Pizza was very good. Dough & texture are close enough to Napoli style. However the prosciutto pizza hardly had any real prosciutto on it. It was shredded ham, which i had a difficult time to understand. You’re charging $25 for a small pizza that hardly costs anything. When you claim prosciutto you should use it. The fried calamari lacked seasoning and was bland. It’s a no brainer dish in most restaurants, just saying. Also it took the server sometime to bring it to our table while it was hot & crispy. Instead it was sitting at the kitchen counter for a good while. Basic 101. What bothers the most would be the resto lacked ventilation. The smell gets in the hair and clothes worse than a barbecue restaurant with no chimney. It’s a very cute dating spot but I guess after dinner not much will be happening because of the bad smell. Not sure how did this even pass building code. The restaurant tries to diminish this matter by using cold air conditioning and it’s 7 degree outside. The cold air was blowing right into my head. A change of wind direction was attempted to improve the situation but overall it was very unpleasant. Hopefully no one catches a cold tomorrow! I do think their pizza is worth coming back for but will be hesitant with the ventilation issue.

This is the place where I definitely will go once more! I tried several dishes here and each one was impressive!!! 🥗 Fig Salad Their signature dish — huge portion, super fresh, and the dressing is amazing. I still don’t know how they make it taste so light yet so flavorful. The mix of arugula, figs, and little crunchy bits gives it such a rich, layered texture. 🐙 Grilled Octopus Hands down the best Italian-style grilled octopus I’ve ever had. Many places overcook it and it turns rubbery, but not here. It was tender, bouncy, and packed with flavor thanks to their special sauce. A must‑order. 🧀 Burratini I’m not someone who usually enjoys cheese, and this was ordered by my friend — but the homemade pepper jam completely won me over. It’s not spicy at all, slightly sweet, and balances the burrata perfectly. Even I ended up eating half of it. 🥩 Rib Steak 18oz A massive steak, beautifully cooked, tender, and with the perfect fat-to-meat ratio. The house-made fries (not frozen!) were incredible — honestly the best fries I’ve had in my ten years in Canada. 🍰 Tiramisu Absolutely delicious. Not overly sweet, super smooth, and full of flavor. I loved it. I also recommended to my friends and colleagues, they also came out with very good comments. Highly recommended this place!
Such a perfect spot. Moreiras really checks all the boxes. It’s a small resto, so definitely make a reservation as it fills up quickly, and for good reason. Great food, a nice wine selection, super warm and friendly service, and a great ambiance. We were a group of six and shared everything, which worked perfectly. We started with two salads, the fig salad of the day and a fennel salad, both fresh and really well done. Then came the meatballs, which were honestly outstanding. After that we had two pastas, the pappardelle al funghi and the ragu pasta special both rich and full of flavor. We also shared three pizzas, the Margherita, the rucola pizza, and the Tutu pizza, all excellent. The most amazing pizza crust. The dough is fermented for 48hrs. And we couldn’t skip dessert, the Nutella donut holes were the perfect ending. Alexa took great care of us all night, and it was such a pleasure chatting with John, the owner and chef. Just a really solid spot. Will definitely be back
Excellent food. Excellent staff and even better tiramisu! Can't wait to come back 🤌🏽
Love their pizzas and the ambience of the restaurant.
So about the food. The pricing was appropriate. The pizza was great. The steak had good flavour but the cuts were too thin so our rare turned a medium instead. Gen service but there’s a certain way to go about it. Here coworkers didn’t seem too engaging at their jobs but they all seemed like Gen Z so not surprising. The wait staff definitely need some professional training on service and etiquette. It’s too bad because I would have loved to go back for pizza, especially since the venue itself was really nice and relatively quiet. Too bad….
Great atmosphere. Amazing, kind service. The food was really good, fresh and special flavors.We had such a wonderful date night.
Delicious food, relaxed environment, Excellent service,Fantastic cocktails. 10/10.
Placed a delivery order earlier tonight and I have to admit : their food SLAPS in the best of ways. Looking forward to dining in !
Food was great. Service however, non-existent. Our waitress didn't been bother to greet us or get us water. The busboy had to come give us water and another waitress from other tables had to take our order after waiting for over 20mins. Tipping should not even be an option of this the type of service you're going to receive (tipping culture makes these people lazy). I would not recommend this place unless you want to be ignored, maybe cause we weren't big enough of a table for you to "service".
Some of the most delicious Italian food in all of MTL! Great vibe, great service... highly recommend!
Very nice food and friendly service. The recommendation on the daily specials was very good. Will try other food next time.
Visited Montreal and found this hidden gem, Moreiras! The food was amazing, super fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was great too. Definitely a must try if you’re in the city!
Biiiig fan of these guys!! Ordered the Pappardelle Al Funghi and the focaccia & it came with the BEST surprise!! Everything tasted amazing thank you!!
Best gnocchi I've ever had.
One of the best italian food in montreal The food was so delicious and fresh
i dont know who put this place together…but it is absolutely SPEC-TACULAR !! Bravo Chef Jon!!!
Such a great spot if you’re craving really well-done Italian food. We loved everything we ordered. And warm service too. So glad we gave this place a try.
Moreiras is a solid choice. I’ve been there several times and the experience has always been very good. The food is consistently very good, the atmosphere warm, and the service attentive. Special mention to Angela for her professional and attentive service
So happy to have discovered this place. They have an amazing selection of dishes and wines. The food was great and the service impeccable! Everyone was super nice and accommodating
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve spent family evenings here more than once, and every time everything has been great. The atmosphere is warm, the food is delicious, and the staff are wonderful — thank you for the great service! Highly recommended.
Such a cute cozy place, great for the girlies! Ask for Angela as your waitress, she makes the best cocktails and is super sweet and accommodating. Ask for the chef’s special on the pasta menu and you will not be disappointed 🤤 Jonathan is less for the girlies because he didn’t laugh when we said we were skinny girls and could fit at the bar but can cook a mean pizza regardless so slay 🤎
Great pizza, though our table was delayed by 15 minutes because the previous guests hadn't cleared out yet.
Delicious food! I’ve been there quite a few times and it never disappoints. It’s also the perfect spot for a date, great atmosphere and friendly service.
Really great food, the pizza was really yummy and fresh, and the mushrooms pasta was fantastic. Nice find in Griffintown. The Service was also very good!
