Portuguese Restaurant · Dufferin Grove · 14 tips and reviews
T Z: Excellent meal and service. Definitely do not miss the fish flown in from Portugal. We had the tilefish which had a nice spiciness to it and the espardarte with risotto - best dish of the night.
Candi Jeronimo: Best fresh Portuguese fish! Nom non nom
THE_MAN: The food and quality of service is outstanding at Telepizza down the street, not like this place. Keep out of this place, that's my tip.
