Look, everyone writes rave reviews about this place but do you understand that IT IS TRULY AMAZING? The warm but sophisticated old world charm of the decor is subterfuge. The staff is enthusiastically amicable without being ingratiating so when the selections start to appear at your table you re...

Service here is excellent, from the coat check at the beginning, straight to the end of the meal.

We had the dourada and the skate, both of which were excellent. The servers recommended good wines to go with the fish and at $8 for a healthy pour, they were a good value.

Highly recommended for ...

Got a gift card from one of my clients some months back, and my girlfriend was flying out. I wanted something different for a change of pace and we kind of just settled on here.

Although, immediately after looking at the menu, they did something that caught my attention. " Catch of the day" a lar...

Simply fantastic. Top quality from start to finish. Easily the best seafood spot in Toronto. Quaint and understated restaurant but the selection of plates is intoxicating. Knowledgeable waiters and efficient staff. Valet service is nice. Bottom line, a must-go to place in Toronto. Will be ret...

The great food experience is only made possible when coupled with great service. At Chiado, they nail it. The food and service is on another level and the prices are in line with a restaurant of this calibre. You can spend way more for way less in Toronto these days.

Nice place, the decor was fine nothing super-special. Food was fine again nothing super special for the price that your paying. Service was fine; there was no wow factor. Nice enough place but wouldn't go back. Found it quite pricey for what you get.

Celebrated my mom's birthday here and had a fantastic experience. I loved their paintings! The restaurant felt authentically Portuguese.

The wines were tremendous, our waiter was awesome and fun. The main entries were delicious, the seafood were cooked correctly and their sauces were really good....

This restaurant remains my favourite year after year. We have been going since the 90s and still go on a regular basis. The food is Portuguese and being a Portuguese restaurant - the menu is sea food focused with the fish sourced from Portugal. The desert list contains Molotov - a desert my husband'...

I came here for the Winterlicious lunch service and the service was excellent, from coat check to exit. We were first served bread and olive oil as an appetizer, and the quality of all three were excellent. Then we were served our main courses: pan seared skate fish and squid. The pan sear skate fi...

Went to Seattle many years ago for a family function and was so impressed with everything from the bread to the steak to of course the seafood. I can see that nothing has changed with this fantastic Portuguese restaurant. Will be back very soon!

Divine seafood, incredible wines, a gourmet menu, impeccable service, and a refined ambience make this unique restaurant absolutely one of the best places to eat in Toronto. Easily one of the best places to eat in North America, with a taste and style you'll find nowhere else.

Excellent service and the quality of the food is outstanding. The only negative is the price. $20 wine is $60 and although the food is delicious, it's simple well done dishes. Would be a total hit if not for the extreme markup on every item.

I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for ages and finally got the opportunity. I am so upset I never made it sooner. The service was spectacular and the food was equally amazing. I had the duck that was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. I am writing this review and salivating. Now I h...

Had the Squid Entree and the lobster risotto. Everything was pretty good and they kept me filled up with olives and goats cheese aperitifs. Only thing I wasn't a fan of is the imported water. Seriously water is water and I don't need a carbon footprint the size of the iron giants on it.

I never been to a Portuguese restaurant and wanted to try it. We went in a group of 10, each one had a different dish and everything looked delicious. I had fish with risotto and it was one of the best fish I ever tried. Sobremesa was amazing as well.

Absolutely amazing! Our winterlicious dinner here was one of the best meals I have had in Toronto. The grilled squid was simply but perfectly prepared. The duck confit was rich, flavourful, and well balanced the crispy skin was a perfect counterpoint to the lux meat. The molotof (Portuguese mering...

After an epic fail following trip advisors top rated listings. (I think due to the fact the reviews are bloated by pretentious millenials that have never cooked a quality meal themselves) found this gem outside little Italy.
