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.

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!

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!

For their price, it is a lot of food, one large serving of their 19$ grilled chicken with sausage and poutine is a great meal that will last you the entire day, it was more than enough for two. They debone two legs of chicken on top of the poutine that they pulled fresh off their grill! Service was fast, there is plenty of room to eat at the restaurant and they have a separate counter for the pastries. We had to get some of their Portuguese tarts (10$ for 6) and they were also amazing. Creamy, custardy, perfectly baked. It reheated well in the air fryer when we brought some back as souvenirs to enjoy. This is a place worth stopping by in Montreal, poutine in one hand and a batch of tarts for dessert on the other.

In the entrance, you'll walk by their seafood counter and fresh basil plants. This tapas-styled bistro tends to draw an older crowd who like splurging on wine for their night out so it wasn't noisy when we were there. Music choice was a little off (rap) for the ambiance. Plates are a little bit more expensive for a suburban location. Our server recommended the grilled octopus so we tried that. The octopus was indeed tender but lacked flavor so I was actually more impressed with how tasty the marinated chickpeas underneath were instead! Chorizo and blood pudding sausages were quite alright and the blood pudding was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We ordered a small bowl of their special rice and while pricy, was packed with seafood flavor. Think paella minus the seafood lol. Service was friendly, food was good but I found price was just a bit higher than expected for the types of dishes.

Located is small and relatively easy to miss but clearly not worth missing. Interior is clean with a busy owner working on many delivery/pick-up orders and serving in-house patrons. Portuguese themed decorations with cute plates glued on the roof, Portuguese accessories along the walls and a huge bar you can eat at and watch the action in progress. I went with their quarter chicken with side fries and salad. The chicken was moist and tasty..... just as I'd expect a competent Portuguese place to provide me with with a great charcoal grill. What really knocked my socks off was how fantastic the fries were! Literally the best fries I have ever eaten. Perfectly prepared and then covered in their household secret blend of 17 spices.... these fries are literal taste-bud heaven! Portion size is generous, it's a huge plate. Along with my meal, I had a Sumol Passion fruit drink and a Pastel de Nata. I love Sumol (imported from Portugal) and it compliments this food perfectly. The Pastel de Nata was really good as well and I liked it so much I ordered a dozen to go to share at work. They were a big hit and I ended up going back to Escudo Express with some co-workers so they can enjoy what I experienced. They loved the chicken and freaked out how good the fries were. Everyone was delighted on how great the food is. Price-tag is reasonable, value is very high. I recommend their chicken, fries and Pastel de Nata. This place is truly a hidden gem on Montreal's north shore. Owner is direct yet friendly and funny. We enjoyed our time here and plan to go back.

The ambiance is pretty dim with warm colors that set a nice mood for those of you who enjoy that intimate or romantic setting. We were promptly seated in the back, warm and far away from the cold winter harshness and isolated well enough so our conversation was kept private. After some contemplation we went with the 'Prato de Carnes' (meat platter!) which consisted of chicken, portuguese sausages and pork. While we waited we were provided with a huge warm bread bun which we promptly ravaged. After 15 minutes or so, our meal was served in a huge plate filled with delicious looking meats and a side plate with french fries with homemade mayo. Let me just state that the chicken was out of this world good, so much so it completely surpassed everything else. The moistness.... THE MOISTNESS PEOPLE!... and the taste... BY GAWD the TASTE!!!! I must go back just for this! The sausages, they were good... but completely forgettable after tasting that chicken... the pork? an afterthought!! The chicken folks... the chicken!!!! Why are you still reading this? The side fries were good as well... and the home mayo were delicious... they should provide it in a bigger bowl though. :) For dessert, we went with Portuguese tarts... they were pretty tasty. The price-tag is about average and worth it. The service was decent as well. All in all, somewhere I'd def go back.
