I recently had the pleasure of dining at Porto Poulet in Montreal with my basketball team of 20 people, and I must say that our experience was nothing short of excellent. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and accommodated, despite the last-minute nature of our visit.
One of the standout aspects of our dining experience was the impeccable service. The staff at Porto Poulet went above and beyond to ensure that our group had everything we needed. They were attentive, friendly, and efficient, making us feel truly valued as customers.
The food at Porto Poulet exceeded our expectations in every way. Each dish was carefully prepared and beautifully presented. The flavors were well-seasoned, showcasing the chef's culinary expertise. Despite serving such a large group, the food arrived in a timely manner, demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to providing a seamless dining experience.
The portion sizes were generous, allowing us to savor every bite without feeling overstuffed. And, of course, leaving room for dessert was a must. The tiramisu at Porto Poulet was simply divine. It was the perfect ending to our meal, balancing the richness of flavors with a light and fluffy texture.
Considering the quality of food, the level of service, and the overall dining experience, the prices were fair. We felt that we received great value for our money, making our visit even more enjoyable.
Overall, our group thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our time at Porto Poulet. From the warm welcome to the delectable food and top-notch service, it was an exceptional experience. I highly recommend Porto Poulet to anyone visiting Montreal. Whether you're a small group or a large party, you can expect outstanding service, delicious cuisine, and an ambiance that will make you feel right at home.
Thank you, Porto Poulet, for providing us with an unforgettable dining experience. We can't wait to return on our next visit...
Read moreCame here for lunch and had the chicken breast and sweet potatoes. Food was very good! Chicken tasted like authentic Portuguese and I'd see myself coming back to have it again. The sweet potatoes was amazing however! Overall I was very happy with what I ate.
Couple of cons however...
Price-tag is a little high and while the chicken and sweet potatoes were good, I was hoping for a little more in my plate for the price. I also wanted Pasteis de Natas to bring back with me but they were 2.25 each... and $21 for a dozen. Sorry but that's quite expensive! I could easily get a dozen under $15 elsewhere.
I would consider this place more for takeout than for eating in. The place could use a little bit of of a makeover with its cracked tiles, open washroom door, cheap divider to the bathroom, things stacked in corners, no AC... these little things matter if you plan to have patrons dine here. At least to me!
Beyond that service was friendly albeit the food took 20 minutes to be prepared. We were 1 of the 2 tables used for lunch.. so I guess that's why it took longer than expected.
In conclusion I recommend visiting and grabbing some food here and bringing it home. More for takeout. Porto Portugal is solid Portugal cuisine albeit with a higher than expected price-tag for certain items...
Read moreThis spot definitely deserves the top spot in Montreal or even worldwide for the outstanding service I've experienced. When we arrived, finding parking was a breeze!
Sara and Abida greeted us promptly and were incredibly friendly and eager to assist. They informed us about the specials and accommodated us with outdoor seating on that Friday night (May 31st around 9:30 pm).
We ordered the chicken, rice, sausage, fries (sweet potato and normal French fries) and salads, and oh my goodness, the food was exceptional and the service was unbeatable 😍 super delicious and hot / fresh. 🍗 John served us our food and was extremely generous with the portions. He even gave me a fresh salad to take home and treated us to some complimentary shots. I've never experienced better service. I 1000000% recommend Porto Poulet to everyone. I'll definitely be returning for my Portuguese chicken fix, and for my 29th, I'll be booking my party here with friends. Thank you guys again - sorry my review was...
