Portuguese House in Huntsville

Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. 10/10!!

Awesome place!! You will not be disappointed!! Have been many times everything is delicious. Nothing else needs to be said.

Very authentic and delicious food

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. I loved everything about the experience. The food was amazing and you felt like part of the family. Thank you Gaby for singing happy birthday.

The best octopus Ive had!

First time here , amazing food , great value for your money . Service was spectacular, I highly recommend having a meal here.

I have come here to say: This place is a gem. Everything is delicious and perfect. Im very happy to randomly found it on the maps and just deleite a good portuguese food... all the best 100/10

Delightful warm atmosphere and delicious food. Loved the experience.

Chef cook with heart.

Great food & great service! Would highly recommend. Striplion and tenderloin were prepared very well, significantly tastier than other steak houses we been to on our trip to Deerhurst.

We ve brought hundreds of people here and not a single person has ever left disappointed. Run by a lovely family with top-tier staff.

Amazing food! The lamb with risotto is my absolute favour

The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish I tried/ordered was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the francesinha à porto and the Portuguese style chicken with a side of hot sauce. If I could come here 7 days a week I would 5 stars all day definitely on my list of best Portuguese restaurants and lastly for desert definitely highly recommend the Creme brulee & Cookie cake. The dishes I had on my visits were as shown Soup of the day (Spinach) Bread with ( Olive spread & Peri-Peri Sauce 5 star sauce! Flaming Portuguese Sausage Grilled Calamari Portuguese Style Chicken (Packed with amazing flavor) Bitoque ( 8oz Angus Steak with a fried Egg peppercorn gravy sauce I paried it up with Mashed Potatoes & Veggies) Also if youre big on French fries this place wont disappoint you! 6pc of amazing fresh Oysters asked for the Peri-Peri sauce instead of Tobasco! Portuguese Styled Shrimp ( I got mine with their homemade peri-peri sauce highly recommend!) Creme Brulee Cracker Cake Also if youre a fan of Espresso Martinis ask for one with Teauila instead of vodka (thank me later!) Hands down the best Restaurant in town! Lastly the staff are amazing 10/10 service, the chef is hands down 10/10, presentations of every dish the flavor of all the dishes were all spot on specially the portions given to you are more then generous and fair you cant go wrong at all. Honestly if you dont like the food I personally believe its just you haha! Hope this review makes you visit Portuguese House and enjoy the amazing Portuguese Cuisine!! Parking: Great location for parking.

Great atmosphere and wonderful service. Unfortunately the food was limited in flavours. I ordered the octopus topped with capers and a chimichurri sauce. Surprisingly it was bland. Hoping this was an off day.

Had a lovely birthday dinner this evening with my husband! Warm atmosphere, delicious food (especially the dessert!) and Adrienne was a kind and inviting server with fabulous recommendations. Can t wait to come back!

Food was delicious, need more staff however. We had to wait 30 mins before getting our food order in, then another 30 mins for the food to come. The server was awesome but she clearly needed much more help. Food was fantastic!

Went there for birthday celebration. Food, atmosphere and service are amazing! Will definitely visit again next time when we are in Huntsville!

Amazing food and service, they are on par with any Micheline grade restaurants in Toronto.

Food was delicious and service was spectacular

The best lamb and risotto Ive ever had. Bar none! Parking: Lots of parking Food : 5/5 |

Everything we had today was absolutely delicious! We had the paella, pork chops, Portuguese-style chicken, grilled octopus, crème brûlée, and custard tarts (pastéis de nata). It was our first time having Portuguese food since visiting Lisbon, and this made for a perfect authentic Portuguese dinner after a day of hiking in Algonquin Provincial Park. Highly recommend this restaurant! Whatever I ate was very delicious. We had paella, pork chops, Portuguese style chicken, grilled octopus, crème brûlée, and custard tart (nata). It was my first time having Portuguese food in Lisbon, and it was a great Portuguese dinner after a hike in Algonquin Provincial Park.

