My new favourite resto! My husband discovered it on Yelp, because of its stellar ratings. When we…read morepulled up I was a touch concerned - how good could a restaurant be that's situated in a strip mall? Answer: unbelievably good! When we walked in, I was very surprised by the ambiance. The decor is welcoming, cozy and inviting, and looks more like a place you would find in St Sauveur. Everyone who works there is warm, friendly and helpful, and we had a fantastic server - thanks Amelie! As for the meals? Oh my. My husband and I were blown away by the wide range of choices on the menu and how delicious everything was. I got the maple salmon on the table d'hote (please add it to the menu full time, it instantly became my favourite meal of all time) and my husband got the Portugese chicken plate. Everything was delectable, including the fresh generous side salad and the hot, tasty fries (yum). Even the veggies and rice were extra delish. The prices are very reasonable, considering how high-end the experience is, and it's even BYOW. I highly recommend Viana Sol! I know, I know, a bit out of the way, but trust us, it's well worth it.

Restaurant Viana Sol is AMAZING! I've been here about six times. Every time, I was waited on by…read moreco-owner José and my meal was expertly created by co-owner Miguel Almeida. The food is so good here, that I have stopped ordering from the menu: I simply trust José and Miguel to make for me the most amazing culinary experience I've ever had. By the way, I've been to Portugal. The food here at Viana Sol is as fresh as, and even better than, the Portuguese food I had in Portugal. I'm from California, and I'm just blown away by the quality of the food and the service. Another thing: this restaurant is quiet and peaceful: it's good for a date, for good friends (and better wine), and family (including elderly family with hearing loss). I cannot give them enough stars. JUST GO!

The Concierge at my hotel recommended Ferreira, a Portuguese seafood restaurant in Montreal, and…read morewell established in Montreal. We were seated immediately that rainy early summer evening, having a reservation from our Concierge. It's a modern and streamlined looking restaurant interior with an interesting embankment that runs the length of the restaurant separating the well stocked bar from the tables with an underlit top that mimicks onyx and serves as an additional surface for service and whatever you have on your person. Porcelain plates are cracked and cemented to the wall as wallpaper, a definitive reference to Portuguese decor as well as the porcelain tiled backstop to the bar featuring a town somewhere in Portugal. All of it tastefully done and matching the authentic taste of the cuisine. We split a green salad and ordered glasses of red sangria. I asked before ordering if the sangria was served with fruit, but the sangria came out with no fruit. So I had to have them bring the fruit separately. I have never had to ask to ensure the fruit is served with sangria...ever. It was made with good red wine, but that was not a good look. The green salad was fresh, as was the fish to follow. I ordered the Rascasse or Red Scorpion fish, with crispy skin, and my friend ordered the Loup de Mer or Mediterranean Sea Bass, both flown in fresh daily as I understand. You're swimming around Portugal or thereabouts one day and filleted and plated the next...They are that fresh and this is why Ferreira is a seafood institution in Montreal. I enjoyed the slightly oily Rascasse, but the Loup de Mer I tasted was where it's at. I recommend highly the Loup de Mer! Notably, it took the kitchen a considerable time to produce our main courses, at least thirty minutes by our counting, and we both had the same observation and conversation as to length of time for the fish to come out of the kitchen. They served the fish with a very underwhelming orzo cooked in a tomato base, but it turned out very dry and unappealing. The cauliflower and broccoli were fresh and not overcooked, but I don't know what happened to the orzo. We were in alignment as to the orzo and both of us left it rather untouched. It would have been better to serve it with some quality yellow or saffron rice. I finished with an espresso with a very rich full cream that was on point. There are some definite high points to Ferreira Cafe when it comes to their fresh and authentic seafood focus and decor, but a little more attention should be paid to the orzo side and sangria, the latter being a layup and missed opportunity never missed at any Portuguese or Spanish restaurant. So evaluating Ferreira, a venerable restaurant with these inconsistencies and the fact this could have been an aberration, makes it a challenge. My split of the check with tip ran nearly $124 CAD, so not overly expensive for this level of freshness, but still with some misses and not the best value I experienced in Montreal. 3.7 stars

