Porta Nova Cafe

Portions were huge, the ambience was great and so was the service

My favourite steakhouse in Toronto! The new owners are from Alberta and get the best AAA Canadian beef for the best prices! I always get the 18oz Cowboy Steak on the sizzling hot stone, the Mediterranean salad to share, and the cod cakes to start. And a bottle of Portuguese red wine, all at a lower cost than other "trendy" restaurants. Geary Ave's best kept secret!

Changed management and probably no Portuguese related workers. Ordered the Francesinha and it was not that good. Don't go for it, try something else. The potato chips were good.

I was going to Porta Nova on a regular basis, the place and the prices were great. Since the original owner sold it last year it has never been the same. I live in the area and notice that it is now closed for Restructuring. They should of never tried to fix what's not broken. I am very skeptical about going back when it re-opens. They should get Portuguese people in the kitchen.

Delicious dinner! I had squid...it had such a wonderful flavour.

Absolutely fantastic food and service! The staff is so welcoming and very friendly. Our server was so sweet and took the time to explain some of the items on the menu to us with a smile on his face. We tried the chorizo, grilled calamari and cod cakes. They were all beyond amazing!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have some delicious food.

Best portuguese food in Toronto. Every time I come her the service is amazing and the food is very authentic and great tasting. Always come here for my birthday party's.

Recently visited Porto and loved trying the francesinha! So, we came home to Toronto searching for a restaurant that also served the dish. Porta Nova’s specialty dish, the francesinha was tasty, delicious and fantastic! We were so happy to find the dish that brought us back to Porto! Staff was attentive and pleasant! Can’t wait to go back!

Busy place, nice atmosphere. Food is homestyle and quite good but I wasn't expecting the cod to be chewy and salted. I would go again, but wouldn't order fish.

Awesome and delicious food, I loved the vibes this place has, and the workers were welcoming. I will definitely visit here again.

What can I say about this place- great atmosphere and the city's hidden gem! The food was amazing but the real delight to our taste-buds was the desert !!! We do not know how the desert was was made, as it is not "deep fried ice-cream"...however we could have eaten two more!!! Thank you Leaf for the recommendations to our food choices and amazing service! We will see you again soon!

The food was delicious. Portions were a great size. Ambiance was great, will definitely go there again!

Great hidden gem of a restaurant... Outstanding food, really well kept and modern interior, and very reasonable prices for the quantity of food. Their only drawback is their patio needs a little work... Pretty basic setup, with some lighting and nicer tables could make a great summer night spot.
