| - Well, that was kinda unexpected. We've been to this restaurant long time (about 15 years) ago and have very nice memories. So, being in Montreal once again we had no hesitation of coming, especially considering all great reviews on TripAdvisor (was this only our experience???)
Anyways, my wife ordered "Cod Minhota Style", my daughter - seafood platter and I had "Cod Lagareiro Style" (grilled with garlic). We also had an appetizer, calamari.
Calamari were actually quite good no questions there. My fish was absolutely loaded with bones. I've never had in any restaurant fish with bones, it was appalling. In addition to this, it was a bit over-grilled.... read "burned" and "swimming" in oil, way too much of it.
My wife's fish was very dry, almost "shoe sole" consistency under the layer of potatoes and sautéed onions... Only later (when we left) I learned how not tasty it was.
Last, but not least, the seafood platter... I tried one clam from it and spitted it out.... I tried one mussel... it was cold... did it come from the jar??? My daughter said that shrimps, scallops and lobster were not that bad, but where did those cold mussels come from??
Once food was served our waiter didn't bother to check on us, though we did mention that we have great memories and so on...
Was there stranger in the kitchen?? That was really awful meal and waste of $140.... Never again.
