High-end, authentic Portuguese cuisine defines this Little Italy treat, where fresh fish and a classy, unpretentious atmosphere are always the catch of the day. The fresh white ricotta-like queijo fresco amuse bouches and warm basket of sliced cornbread with nutty olive oil dip that launch the experience are well appreciated. From there, online reviewers gush about the quality of the seafood here, pausing particularly to wax over the octopus, monkfish and pan-seared skate fish. The wine list has some unique Portuguese selections, and the staff is well versed in their distinctions. Chiado's décor is simple but stylish, with contemporary art lining the walls and minimally adorned tables draped in double linens. more... See more text

I am seriously disappointed. We heard good things about the restaurant so made a reservation to celebrate our significant anniversary a month before. I just received a phone call today and they just cancelled our reservation because the restaurant will be closed on the day. Our reservation was on Canada Day. We thought it would be hard to find a restaurant open on the day that is why made our reservation way advance. They should not wait untilthe last minute. This is not fair!!!

Worth the drive to College and Ossington!

I loved everything about this restaurant! From the valet service at the door, the discreet but highly efficient service, the fresh and delicious seafood and wonderfully light Molotov dessert, and the extensive list of Portuguese wines. The atmosphere is lively and sophisticated. Nothing dull here. Yes, this has got to be the best Portuguese restaurant in Toronto! Would definitely recommend for special occasions or romantic dinners.

Def Worth It!

I don't normally frequent pricey restos, but this one, is worth the try. And you won't be disappointed. It's a quaint little place, with dim lighting and valet parking. They serve you this basket of warm bread with olive oil, while you wait for your meal. It was excellent. The jumbo prawn starters were AMAZING! Didn't think I could find seafood this good in Canada. The fresh fish was excellent as well. I think it's worth trying atleast once. We tried to tip the waiter that parked our car, but he flat out refused, because of restaurant standards or something. I was impressed. Definitely a classy joint!

Excellent service. Just as good as any top...

Excellent service. Just as good as any top restaurant in Toronto. They have an assortment of fresh fish flown in daily. They place the fish on a tray and before you order they come by with it and a story about each fish. All fish on the tray are $25/ea. Some of them I have never seen in Toronto before. Once again excellent service. Rather expensive but worth the treat once in a while. Expect to drop $250 for two people with wine so be prepared.
