Always a pleasant experience at Via Norte. A young gentleman named Chris served us today. His service was impeccable. He surprised us with a prosciutto spread that was lovely. Our mains of a tuna steak and a wild boar with potatoes was phenomenal. This is why we always come back thank you

Absolutely the best tuna I've ever had. Anywhere. It was a special, so not always available. If you're able to order it, I recommend rare.

We happened to be served by the daughter of the chef/owner and her knowledge and expertise of the food and wines was over the top. The wines were wonderful, the food authentic to Portugal and eye opening wonderful and full of flavor. The presentations were perfect and the service was spectacular.
This is a must stop in Toronto, don’t be afraid to make late reservations. You must go once.

We can’t thank Stef and the Via Norte team enough. We decided to have our son’s baptism reception and dinner at via Norte, and we are extremely pleased with how everything went. Firstly, Stef was super easy to work with and accommodating us in our planning. She was readily available through email, text and phone to answer any questions we had and to follow through on other things. The venue itself is elegant and beautiful inside, the table setup amazing. Thirdly, the food there is absolutely delicious. My wife and I are foodies, and on top of that we are Portuguese, we know what good food is. And this place provides not 5 star meals but more than that! If I could give it ten stars I would. None of us left there hungry, we were completely satisfied, and the service was impeccable. We will return 100%.

I recently hosted a group booking at Via Norte and had a great experience. Everything from the ambiance, service and especially the food was exceptional. The staff were attentive and very professional, we even had a visit from the Chef. I would recommend it and will return soon. Perfect for group bookings, but intimate enough for a date.

Mandatory stop on Via Norte!While traveling through Canada, I went with my family to visit Via Norte. And what a pleasant surprise. We were very well received by Mr. William, very friendly and with good humor. My husband chose the Bitoque and I chose the salmon. Everything was delicious. It is worth highlighting the service provided by Mr. William, who, at the end, kindly walked us to the door. Everything 5 stars! It's still worth leaving the house for dinner!I will return and recommend without a doubt!

My family and I recently celebrated Easter at Via Norte, and it was a fantastic experience. The service, particularly from our waiter William, was outstanding. The food was exceptional, with a delightful range of Portuguese specialties that were expertly prepared. The attention to detail throughout our meal was evident, and the ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of our experience. We'll definitely be returning to Via Norte in the future. Highly recommended!

I went with a friend for Winterlicious and had an amazing time. William, our server, was so kind and gracious explaining the origin of the dishes we had. On top of that, he gave superb recommendations and had a lovely attitude. The grilled octopus dish and sardine appetizers were simply delicious!
