One of the rare traditional Portuguese restaurant left in Toronto. Amazing food and friendly service will definitely be going back ?

Delicious food and incredible service. The best Bife a Casa I've ever had.

This owner/waiter is the rudest person I have ever experienced anywhere!I called to make reservations twice and he told me they didn’t have anything , I asked when do you have something and his answer was ‘I don’t know’. I said can you check and he was so mad and threw the phone down (I could hear the phone being thrown down). He came back and said in 2 weeks I said ok and told him it was for 9 people and two kids. As soon as I said that he said ‘we can’t do that’ I said why? He said ‘ we don’t have room for 2 kids’ I said ok another day? Again he said ‘I don’t know’ . I said how about next month? he said ‘ I don’t know my chef is sick’. I said ok will they still be sick next month ? He said ‘ya’. At this point I’m annoyed with his attitude . So I said so you have in September? And he said ‘I don’t know, it’s too far away’ . At that point I lost it on him! I told him he obviously didn’t need the business and that he was so rude and that I would make sure I told whomever I could that they should not go to his restaurant and that I would be writing a bad review! I then hung up!I am so appalled at his customer service , have never seen anything like it! This is not the first time I have been there and he is always rude. It’s been a few years now, but it was definitely the last!!!Avoid this man at all costs!After speaking to some people about my experience they weren’t surprised, they asked if I spoke English to him and I said yes! They told me that’s the problem, if you aren’t Portuguese then he’s very rude to you!Funny thing is that I AM Portuguese!!! But just spoke English to him. That shouldn’t matter!Goof !!!!

The owner is so rude, it's nauseating. We asked some questions about the menu and some small substitutions, to which he immediately said they don't change anything, not even French fries for chip fries and then walked away without taking our oder.This used to be a good place, but the service has definitely gone down hill. Perhaps he should get out of the hospitality industry, and into something more fitting for his rough personality.It is clear why on a Sunday afternoon, the place was completely empty.Take your money elsewhere, they're clearly not grateful for business.

The restaurant was basically empty. Had lunch with a client. Food was ok (fish was dry and overcooked), and the owner had a very unpleasant attitude serving us. Still tipped him (even though he was not deserving of it), but my client and I will definitely not go back. ?

The owners were very accommodating, thought we were cutting it close to closing but they took our group of 4 in with no problem. The food was very filling, healthy and fresh. Thank you so much to the lovely owners who took care of us!?

Old man that owns this place and his son who is the cook are always fighting and service couldn't get any slower I mean I was wondering if I should have just pay or the beer I had and leave but we stayed and left with a headache of people arguing behind wall were they were cooking

Best Portuguese Restaurant in Toronto!! Food is fresh and worth the wait. Place is clean and staff are friendly.

The food is made fresh and delicious…. Service is good you just have to understand the owner does it all on his own and is very particular on excellent service.

Great down home traditional Portuguese dishes, no place for hipsters looking for rotisserie chicken.Great service, good food, and good wine.

Ordered grilled salmon with veggies and banaboia steak with egg and fries. It was delicious. Definitely will be ordering again!! Keep up the good work banaboia.
