    Lovely, Old Town vibe! We had the Rack of Lamb and Pork & Clams Alentejana. Both dishes looked fantastic and were delicious! The waitress was very attentive and friendly. All in all, a wonderful night out!

    Régulier depuis plus de 20 ans et ce n'est pas un hasard. Nourriture toujours excellente et le poisson toujours frais et cuit à la perfection. Endroit tranquille idéal pour un repas d'affaire ou entre amis.

    A terrific authentic Portuguese meal in a beautiful, spacious and comfortable setting. Our server was lovely and it was a great dining experience, reminiscent of many we’ve had in Portugal. We ordered monkfish, grilled shrimp, and grilled octopus, all of which were done perfectly. And a split pea soup and Caldo Gallego were a delicious start.

    Service by Amber was great. Food was average. Our group of 5 ordered from the table d'hote. Nothing special. Chicken was dry. Water for tea was not hot for some of the group. Did enjoy the creme caramel dessert and lemon ice cream. The chairs were uncomfortable (seating was hard).

    Food was terrific and both it and house wine were very reasonably priced. My wife had piri piri shrimp which was very tasty but probably could have been a little spicier for her given her tastes but very very good. I had madiera beef brochette which was excellent. Place was a little quiet for Saturday night but a larger group did come in and twice before I couldn't get a reservation earlier in the week. Place us a real gem and montrealers should pack the place every night