As a Portuguese born and bred Luso-Canadian I was truly pleased to learn about this place in the heart of Muskoka. I will start by saying I will return but there are some slight issues that made me a little disappointed. The outdoor patio is excellent and the interior dining room small but well appointed. Service was decent and attentive. My wife started with the quintessential Portuguese chouriço - Chouric o a Bombeiro. It is traditionnally placed in a ceramic grill specific for flaming it, you then pour alcohol and light it. The flame heats the Chouric o and releases the oils etc. Since it is already smoked and fully cooked it does not require cooking. Here they pregrilled it and then only slightly flamed it. Naturally, the meat was dry and way over salted. I had an Octupus salad which included capers and topped with watercress. Have never ever seen this. The salad was good. I had the grilled salt cod, bacalhau, my fav dish, other than sardines! The cod was high quality but slightly over cooked, thus dry in places. The grilled squid - Lulas Grelhadas- was decent but a little under cooked but flavouful. We both had Pudim Flan, which was good.

Expensive and tasteless. very unbelievably flavourless

Nice seafood and nice servers!

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful decor, cozy atmosphere, wonderful service, scrumptious food. Would 100% come back.

Maybe it s the result of Little Red Book, which is full of Chinese people. The few dishes we ordered were basically expensive, not delicious, and the portions were not large. Except for the seafood risotto, the portion size was okay. Its really not worth eating. The twenty-six two small sausages had nothing to go with them, they were burnt and hard, some were very salty and some were tasteless. The roasted chicken had no flavor either. It cost me 189 dollars and I was lonely. It is strongly recommended that Chinese people should not be fooled by this again.

I recently visited this restaurant on a Tuesday afternoon with a reservation, and while the restaurant was full with about 8 tables seated, the service was shockingly poor and discriminatory. Despite having a reservation, we waited at the entrance for 5 minutes without being greeted by the server. After being seated, it took an additional 10 minutes just to get a glass of water. When I waved to get the server s attention, he came over without any apology or explanation, merely introducing the menu as if the delay was insignificant. At first, we assumed the service was just slow due to the busyness, but then we noticed the stark difference in how our neighboring table, consisting of local people, was treated. The same server greeted them warmly, apologized for any wait, introduced the menu thoroughly, and even offered wine options. The discrepancy in service was blatantly clear, and it felt discriminatory toward us, as we are of Asian descent. If this restaurant cannot treat all its customers with the same respect and professionalism, regardless of their background, it should not be operating in Canada. This is unacceptable behavior, and it sends a strong message that certain groups of people are not welcome here. I hope the management takes this issue seriously and addresses it.

Only one waiter for all the tables in the restaurant. The waiter came to our table only 6 times during the 1.5hr meal. Also long wait time for our food.

The two meals I ordered looked good and tasted okay, but I will try other meals next time and wont order the same ones. The portion of paella is quite large, one person would be very full and unable to have dessert. The portion size of the fish fillet is normal, and you can have a dessert after finishing it. Normal western food price. The restaurant decoration is quite cute and the dining environment feels good. Parking: There are approximately 24 parking spaces

What a beautiful and authentic restaurant! Perfect service, fantastic food, lovely atmosphere.

Never had a bad meal here. Food is incredible.

I had an absolute fantastic dinner last night at Portuguese House - the place feels like dining at someone s home indeed- fresh high quality food and delicious- perfect serving- waiters are attentive and friendly- thank you for a great memory!

Amazing ! The place is beautifully furnished and decorated. Warm and pretty: simply cozy. The menu offers a varied and interesting choice of seafood. A whirlwind of flavors! Certainly the gastronomic gem of the sector, even of the region

Such an awesome place! Great vibe and excellent service, very friendly staff. We had the shrimp appetizer, sea bass and filet mignon they were all top notch. We ended the night with a passion fruit mousse (which they didn t have on the menu) and it was quite possibly the best dessert we ve had. Highly recommend coming here

In my opinion the best place to dine in Huntsville. I was there four time and every bite of every meal was spectacularly delicious. And the cream brulee is perfection.

