Friendly, great food, good people, will come again.
Top tier must-try dining experience.
Cozy, quaint little restaurant with excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere.
Our server overheard that our weed vape died half way through dinner and he brought us a portable charger to get it charged LOL. Absolute legend.
Overall we (two of us) spent about $300 for the chef's tasting menu and several drinks which in my opinion is very reasonable considering the quality, presentation and service.

Maria Celeste is a top tier must-try dining experience in Vancouver, offering a cozy, quaint atmosphere with adorable little fish decorations. This small Portuguese restaurant delivers excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and attentive, making sure to take accommodations into account and creating a great place to celebrate birthdays or any special occasion. The service is friendly and impeccable, with thoughtful touches like clearing plates, changing dishes, and regularly refilling water and lemon.
The food is amazing and every dish is executed so well. The chef's tasting menu and several drinks come to about $300 for two, which is very reasonable considering the quality, presentation and service. Favourite dishes include the pica pau (beef tartare), bacalhau a bras, and the wagyu steak. The pork was mind-blowing, tasting more like beef in a good way. The arroz de marisco lives up to expectations with rich, savory seafood flavors and incredibly bouncy Argentine red prawns. The pluma de porco ibérico was a little underwhelming, though the clams paired well with the pork. A sautéed watercress with bean purée was a pleasant surprise. The chocolate mousse was wonderfully smooth, light, and airy. A new dessert called bolo is absolutely loved. A couple of dishes were a bit salty, and music and chatter was a bit too loud but not out of the ordinary. Portuguese egg tarts are not available but are working on the recipe. This place should be on your list.
