My friend and I were a bit worried that the food might not be fresh or tasty. We checked our coats, and looked at the menu. We ordered 2 glasses of white wine and both were great. We were surprised when we received a free starter like an amuse bouche which was pretty tasty. Then we received the beautifully presented octopus dish. We took photos and split it. The kitchen or waiter noticed us splitting the first dish and brought out the pasta and fish dish already split in 2 which was very considerate of them! We enjoyed the delicious flavourful food. Everyone so far tasted great! We had a bit of pasta each left over. Our waiter came and packed them into containers but when he brought them back he did not know which container belonged to which person and both were placed in one paper bag which confused us. We both needed a bag each as we were going our separate ways after dinner. He later on apologized for the mistake. We did order dessert and that too was thoughtfully split in 2. The ice cream was amazing. I would go back just for the ice cream! Delicious strawberry sauce and crunchy bits of pistachio and some sort of praline it was a great end to the meal. Would I go back? Yes definitely!

How disappointing…read more Came here and had high hopes as the menu looked promising. The service at first was great. The servers were friendly and chatty. We came on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm and there were only 4 other tables apart from ours. The restaurant was fairly bright and the tables were nicely spread apart so that there was enough space to move around. There were 3 of us for dinner and so we decided to order 3 different main dishes to share. They were all pretty good size portions. BACALHAU À BRÁS - fairly large size portion and pretty tasty. I've had better elsewhere, but this was still good. CARNE DE PORCO À ALENTEJANA - good flavours; however, the pork was a bit dry, even though it was a bit of a saucy dish. PICANHA GRELHADA - grilled rump steak, served with black beans, French fries, and rice. This dish was terrible and I would NOT recommend! The steak was chewy and tough. When we told the server about this all he said to us was "well, sometimes that happens" and walked away. So, you're basically telling people that sometimes it just happens that you serve terrible food and you still expect people to pay full price for it. Because of this dish alone and the server's response to our feedback about the dish, I will never go back to this place again and I do not recommend this place at all. If I'm going to be paying those prices for food, they better be good. Also, when we made a reservation, we needed to leave credit card details for the booking. There are other places that are far better for Portuguese cuisine.

This is a restaurant that I randomly came across on social media when looking for new places to try…read morewith my family. We came with a group of 10 people and ordered 6 main/entrée dishes to share family style. Let me tell you this: THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE! You get a lot of bang for your buck here for sure. Even with 10 people, we couldn't finish the 6 entrees that we ordered. We also ordered 3 sides to share, and even those were portioned generously. The star of the show is definitely their Samaka Seafood Soup. 100% recommend getting this. You will not regret it! Rich and creamy seafoody goodness. Even the ones in our group who don't usually like cream really enjoyed the soup. The Sea Bream Singari Style fish also blew us all away. The Sea Bream was so buttery and juicy, and the cooking style was so flavourful. All the other dishes were also amazing and cooked to perfection. There is nothing to complain about anything at all. The only thing I would recommend is maybe skipping/substituting some of the rice for another side. The rice is great, but it's best when eaten with something else for the best flavour. There's so much rice that there's simply not enough food to pair it with. There was only one waitress working on the night that we went, and there was about 4 other tables, so she was pretty busy. It took a while and multiple reminders for us to give us water to our table, but we understood that it was busy and she was trying her best. I definitely recommend coming here with a big group so that you can try lots of different dishes!

It was the perfect capstone...nice, upscale, delicious Portuguese food and seafood. Based on the availability on the website, I was concerned + discouraged that I would not be able to get a table, but I was able to walk in and get a table without any issue. I started my meal with the Tiger Shrimp appetizer (Gambas Mozambique). They were accented with a delicious piri piri sauce and the overall flavor was phenomenal. Clams were my first choice, but they were out of them. For my main, I tried a special white flaky fish that they had from the Azores that resembles a perch. It was delicious! For dessert, I had the vanilla meringue dessert. It was good but by this point I was so full. The slice was huge, but the meringue just melted in your mouth. I really liked the wine list....they had vinos from the different parts of Portugal. I sat in the front part of the restaurant and enjoyed looking out the windows to people watch. Service was great! I highly recommend Chiado!

We got: - Saganaki: Ooey gooey fired cheesiness like saganaki should be. - Grilled Calamari meal: Calamari was perfectly cooked (glistening, smooth, not rubbery) and had a salty-tasty flavour. The rice had a perfect texture, almost 'al dente' to match the tenderness of the calamari. The veggie portions were generous. - Mussels: Portion size was good though the mussels themselves were small. Would have liked them a bit jigger and more plump. Great base sauce though (tasted rich like butter without having any butter). Prices were a bit high, but think that's how prices are everywhere these days. As mentioned earlier, service was great: helpful with advice, friendly in demeanor, efficient in speed. I now get why this place is a go-to for many when it comes to Greek spots on the Danforth.