Wow this place delivered beyond our expectations. The food was exceptional, tasty and satisfying. Highly recommended! Kudos to the chef!

Amazing all around and worth the price.

We came here for lunch and wow wow wow what a gem! The garden is beautiful, the patio is gorgeous and incredibly inviting as well with greenery and beautiful decor. My wife and I both had the grilled squid with risotto and the bread to start. I had a glass of Douro and cappuccino to finish. Everything exceeded expectations in terms of flavour and presentation. They even played authentic Portuguese music! Fantastic place. Wanna know something funny but cool? My fitness tracker literally said being here recharged by battery and dropped my stress significantly the place has such a good atmosphere. Dont miss your chance to eat here!

We wanted to love our experience because of the reviews but we were disappointed. The grilled calamari was flavourless and rubbery and the offer of fresh pepper was forgotten. Our waitress was lovely but service was slow. The grilled sardines were not cleaned properly and the veggies were tasteless and unevenly cooked. Our waitress took the sardines to the chef and was told that this is how they come in. We were still charged for the dish which we found surprising.

Highly recommend. Service and staff were very friendly. Food was top-notch. I definitely will be returning from Toronto.

Yet another 5 star review from this visitor. Really couldnt ask for much more from a restaurant. The ambiance and decor were cosy and classy. Service was great, despite being there at a fairly busy time. The food was excellent. Truly fine dining at a price thats still affordable.

We went for a family dinner on Aug 31. Everything about the experience was top notch. Service was friendly and attentive, food was absolutely to die for and the atmosphere on the patio was perfect. Both of our kids declared it as their new favorite restaurant.

Too much meat not enough vegetarian options

Went to arrowhead provincial park for a hike. Stay overnight at the holiday inn in Huntsville. We went on Sunday and booked reservation online for 8:00 pm surprisingly for this time it was busy but we booked ahead so were able to get seating for 2 ppl. Found this place on google and read the positive reviews and decided to try it out. It was a small establishment renovated from an old house. We had gone to Portugal last December 2023 and had octopus in Porto and came back and tried various places in Toronto but didn t find anything quite the same. Until I found this place while we were staying in Huntsville the food was definitely authentic and the octopus was really good not over cooked but cooked to perfectio. We found out from our server the owner was from porto. If you looking to find real authentic Portuguese food I would say definitely worth the drop in when in Huntsville. We had the octopus, calamari, soup of the day cabbage & sweet potato s, signature paelha, and arugula salad. For dessert we had the house made Portuguese egg custard tart. The food was very good and the service was excellent. To drink I had the Malibu pineapple drink and my husband the Portuguese old fashion.

Wonderful experience .service,food and ambiance.

The food was delicious and the service was attentive.

Awesome food, great service and lovely house

Truly amazing experience! Calamari is so great! Meant to come back again but we could not make it. Until next time

Incredible, can t wait to return!

We arrived at 5, the service was really good, service as well. Our dinner was delicious, my octopus well cooked and the paella delicious too. Food

We were lucky enough to travel to the Algarve-- South West Portugal. Mom and Dad guilted us into making the trip to their winter hideaway. We had no money, but off we went! A 3 day whirlwind Paris romp, then Discount Ryanair flight down to Faro. Long story not so short--- Peri Peri Chicken is a Regional Go To. ( Pronounced Peer Ree). Charbroil over wood or charcoal. Spice to wake your palette, but not Ghost Pepper stupid. If you cant fly off to Portugal this week, get a donkey and ride to Huntsville. Ontario, Canada- not the Alabama version. Tie your donkey up at 21 West Street South. Give it a carrot and an air kiss. Stroll past the expansive deck. Kind of a secret entrance at the back. Suddenly a welcoming staff member- probably the precocious Gabby. The family owned restaurants youngest expert in client relations...maybe 12 years? on the planet and more seasoned in customer experience than a Target trained cashier. I dodged the low hanging décor and found we were led to a Muskoka room table. Our preference. Humble locals, we were flanked by Fairy Lake cottagers on the left. Our local MP and family on the right. The person burdened with making our date night wonderful was relaxed, fun and real. Muskoka is filled with fake, but not here. Cataplana is authentic. Had that last time and loved it! However....the fire roasted Peri Peri Chicken is the foundation of this authentic menu. We purposely over-ordered for the left-overs. What a ridiculous term. Over order, and be happy you did. Portugeuse House is owner operated with love, skill and joy.

