Review Via Norte Restaurant - Toronto

Everything from booking a reservation to dining service was an incredible experience! Got to love great customer service! William, you are a gem. William was so kind and he also shared his knowledge about the food and wines and curated the perfect meal. There was also a severe allergy in attendance and he was reassuring to make sure every allergen was omitted from the recipe whilst staying true to the dish. Visit this place for your Portuguese/seafood cravings!

A humble and delicious Portuguese establishment — Great for a dinner date or for treating guests! We ordered the Grilled Chourico (served on a clay pot), this was one of the highest calibre sausage dishes I have had! And to round out the appetizers, we had the Piri-Piri Tiger Shrimp (with roasted peppers, grilled pineapple, zucchini, fresh herbs), a pricier dish, but seasoned and executed well. Mains started off with the Bitoque (US prime, Portuguese style, home fries, topped with fried egg, peppercorn sauce). First off, the home fries were amazing, beautifully crisp on the outside. The steak was cooked well, simply flavoured, cannot go wrong. Second was a Grouper special, I highly recommend asking them what their Fresh Sheet items are! They are incredibly generous with their portions, the Grouper was topped with a relish, and served with seasonal vegetables and potatoes. By far my favourite dish. Go and have a visit!

Our first time in the restaurant. My wife and I enjoyed our time there. The service was excellent and the food was very delicious. It's definitely worth a visit if you're craving or interested in authentic Portuguese cuisine.

What can I say?! Just wow. I booked a table for my partner and myself for a special occassion. We did not know what to expect. Everything from the delicious food to the wonderful staff, William and Danillo was top tier! They treated us like family and even offered us some delicious dessert and port wine on the house for us to enjoy. And boy did we!They also gave us a lovely bottle of housemade hot sauce to take home! We will be returning and recommending to our friends and family

First time going to this restaurant. First when u come in great ambiance right away and our waiter Daniel right away was as attentive as you can get . He was very friendly and courteous. For the food wow the fish is as fresh as you can get delicious all I had the Halibut fillet . My mom had the the stingray fillet and my dad had the whole dourada . Also very delicious according to the them . Highly recommend if you want great seafood .

Had my 40th birthday party at Via Norte. It was an amazing event! The entire staff was very helpful from start to end and the food was delicious. It's a great place for dinner with a loved one or friends. Also, to have a party!

Excellent! We ordered squid as an appetizer followed by the special fish of the evening. All wonderfully prepared in simple sauces or glazes. The sangria made a great compliment to the meal. And we even enjoyed a glass of port to finish the night. William and Rafaela were wonderful, certainly ask for them! We’ll be back the next time we’re in town!

There aren’t enough words to express how incredible every detail is at this restaurant! I have been here a few times in the last 5 years but this was the first time since Covid pandemic and my first time going as a parent. We had a dinner for 6 adults and 2 kids under 2. The service was impeccable; Stef and the other staff are courteous, helpful and made amazing recommendations! They made sure we had a table with plenty of space for our double stroller, they were considerate when bringing over plates to ensure the little ones didn’t get hurt and they were so friendly. The food was just so delicious! The appetizers were our group’s favourite dish. Since we wanted to try so many, they were so kind to place them all on platters so we can share (second picture). We had the grilled shrimp & squid, alheira, goat cheese salad and grilled sardines. Even our toddler loved the shrimp and alheira aps! The main courses did not disappoint either; 2 of us had the pan seared tuna steak (first picture) and it was the best dish I’ve had there to date. 2 had the raia and loved it as well. The 1 who ordered the steak dish loved the flavour but found it was slightly less rare than he would like and 1 other order the tamboril and also loved it. The main courses come with a good portion of veggies and are satisfying without being crazy huge. However if you have a big appetite, order aps before hand otherwise you may find it to be a bit small. Nobody in our party left hungry though, we all had just the right amount to satisfy our hunger. Desserts were SO yummy! The dark chocolate flan and Natas do Ceu were just the perfect size and sweetness. The molotoff was delicious but a very big serving, could even work for 2. The creme brule was delicious but small lol, she wanted more! Their passionfruit sangria is so refreshing! On top of this, the restaurant although it is family friendly, still has a chic dinning atmosphere without being super fancy. I honestly can keep going on and on about this place but the best thing is to try it yourself, you won’t be disappointed! Especially if you love great fish and seafood.

Fabulous! The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect (not too quiet, not too loud) and the food was fantastic! Our server, William, was attentive and fun. We will be back for the seafood.

Simply amazing, delicious food! Jose Alves you amaze us each time, the thought and love you put in every dish are what brings us back every time. Your staff is the most friendly and are like family to us. Best wishes in the New Year! Cheers.
