Cervéjaria — Restaurant in Boucherville

Finally, a great Portuguese restaurant not far from Montreal!

This place had been on my “must-try” list for ages, but I never found the right excuse to go—until now. And what can I say? It will definitely become my go-to whenever I’m craving Portuguese food.

I didn’t take enough pictures of all our dishes, but I think that’s a pretty good sign 🤪 I was too busy enjoying the food!

My friend and I went on a Saturday night without a reservation. I had called ahead and was told there was no need to book in advance. They were right. The place was busy when we arrived, so I was a bit worried we’d have to wait, but we were seated immediately. It was seamless.

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and patient. Since my friend and I planned to mostly order fish, and we can be a bit picky 😅😅 we had a lot of questions and she answered all of them with a smile, which made the whole experience even better.

Now let’s talk about the real star: the food 😋😋 Absolutely chef’s kiss from beginning to end 🤤

We ordered the grilled octopus. It was perfectly executed, and the chickpeas were divine. The garlic shrimp? Incredible. That sauce was something else! The Grelots potatoes were crispy and the mix with the arugula cheddar sauce was great. And the halibut? Perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious.

The only thing I would’ve loved was some bread 🙈🙈 but to be fair, we didn’t have the courage to ask for it 😂😂

For dessert, we had Pasteis de Nata and lemon pie. Both were excellent.

Kudos to the chef for beautifully executing delicious dishes. I’m already looking forward...

at first, the menu was confusing, but in the end i promise you it's worth it. im a very picky eater, but somehow, everything i dislike normally tasted AMAZING in this restaurant. I don't like big fries because of the soggy texture? these were so crispy and perfectly seasoned in the restaurant. I don't like vinegar? they used the perfect amount. When I say this restaurant is one of the best I've EVER been to, i mean that it is the best I've ever been to. Not only that, but the ambiance of the restaurant is so perfect. It's cozy, and feels like home. The decor, the lighting, the people, everything is so perfect. The food came in a regular amount of time, and the workers were so friendly. I would recommend the bife do lombo, batata frita, arroz, frango, etc. if I had to describe the food I'd say authentic but with a touch of modern. 100%...

I really enjoy this place every time I visit! It's a Portuguese tapas bar/restaurant but it mixes food styles from the Basque region and northern Spain. Try the grilled octopus, the grilled calamari, the garlic and chouriço shrimps. We recently tried the Pintxo de boeuf; a slice of bread with Manchego cheese, steak and caramelized onions on top. Delicious! We had a mango mojito and I had a glass of Porto wine. Everything was over the top. The price was a bit high but the quality is the main driver. This is a really high-quality restaurant with a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Highly recommended. It's definitely worth crossing the bridge from Montreal to visit this spot in the...
