My new favourite resto! My husband discovered it because of its stellar ratings. When we pulled 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...
Read moreFood: mediocre - pasta penne (vegetarian) for 30$ Service: Management refused to serve a pre- bought cake to serve at group party, and instead said would charge 5$ extra per person (14ppl) just to serve the cake.

As a patron, I regret having tipped that waitress myself with that type of entitlement and disregard for patrons.
They don’t accept credit cards because they have to pay a fee.
With poor management decisions, unacceptable attitude/behaviour and entitlement from the waitress, and overpriced and mediocre food, I didn’t enjoy my experience. We will not be going back, nor will we recommend this place to anyone else.
Management chose not to reform their policies or adapt to the situation, but to lose clients to save a buck instead. All we remember is: what we couldn’t do and how the waitress behaved for...
Read moreViana Sol is a gem of a restaurant! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing. We were a group of 25 teachers celebrating two retiring colleagues and were welcomed like family. Thank you for your hospitality, doing everything humanly possible to allow us to enjoy our evening worry free. When going out as a group, we are usually limited to a restricted menu in other restaurants. We appreciated the freedom to choose from the regular menu and everyone raved about how generous the portions were and how delicious the food was. The cabbage soup, shrimp appetizer, chicken, cod fish were all big favourites. The desserts alone make it worth another visit to Viana Sol. We...