Yummy food. Beautiful decor. Very welcoming, family-run spot for a nice dinner. And the desserts were delicious too.

Just amazing!

Amazing food and the most wonderful service. This place is a hidden gem.

Fish dishes were perfect! Octopus salad and calamari grilled strongly recommended. Also would like to mention about very nice and cozy interior and small decorations inside.

Extraordinary dinner, like being in Portugal again

Excellent seafood risotto. 100% recommend.

This place is run by a family of good food people but I must tell you, the hostess at the door ( Gabbie the 10 year old ) will steal your hearts.. she went above and beyond to find me and my friends an I m possible table. We all fell in love with her.

Gabby will steal your heart when you arrive. The food and service are amazing. Reminds me of food we found on a recent trip to Portugal. You will keep coming back here.

Such a nice restaurant and family! One of the best to be honest in Toronto l!

Great atmosphere and service. Delicious food. We are so happy with the experience

Our family visited the Portuguese House in July while visiting Huntsville. The entire experience was fantastic. Family business with focus on traditional Portuguese meals. Rafael was knowledgeable and provided our family with exceptional service. The restaurant was decorated with traditional Portuguese pottery and tiles. We will definitely return during our next visit to Huntsville. Parabens on the new adventure Portugese House.

First time to this restaurant in Huntsville. We had the paella and seafood linguine- delish!!!!! Loved being able to sit outside on their new covered patio. Server was busy but delightful!

Wonderful food and atmosphere. Our server was able to recommend the most authentic Portuguese dishes on the menu, and we were not disappointed. Nice Portuguese wine selection as well. Highly recommended!

Food was phenomenal, patio is absolutely gorgeous

I highly recommend this restaurant. Authentic dishes,great food, family run place. Great job everyone. Looking forward to coming back.

My wife and I spent a few days in Huntsville for our anniversary, we had our dinner here and it was absolutely fantastic. Nice quiet room that was uniquely decorated. My wife had the French cut pork chop and I had the seafood risotto, both meals were incredible. Both dishes were prepared and served fresh and hot with incredible flavours, the risotto is a must, great base with the perfect amount of seafood, this dish is a MUST! Thanks to everyone at The Portuguese House for making our anniversary dinner fantastically perfect.

Great food, great service by Raphael, great atmosphere! Will definitely be back.

We went here on a Sunday afternoon during a rather miserable holiday weekend because it was raining. We were thourally impressed with the outstanding quality of the food. The wonderful atmosphere and the service were impeccable. Would definately recommend this lovely gem!

A Huntsville Gem. The Octopus salad is the best item on the menu.

Great meal, great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Ive lived in Portugal and this restaurant sends right you back there! The food is outstanding and atmosphere is delightful. This is the best Portuguese restaurant outside of Portugal. A million stars. Thank you for bringing this experience to Muskoka.

Cute little place, everyone is very friendly especially the little hostess Gabby at the front!

What a wonderful experience for a first time visit at Portuguese House, it certainly won t be the last one! Fantastic food, amazing staff especially Gabby, Raphael, and Adrienne. Loved it!

Truly delightful. Sit outside - worth the wait. The portions are generous and the lamb and octopus were amazing. Hard to get octopus right - they nailed it

5 stars all around. We went two nights in a row. Friendly and polite staff, cozy atmosphere, beautiful patio. Fresh ingredients. Even the individual vegetables that are on the side of your main dish are cooked to perfection.

Great little find in Huntsville. Perfect for when youre not into the standard big box type spots. Quaint atmosphere, great service and the food was amazing! Highly recommend!

