Best Portuguese Restaurant at Relax Speed

Have been to this friendly restaurant so many times because they make it special every time.
The food is great and at reasonable value. Our friends and family enjoy the relax pace and the friendly staff there because they care about how they service you and make you feel welcome.
I have brought many clients and they also loved it.

They care for just about what is in the center of the plate

Went to Casa Minhota for lunch with a friend. Reasonable price of $20 for a soup, main meal, coffee and desert. Homemade Soup, Portugese style. Excellent main meal of cod with a beautiful sauce. Calamari were also very good. We got the same accompaniment of boiled potatoes and steamed brocoli which was just like it sounds like which is not... more

Home Style Taste of Portugal

Instead of waiting in line @ Schwartz's, paying too much @ Moishe's, try this homey quality resto.
Very good value, selection, reasonable wines from Portugal, and friendly helpful service. Lunch specials are worth the trip, as well as fish, seafood, and grilled meats.....try the varied appetizers.
A good transition for those back from an enjoyable trip to Lisbon, Algarve Porto... more

Portuguese Food

Camarao Picante
-
I ordered the Camarao Picante, and was shocked when I received the dish: for $17.75 I got six shrimp in a bowl of spicy sauce, and a small bowl of rice. I wish I had known I would get so little food; I would have ordered something more substantial. The food was still delicious, though not filling.

A fine meal at a good price

I must say I am surprised by the number of bad reviews here. My husband and I ate here on a Monday evening without a reservation on the recommendation of the hotel concierge, who was Portuguese. The atmosphere is bright and homey. The tables quickly filled with locals shortly after our arrival. We were served water right away as well... more

Portuguese home cooking

I've been going here since I was a child and I always leave satisfied! I never go without having the Caldo Verde!Some of my other favorites Carne de Porco Alentejana and the spicy shrimp.

Worst Portuguese you can get in Montreal

We love Portuguese Food but felt that this place was overpriced and service was one of the worst we encountered in the city. You can better options in Montreal (either fish or chicken). Food was ok (appetizers & fish) but deserts were uninspiring which is surprising with Portuguese Food.
Unfortunately, the service really destroyed the whole experience. Even if the... more

Friendly and Relax Service

Some people may say that service is a bit slow, totally wrong! If you are in a RUSH let them know because most people that go there are to relax and enjoy a good easy going meal and drinks. We love this place because of this that they make you feel at home. The starters are great Grill Calamara, Octopus,... more

Great food, good value, super service

Classic Portuguese food, traditionally served, at prices far below other restaurants with similar theme elsewhere in Montreal. For a treat, book a table on a Saturday or Sunday -- suckling pig prepared on weekends -- it is fabulous. But book -- the place is packed with families -- and not four or six people per famiglia, but twenty!
Also try... more

Good food at a reasonable price

I live in Montreal and I freequent Casa Minhota. The food is consistently good and the service is friendly. I highly recomend the fillet mignon on a hot stone (cooked at your table) as well as the mixed grill plate. The house wine is also surprisingly good. For desert the pear stewed in white port should not be missed.

Service is excrusingly slow. Food is great!

Genuine Care

Looking for a bit of an insider restaurant in Montreal, I was suggested Casa Minhota. Not a big fan of Portuguese food, I thought I would give it a shot anyways, not without a little of apprehension.
But what a surprise! The two waiters were great, very talkative and open to cenversation, very impressive knowledge of their menu, and their... more

Disappointing. Very poor service

My most recent visit to Minhota (May 30, 2010) was a great disappointment. I had enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, in general, on two prior occasions. On this visit, our entrees (a paella and steak with fried potatoes) were mix of good and bad elements. But the worst aspect was the indifferent and perfunctory service. After taking our orders,... more

On a mothersday, the food was excelent but the service was excruciatingly long.

This restaurant gets a 5

This restaurant gets a 5 for charming friendly good service and ambience....the shrimps also get 5 stars...but unfortunately the Charbroiled COD - which is supposed to be a portugese speciality was tough, and sitting in a sauce that tasted something similar to BUTTER. Bland and not very flavourful. Nor were it's accompaniments. The cabbage soup (another speciality) was also pretty... more
