et beaucoup disent qu'ils reviendront.
Chicken is so good & tender. my chicken sandwich was unreal it was so good & the fries are so good I didn't even need sauce with them. Such a cool experience & beautiful atmosphere. Best Portuguese restaurant in Montreal. Super friendly staff & very nice place over all.

Found this restaurant on a search for takeout portugese chicken. At the dinner party I provided the chicken & it was a hit. We all loved it. I asked for the mild spice & it was perfect. I will definitely be going back again. I also ordered a small salad for one person. It was nice fresh & crisp lettuce & vegetables. Not a soggy old brown salad that many other restaurants provide on take out.
Nous avons esssayé Viana ce midi, tout ce que nous avons mangé était très savoureux, les quantités bien suffisantes !
L'accueil a été très sympathique, nous avons été conquis par ce repas pour emporter !

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.
Incredible food & experience. Friendly staff, owner was extremely kind. The debate between Italian & Portuguese cuisine rages on, but I believe that Viana proves some valid points for their side 😉
Such a cute place! I stumbled upon Viana when searching for coffee (not a cafe btw but still left with a coffee🥳). The staff were amazing & super friendly. Great vibe & cozy atmosphere. Their Pastel de Natas were delicious 🥰 Excited to go back in the next couple of weeks to check it out for dinner!

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!
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.
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!