Great food. Wonderful service.

It took us far too long to dine here. Will definitely be returning. Great little spot, easy parking, fresh atmosphere, superb food and friendly service. Relaxed vibe, lots of seafood options and good pricing.

Impeccable. Wonderful to have a restaurant of this calibur in Huntsville. Food, service, atmosphere all exceptional.

Wow! This place was amazing! From the beautiful decor to the delicious food and our really friendly lovely waitress this place met and exceeded all our expectations! Such a variety of delicious seafood options (and some super tasty meat ones too). We went in a big group for a birthday, they were really attentive, good came out promptly and was incredible, they are also very cute with birthdays! You must visit this spot!

So delicious I would drive the 2.5 hours to come back. Best portugese chicken I have had and I have tried many. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will most definitely be back.

Wonderful ambience, beautiful design, delicious food! Portions on a bigger size too!

The vibes were great on the patio. I had the seafood risotto and it was amazing. The chicken was also amazing

Best food in Canada.

Tasty food, portion is on the smaller side. Grilled calamari is really delicious! Service is great!

Dinner for Six, (posted 4 because of duplicate orders) everyone was happy with meals. I had Calamari with potatoes and Veggies. Was disappointed when I saw 2 tiny potatoes hiding with a sparse amount of Veggies, reasonably priced but not for the small sides I got. Would have been 5 stars for everything. Very nice family operated place, friendly cosy atmosphere.

Our new favourite restaurant in Muskoka. Everything on two separate visits were exceptional. Fresh seafood great appetizers and main courses and of course delicious wines and desserts. Standouts were the octopus salad, grilled calamari, rack of lamb and half roast chicken. The wines are interesting and the cost of dining is very reasonable. Service is friendly and on point. The fresh oysters need the muscle to be separated from the shell before serving. Will return often.

We really loved this family owned restaurant. From the decor to the authentic menu, everything was a hit! In fact, we enjoyed their Piri Piri sauce so much that we got a bottle of it to take home. We hope to make it back and try out other items on their menu.

Great restaurant food is tasty portions nice and nice presentation. Also great service. A must try

We were big fans of the previous establishment at this address, The Artisan House. Decided to see what the new restaurant was like. Very pleased with everything. Good and friendly service, really good food, seafood in particular. Prices in keeping with the area and the calibre of restaurant.

Service was slow to start as it was Saturday supper time and quite busy. Food was excellent. Hot and fresh with very generous portions.

Love everything about this place. Great food, service and the atmosphere is very inviting and relaxing. Repeat customers.

The food was fantastic, server was knowledgeable and attentive, we will be back!

Spectacular service and wonderful food.

Best portuguese restaurant I have ever eaten at. Top to bottom, menu was fantastic. Service is 100%.

Dinner for 14 people, food service and atmosphere was amazing. I can t say enough about how great this quaint establishment was. Would highly recommend

So warm, friendly and the food was delicious!! Beautiful family run restaurant with authentic portuguese cuisine. Highly recommend!!

First visit and food and server were awesome.

What a lovely meal we enjoyed here! The ambience and decor are very pleasant. The service is excellent, attentive but without us feeling rushed. And best of all, the food is delicious, from the starters all the way to the desserts. Looking forward to eating here again.

We went there for our 8th anniversary on April 27th. Our first time there and the food was amazing. Our server, Dawn was such a treat. Very friendly and attentive. We never waited for anything. The only criticism we could offer was that the enclosed balcony area we were seated at was very warm. So, we just opened the window beside our table and made do. Otherwise, a splendid evening and perfect way to enjoy our anniversary.

Absolutely fantastic meal and service. I d drive hours to come here (again)! 4 of us enjoyed the appetizer platter, salmon, halibut, sardines and pork shops, plus excellent wine, dessert and coffees. Charming, attentive family. What a gem Portuguese House is!