Colorful Portuguese dishes in an upscale setting for a great price…read more For lunch they have a tapas and entree menu with plenty of options. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and happy to answer questions about the food (the menu was Portuguese/French only). Complementary baskets of warm, fresh bread were served. We started off with fried shrimp in a savory sauce from the tapas menu to share. Entrees came included with soup/salad of the day and dessert. The cream of carrot soup was delicious. The entrees were generously sized and extremely flavorful. My grilled calamari had onions, avocados, and potatoes with a sauce. The dessert was the Portuguese classic pastéis de nata; it was rich and warm. There was a wide selection of beers and wines. Between the 4 of us we ordered 1 tapas dish and and 4 entrees for $105, plus 7 beers for $38. Definitely worth it for the amount of food and how delicious it was.

My wife, son (9) and I visit Longueuil about twice a year from where we currently live in New York…read morebecause my wife's relatives live here. After they yet again hosted us at one of their places, we took her cousin and the cousin's parents to Silvia Grill, seeing that it was highly recommended and a bit elevated. Montreal has many Portuguese restaurants specializing in rotisserie chicken that we would like to try. We chose this one because we are very accustomed to eating at Brazilian steakhouses. The menu at this Portuguese restaurant is similar to what we're used to so we felt comfortable recommending it; we also bet big on this place because my wife's aunt is an excellent cook, I mean a ridiculously good chef of all kinds of Peruvian foods in particular (my wife is Peruvian, I am a gringo of Italian/Sicilian extraction from New York). Our group ordered their national soup caldo verde, Caesar salad and a bottle of Spanish wine to start (reasonable and delicious). Caldo verde is a soup made of collard greens, potato and garnished with smoked Portuguese chorizo. This one was thinner in consistency than its Brazilian counterpart that we always order in New York, and it is a small serving in a big white plate. It has an earthy flavor of potato and fresh collards, and with just three delicious slices of chorizo it is light and fitting starter to a big meal. My son had the Caesar salad which they said was good. To me it looked over-engineered and a bit overdressed, and it looked to be a very small serving. We omitted the slices of crispy chorizo for his benefit and he liked it very much (at nine years old he has a thing for Caesar salad and salad in general). For entrees it was a whole different story. My wife and son split the special, a flank steak frites. I'm not a fan of flank steak but it was delicious. The French fries were perfect and the side of sauteed vegetables was great, too. I did notice, and this is all over Quebec province where we visit, that the size of the steak is (very) small by American standards so sharing this was not optimal since my son is a good eater. My wife's uncle and I ordered the grelhada mista, or mixed grill, consisting of a delicious quarter chicken (excellent spicy peri peri sauce on top!), a pork, a small serving of steak (flank I think) and their delicious smoked chorizo. The accompanying potatoes and sauteed vegetables were excellent, too. I have no comments on the size of this dish because it was filling. My wife's aunt and her daughter ordered one paella and it looked delicious. It had saffron rice, chorizo, chicken and seafood. They both raved about it and what meant a lot to us was that my wife's aunt was excitedly trying to identify all of the seasonings. My wife's cousin, in fact, said she would order a few of them next week for her two brothers who were not present, for takeaway to have at dinner. The desserts, too, were excellent. Our guests ordered blueberry cheesecake which they said was delicious (this appeared to be French-style cheesecake with blueberry compote). My wife had a caramel flan that was delicious (I sampled it), and I had the national dessert of pastéis de nata. These are vanilla custard tarts that are either served hot or made to order. I've had them before and these were stellar. Overall I highly recommend this place. Our server was great about everything -- he spoke English, French and some Portuguese -- including wine and food recommendations for the uninitiated. I've made it a point to report on some restaurants in Quebec because I've noticed that it's difficult for Americans to navigate that mess of badly presented Google Maps reviews. I'm glad I started with this place!
