Portuguese Restaurants in York, ON

“Great Portuguese BBQ chicken, highly recommended!!!“

“Not all portugese grills are the same _ Firstly when you walk into this establishment you notice how clean it is _ no matter what time you walk in _ its spotless unlike some other restaurants where the first thing that hits you is the uncleanness _ Lavrador's Bbq open kitchen is huge and the place has been there for a long time _ but the massive overhead exhaust systems grills and ovens are extremely clean and new looking _ always shiny _ hot table as well (which contains and displays some of the tastiest food ive had if not the tastiest) always fresh and kept at proper temperatures _ next thing you see is Linda the owner coming out from the back walking towards you with a smile if she is not already serving another customer _ always friendly _ never a long face _ even though she might be exhausted near the end of a long day from all the cooking cleaning and serving (not to mention the heat) she is very professional and does most of it herself _ not to take anything away from her helper _ also the variety of food should be noted _ she has the main dishes every day Like the chicken _ potatoes _ rice _ fish which is all extremely tasty but she also throws in some other dishes that you will find on certain days like chineese style stir fry rice and lasagna _ stew with potatoes peas and pork_ fava beans,roast beef roast pork cod fish stew,cod fish and potato pie if that's your thing _ and where else can you get a huge turkey drum stick and feel like a king _ also her home made corn bread is amazing_ and for what you get in regards to quality of service_ quality of atmosphere and quality of most importantly the food the prices are unbeleivable _ I havent tried all of the dishes yet but I plan to _ im on my way there now

“We just recently had my step father’s surprise birthday party in the upstairs hall. I initially booked with Ines who was super thorough, professional and kind. I then worked with Elisabete along the way and she was completely honest and worked with me to make sure that everything would be perfect. The servers and the bartenders were absolutely amazing. Thank you to everyone who helped me make the night super special for my step dad. The hall was beautiful and private as well.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were exceptional. The establishment is very clean and has an upscale feeling with home like treatment. The owner came around to check on each table. Warm and welcoming. My 9 year old grandson loved his food and pinches of the cheek from the maître d’. 😆 We’ve been before and will definitely come back again.“

“Smashing IT! 🇵🇹😋🇵🇹

If you’re craving true, authentic Portuguese comfort food, look no further than Costa Verde Toronto on Oakwood Avenue.

Tucked right between trendy St. Clair West and hip Eglinton West, this spot is one of the city’s best‑kept secrets — a neighbourhood treasure serving up flavours that feel like home.

They roast some of the most incredible Portuguese‑style rotisserie chicken you’ll ever taste. Juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned, and paired with roasted potatoes that are vibrant, crispy, and unbelievably delicious. It’s the kind of meal that makes you close your eyes for a moment just to savour it.
And the menu doesn’t stop there.

From hearty fava beans to beautifully breaded fish and so much more, Costa Verde delivers generous portions that guarantee you’re getting your money’s worth. Don’t be surprised if you leave with leftovers — the servings are huge, and every bite is worth it.

And let’s talk about dessert: their Portuguese custard tarts are exceptional. Golden, creamy, and absolutely addictive.
The cooks are masters of their craft, and the staff are warm, welcoming, and wonderfully attentive. It’s the kind of place where you feel taken care of the moment you walk in.

Costa Verde is a must‑visit.

The food is outstanding, the portions are generous, and your taste buds will be thanking you long after the meal is over.“

“Came here to get a beefana to go. They make them really good here and you can't beat the price!

Its mostly older Portuguese people here, and it really is a place stuck in a time capsule. Great for watching soccer games.“

“One of my family members said this is the best place for Portuguese food in Toronto. We were hungry so we thought we would give it a try. We phoned through our order and went and collected it and once it was home we tucked in. The food was EXCELLENT! There was plenty to go round and for us all. Highly Recommended!“

“I want to give a huge shout-out to the amazing waitress Paula! Every time I visit, she and Shan are the only ones who are always smiling, incredibly polite, and ready to serve with enthusiasm. The food is consistently delicious, making it truly worth experiencing Portuguese cuisine in Toronto. Note: They always provide exceptional service ????“

“Today I visited this place for the third time. It is probably the only cozy spot in the whole neighborhood. They have an unusual selection of pastries and very good coffee. The place is clean, and the staff are very kind and attentive, always happy to help or give recommendations. I highly recommend the cannoli! Please maintain this high standard. There's nowhere else to get coffee here except you. :)“
