This is me and my family's favorite place to eat, the food is well cooked and had lots of flavor and it took a reasonable time for the food to come out. After going there for generations we have built up a great relationship with the owners of the store and the family. Very sad to hear it closed this year due to the covid-19 pandemic, it will be a deadly missed place, I will always have a spot for mimos in my heart.

There is no restaurant I would rather go to in calgary. For almost 30 years I have been eating Isabelle’s food. Most birthdays, Valentine’s Day celebrations have been there. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing dishes.

Decor is a little dated but the food was good, especially the Paella.

Amazing! I love the staff. The food is always phenomenal. Highly recommend the pork and clams (Carne de porco alentejana), snails (caracóis), chorizo sausage with fire (chouriço à bombeiro), any wine from the Alentejo, espresso and any dessert!

I frequent this marvelous restaurant once a month as I like the good air that is part of this place. The crew is exceptionally helpful and experienced. The service is remarkablywonderfully quick. Also, the food they prepare is great. I ate there many times and I was always satisfied. The payment is modest. I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

What a wonderful little place! You don't expect it to be as beautiful as it is on the inside. Even with a small party, there is a wait, but the food is well worth it! Isabel is an absolute delight, and you are really treated like family here. The experience was so wonderful I wish it could have lasted the whole night, it was hard to go home.

Food is cooked fresh kn the hour and delicious. But it does take time so don't go id your in a rush or preorder they are really good with that as well. They also have a wonderful little grocery store with things from Portugal it is great.

Amazing food. Consistently delicious. A gem in Calgary.
In Calgary on a business trip and found this really great Portuguese family restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the food is fantastic. I highly recommend anyone visiting Calgary to try this place out. My colleague and I had the traditional kale soup, shrimp croquettes and grilled calamari with chip fries which were delicious. Definitely recommend this place especially if you love fish and seafood.

Absolute gem. Had a number of items off the menu and they were all outstanding. I'm not sure why Calgary does cherish these hole in the wall gems more.
