Portuguese & Italian dishes on the menu threw me off a little but the service was accommodating & it was fun guessing the cover songs that were playing.
Be aware that the paella takes about 40 minutes to prepare. The seafood rice casserole that was offered as an alternative arrived quickly & it was pretty good. Nata de ceu wasn't for me, but definitely recommend to anyone who like Maria biscuits, nice presentation too.
Sans conteste, la meilleure adresse de Montréal. Service digne d'un étoilé français, menu copieux, tout comme les plats. Cuisine raffinée jusque dans la confection des pizzas. La strachiatella & le tiramisu sont des incontournables. Un délice. Inoubliable.

Well deserved 4.7star review average, but I personally think it deserves 5star compared to other places I've been in Montreal that have the same average reviews. Great job, we'll possibly go back before we leave.

The food here is EXCELLENT! We were in town for the formula 1 race & came here afterwards with a group of 4 plus a baby (with a stroller) & they set us up perfectly. All of the staff were super friendly & the food was some of the best I've ever had!
I really enjoyed this restaurant just off of Blvd St. Laurent. The menu is extensive, the homemade pasta is amazing & the Portuguese chicken is an incredible deal! I was in Montreal for 4 nights & ate dinner here for twice!
The seafood was good. The piri piri chicken & fries were very mid. Drinks were pretty good but avoid their Caesars. Restaurant was very empty with so many servers & the service was non existent. Had to ask for a fork twice before I got one.
Wow , quelle expérience culinaire. J ai goûté a la bavette, à l agneau & à la morue. Impossible de décider lequel était le meilleur tellement c était délicieux. Merci à toute l équipe.
