Hello, my name is Victor Talamo. I had the opportunity to eat at your restaurant while I was in Montreal. As a local guide, I offered what I consider a fair opinion, based on my experience and many years of traveling to numerous countries and cities. It is absolutely absurd to request that I speak privately with the owners before issuing my opinion; that violates every principle of freedom. I went to eat there and found it to be a 3 out of 5 star place, because that's all it is. It's a very small restaurant, the food is nothing special, the service was very basic, and the atmosphere is quite poor, so I rated it 2 out of 5 stars. I'm sorry if you disagree, but that's my opinion, and you should respect it. I'm not hiding behind a keyboard; here is my full name. I remind you that technological communication has become increasingly common and widely used over the years; nowadays, it's perfectly normal. I'm not using a pseudonym; remember, this is my name. The rating wasn't bad, it's 3 out of 5 stars. In my opinion, your place doesn't deserve a higher rating. Regards.

Hi Victor, Thank you for your 3-star Google review. I did notice that the review was edited recently, though nothing was changed from a few weeks ago. Rather than leaving a review with no comments, I truly encourage you—and anyone who feels an establishment didn’t meet expectations—to reach out directly and have a conversation with the owners or management. A quick conversation often goes a long way and gives businesses a real opportunity to understand concerns and make things right. At our restaurant, we take every review seriously and always do our best to serve quality food and provide friendly service to every guest. We also understand that it’s impossible to please 100% of the population every time. That said, negative reviews can have a real impact on small family-run businesses like ours. We appreciate honest feedback, but we also believe in the value of open conversation and treating each other like humans first—not just behind a keyboard. Thank you. Bonjour Victor, Merci pour votre avis de 3 étoiles sur Google. J’ai remarqué que vous l’avez récemment modifié, mais que rien n’avait changé depuis il y a quelques semaines. Plutôt que de laisser un avis sans commentaire, j’encourage sincèrement toute personne qui sent qu’un établissement n’a pas répondu à ses attentes à communiquer directement avec les propriétaires ou la direction. Une simple conversation peut faire toute la différence et donne à l’entreprise une réelle occasion de comprendre la situation et d’y remédier. À notre restaurant, nous prenons tous les avis au sérieux et nous faisons toujours de notre mieux pour offrir de la nourriture de qualité ainsi qu’un service chaleureux à chacun de nos clients. Nous comprenons aussi qu’il est impossible de satisfaire 100 % des gens à chaque visite. Cela dit, les avis négatifs peuvent avoir un réel impact sur les petites entreprises familiales comme la nôtre. Nous apprécions les commentaires honnêtes, mais nous croyons aussi à l’importance des vraies conversations et au respect humain avant tout — pas seulement derrière un clavier. Merci.

Delicious chicken sandwich! The piri piri is so flavourful and bread so perfect. Don't miss the natas that are the best I've ever had. Warmed up, crispy on the outside and delectable on the inside. Well done 👏🏼

Best Portuguese chicken I have ever tasted! The only downfall is the change in the salad dressing. I preferred the original one, however, the new one is also good. Great service & affordable prices! Recommend 100%!

Overpowering one note lspice on everything. Small inedible wings loaded with same offensive spice. Sausage very dry...not tasty. Soggy chicken...cold stale fries. Would absolutely not recommend l.

Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Based on your review history, its clear you have exceptionally high standards when dining out. While we fully respect everyone’s right to their opinion, there is a meaningful difference between constructive criticism and consistently disparaging remarks toward small, independent businesses as you seem to do on all of your reviews. Our team works hard every day to deliver quality service and authentic products. We understand that no establishment can satisfy every palate, and we accept that with respect. What we do stand behind, however, is the effort, care, and integrity we bring to our work. We’re genuinely sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. At the same time, we remain proud of what we offer and the community that continues to support us. We truly look forward to the day you open your own restaurant so that everyone can experience the level of excellence and high expectations you consistently advocate for. We wish you all the best in finding establishments that better align with your preferences. Regards, Viana Team

Dining at Viana with my close friends was an experience that went far beyond a simple meal, it felt like a return trip to Portugal! The food was comforting, vibrant, and clearly prepared with care and respect for Portuguese cuisine. The restaurant had great energy and the staff were incredibly warm and friendly. Totally recommend!

Viana delivered exceptional catering for our event—everybody loved the food! We had multiple people asking where it was from. The chicken was excellent, the salad was fresh and delicious, and the fries were a hit. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is a gem. The food was great, the seating arrangements were cozy and of course the food and smells coming from the kitchen was very inviting. If you get the chance, give it a try. You will not be disappointed.