Wow !!! What a wonderful find in Huntsville. Ive been coming to Huntsville fron Toronto for over 10 years to visit friends and they told me this is their new favourite restaurant so I had to try it. I was NOT disappointed! Top notch service from the young lady pouring water in our glasses to the young man who took our order. I had the lamb chop and it wasbcooked to perfection. I cant wait to set out on the patio when the weather warms up and try all the items on the menu. Truly a gem.

I brought my husband to Portuguese House for dinner for his birthday. We will definitely be back! The food was excellent, the service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. He had the Franceshina a Porto, I had the Vegetable Risotto, and we shared the Portuguese Custard Tart with Ice Cream. All dishes were excellent!

Loved it. Been there twice and havent been disappointed. Food and service great. Prices are fair value.

Excellent restaurant.

It was an absolute delight all the way through! perfectly cooked fish and seafood, delicious wine, great staff and lovely atmosphere... Truly amazing

Absolutely loved it! Service so welcoming, fast and food was excellent. Brought someone who doesnt like seafood and they found lots of options to enjoy. I had the Squid and enjoyed it. The portuguese tarts were also a hit

Food and service was exceptional highly recommend.

The food was just amazing! Super nice people with my little one! We had a great time! Super recommend the octopus dish, I loved it.

New experience for us and we were not disappointed.

The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff is very nice. The food was fresh with fantastic flavours and perfectly cooked. Would recommend to everyone!

The service and food/wine was great.

Visited here all the way from brampton. Amazing food, the passionfruit cheese cake is our favorite

Had an wonderful meal, chiliean sea bass with tomato risotto and creme brulee for dessert, great service and great atmosphere. Will definitely go again

This place was an incredible pleasant surprise! From first contact making reservations, greetings at the door, ushered to our table, sat ,waters poured it was obvious a culinary journey was well on its way! and what a trip it was!!Our food was excellent well seasoned , balanced, hot, savory, and visually appealing. with exceptional service, nothing was awkward out of sync or out of place. All cylinders firing like a fine tuned sports car. We will absolutely return.

Group of 14. Probably a challenge at lunch time but the service was excellent and the food high quality. Everyone was quite animated and happy.

One of the best experiences I ve ever had in food and beverage! The food had so much flavor, and the portions were perfect. You definitely leave full. Service was aLeo amazing super friendly such a warm family vibe! Timing was perfect .i just can t rave enough about how lovely our experience was!

It was a very pleasant experience! We want to thank the cook, the servant and the designer of the interior of that cosy place!

We had a great meal, enjoyed the atmosphere and our server was excellent!

We loved it. Delicious food. Staff are super friendly. Love the Portuguese decor. The real thing.

Being a chef its hard to go out and find a restaurant that hits all the balls out of the park. My husband suggested we try this place for our date night and im so glad we did! The atmosphere was very cozy and intimate even though we had a patio table. The lights and soft music in the background really made us feel like we were away from home. We were greeted by the most beautiful 10 year old girl Gavi (or Gabby my apologies) and seated at a nicely set table on the patio. Our servers David and Raphael did not disappoint. They were very informative and helpful in choosing our wine and meals. We ordered the seafood platter and oh my gosh it was absolutely beautiful and delicious! It was served on a rustic wood platter with the most delicious sides. The dessert was just as great, we ordered the chocolate mousse and a passion fruit cheesecake. Wow! You can definitely tell that everything was made from scratch and with love! Big thanks to all the staff and thanks to Raphael for taking care of us! We will definitely be back!!! Kid-friendliness: We came with 2 children 5 and 9, they were treated very well, always asked if they needed a drink refill or if their food was okay. Great service. The kids both said this was the best food a d best restaurant they had ever eaten at.

I ve worked in fine dining for nearly 10 years. I know good food, good service and good atmosphere. This place seriously topped the cake. My mom and I came for dinner and immediately were welcomed with beautiful smiles and felt just like we were at home. Our server Paige was sweet, personable, and hilarious. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. The food was next level. We shared the octopus and squid entrees. Experience this place for yourself. You will not regret it!

