Reviews for Chiado Restaurant in Toronto, ON
Portuguese restaurant , menu mostly seafoodsc! Appetizers are pretty However no dishes are that special! Lobster bisque on the... thin side. My grilled fish special tonight is very good! Can try Read more
Came for summerlicious and the food was not worth the price. The appetizers and desserts were good, but I found the entrees to... be bland and not exciting. The service was okay, I found all the servers to be "above us" and unwelcoming. Not the kind ofexperience you'd expect from such a high-end restaurant. The salmon tartar was amazing, the best dish of the night. It was veryfresh, and the combination of salmon, avocado, and beet was interesting and delicious. The grilled squid wasn't my favourite, mypartner really liked it. But I found the grill marks to be too strong and very little flavour to the squid. The lamb rack wascooked well, but again, no seasoning. The sides were all good and I really enjoyed them, but I was hoping for at least some kindof sauce. The skate fish was not good, I found the fish didn't taste fresh, and while the risotto was well made, the fish justoverwhelmed the entire dish. The chocolate cake was nice and dense and well made. It went very well with the mousse andraspberries. The lemon tart was also delicious and a good portion size. We both really enjoyed it! Read more
It’s been a loooong time since I was here. I’m definitely impressed with how the restaurant has evolved. Service was... attentive and friendly. We came during summerlicious which we wasn’t our original intention. The food was BOTH very artfullyprepared and delicious. Definitely gonna be back. Read more
This restaurant was such a nice surprise! We absolutely enjoyed every meal. They serve a variety of breads with olive oil and... olives with roasted garlic, and everything is delicious. Our server gave us amazing recommendations and was very patient as wechanged our decision. For food we shared: Goat Cheese Toasted Over Eggplant, Portabella Mushrooms, Champagne Vinaigrette as theappetizer. We maybe spent 15 minutes deciphering every vegetable in this dish as each one had a different taste and sauce, andit was utterly perfect! Nova Scotia Lobster On Risotto Of Saffron as the main. This was one of the best risottos we have had.In comparison to many other restaurants in the vicinity, this was possibly the best. It is not at all fishy, and the lobster isvery tender and delicious. The risotto pairs perfectly and this was overall a great dish! I will definitely be going back to trymore of their menu, and I have already recommended this restaurant to my seafood-loving friends. Must try! Read more

Loved our dinner here. Service is top notch. Food well...you have to try it, make up your own mind. But, really, pretty great.
Came here on me and my dad's birthday on a Monday- it was pretty busy but service was amazing and the servers gave great... recommendations! We ordered: Steamed Clams???? Carpaccio of Grouper ???? Roasted Australian Rack of Lamb ???? Grilled Octopus???? Pan Seared Sea Bass Natas do Ceu Peras Cozidas The clams were perfectly cooked and very tasty. I love Carpaccio but neverhad Grouper of it before and it was a very mild fish, thicker cut than I expected and dressed with well balanced acidicflavours. The rack of Lamb was so tender and cooked perfectly. The grilled Octopus is something I order at almost everyrestaurant and this was one of the best I've ever had! The thick cut tentacle was extremely tender and juicy, you have to orderit! Desserts were a bit too sweet for us but thr Pear Dessert is very unique and great presentation. Can't wait to come backone day! Read more