My new favourite dining experience in Huntsville . Where to begin ? The ambience is understated, yet cosy and intimate. The wait staff, Page and Rafael, greeted and cared for us like friends and family. The decor is charming, and the chairs comfortable (this is often an issue for me). The complimentary (yes, I said complimentary ) grilled Portuguese cornbread and baguette was freshly baked in house with a fluffy dough and crunchy crust - simply amazing - accompanied by a luscious black olive tapenade (which I single-handedly devoured ) and an incredible house-made Piri-Piri sauce in a little jug. I m not ashamed to say I drank it directly from the jug after dousing my cornbread and my grilled Octopus main . We ordered Raspberry Point oysters accompanied by a lovely mignonette, Portuguese style shrimp, the flaming Chorizo with impeccable char, seafood linguine, and grilled Octopus. Everything was perfectly prepared and artfully presented - a feast for the eyes as well as the palate! Our servers recommended the Ponte de Barca rose wine and I can confidently say it is now my favourite Rose. As I drained my glass before the mains arrived, I also tried the Vinho Verde white - a delightful crisp wine made from green grapes and reminiscent of a Niagara Riesling . The Portuguese custard tart (the only thing NOT made in-house) was a perfect end to a fabulous meal with a cup of Americano. Kudos to the chef!!! Absolutely outstanding food, service and ambience - cannot wait to go back

the food was absolutely amazing! The service was great and the decorations were super cute! You guys should come here and definitely check out my favourite little waiter Gabby she was soooo cute! And the sweetest little waiter ever!

Awesome spot! The sardine bruschetta is the best! Also had the sausage and the sea bass which were also really good. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Deserving of the raving reviews. My partner and I came on a Friday evening and she absolutely loved it. We stayed in Huntsville for the weekend and this restaurant was the definitive highlight. We had a sea bass and a seafood risotto. Both were delicious. Service was amazing and prices were very affordable. Highly recommend.

First time there for supper , our meal was thoroughly enjoyable and so was the staff, will definately be a regular ,highly recommended.

My friend and I went to The Portuguese House about a week ago for lunch. It was our first time there. When I first walked into the restaurant I was impressed with the decor and ambience. There was soft jazzy Portuguese music playing. The restaurant itself is cozy with thoughtful touches. I arrived first and Rafael our server brought water and coffee. We both ordered off the lunch menu. My friend ordered the haddock and I ordered the calamari. Rafael also brought us complimentary garlic bread with an olive oil and an olive tapenade which was delicious. The calamari was perfectly prepared in a flaky coating served with a spicy sauce on the side and tartar sauce. My friend s lunch was perfectly prepared in a delicious tomato sauce with shrimp and puréed potatoes. For dessert my friend had the molotof flan and I had the Portuguese tart. Both were delicious. This lovely family owned restaurant is a gem. Pride of their heritage is evident in the decor, hospitality and their delicious dishes.

Warm inviting atmosphere, friendly professional service. The food was very high quality, authentic and delicious. Best dinner out my husband and I have had in ages. We definitely recommend and will be back!!!

Calling all Foodies and Seafood lovers! This newly opened restaurant, the Portuguese House pays hommage to this former location operated under the name, the Artisan House. Family owned and operated, this restaurants quality and care will NOT dissapoint. The menu is loaded with classic Portuguese dishes and the owners take a lot of pride in where they source their meat, most coming from the beautiful European shorelines. Short of taking a trip to Portugal, these dishes will transport you there, as you enjoy carefully curated food and wine. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. The servers take the time to educate you on dishes you are unfamiliar with and provide thoughtful recomendations. More than one third of the menu is seafood!!! Come down and try it today. But be ready to cancel your other plans, as this warm charming home may keep you here all night enjoying multiple night caps. Boa noite amigos.

Excellent menu and gracious staff. Highly recommended. Lots of great menu choices make me work forward to going back again and again.

Great place for date night or just lovely evening. It offers variety of Portuguese dishes, the food is delicious and healthy. Service is great

Our meal was delicious. The wine was great and the Portuguese tarts ... WOW

A pleasant surprise to find the Portuguese House restaurant in Huntsville/CAN (21 West St South). Me, my wife and my daughter loved it. The starters are delicious. I recommend the Alheiras, the tastiest Ive ever eaten, but the Portuguese style shrimp and the mixed green salad were also delicious. The main dishes of cod/salted cod fish and octopus/octopus lagareiro were also very tasty. The desserts are wonderful and I recommend all the ones I ate: Natas do Ceu, custard pudding/Molotof flan and pastel de nata with ice cream/Portuguese tart & ice cream. If youre in Huntsville, be sure to go to the Portuguese House restaurant, its super delicious.

It s a must - if you love food - this place will exceed all your expectations- wish I could give them 10 stars - exceeded expectations in all departments- food, top notch, customer experience the finest - everyone who works there is so friendly making everyone feel like at home. But the really superstar is Gabby, absolutely adorable kid.

A great place to experience authentic Portuguese cuisine . Good friendly service and ambience.

Dear Rafael family and staff who operates this fine establishment, we wish to thank you very very much for hosting us. We loved everything. Happy New Year!

Glad that we found this place!! Huntsville needs more restaurants like this!! First the decor is lovely and cute. Food is delicious and culturally distinctive. The portion of food is perfect and the presentation is awesome!! Staff is very familiar with the menu and gave us great recommendations. We tried octopus and a Portuguese sandwich tonight. Best octopus I ve had in Canada, soft and tender. Would come back again to try more!

Excellent restaurant. Food was fantastic and service was top end.

The food is amazing and worth every cent! Price-wise, we spent around $150 for 3 people, but it was packed with seafood so estimating the prices with what we ate, it was really worth it. I definitely recommend it (makes a good once-in-a-while restaurant). We ordered Calamari for an entree (well-cooked, but chewable and done to perfection!), then we ordered Risotto (had 10ish types of seafood, its pretty good) but be careful, sometimes there are small pieces of clam shells in there. We also ordered the chicken and the fries were fresh and amazing! The decoration was cozy and inviting too.

Our new favourite restaurant in town we frequent as often as we can love every single dinner we have had Portuguese shrimp,sandwich steak pork chop chorizo sausage cheeseboard servers Raphael and page are so professional and amazing genuine down to earth friendly people and little gabi is simply adorable and so smart they do not disappoint see you soon Pauline and Larry

First visit to this wonderful establishment and it certainly wont be the last! First off, the service is impeccable! Warm, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about their food. The decor is clean, inviting and very comfortable. Our lunch was superb and the recommendations were spot-on. My Cod Casserole was comfort food at its best, exactly as promised! The custard tart with vanilla ice-cream was the best we have ever had. We cant wait to return for dinner to experience more of their menu. Huntsville is very lucky indeed that this lovely family is here sharing their beautiful food with us. I wish them nothing but success with this endeavour. Highly recommend! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Amazing food and amazing service. Some of the best food I have had in a long time! I would definitely recommend but make sure to make a reservation.

Best seabass Ive ever had.

Excellent atmosphere, outstanding food, and great value. My favorite restaurant in Huntsville, hands down. The service was next level, and Gaby even sang Happy birthday to my wife, whose birthday we were celebrating. Another 5 star restaurant for this town..... Parking: They have their own , well learned parking lot. Kid-friendliness: The servers are super friendly and patient with the children.

We absolutely loved our whole experience at Portuguese House. Food, service and ambiance were all fabulous. The quality, flavour and presentation of the dishes far exceeded our expectation. It was such an anuthentic experience. Can t wait to go back!

Great food, great service.

Truly a memorable 60th Birthday Dinner with my Family. David was an excellent server and the food was so delicious. Thank you

Food, staff and atmosphere were on point! Easiest 5 star review. Gabby and her brother were so polite and awesome! Those two are going places. So refreshing to see. Thanks again and will be back soon!

Amazing food! Amazing service!

Love this place!! Great vibe, great food and amazing service!! Cant wait to come back.

Had an amazing evening with girlfriends. The seafood Risotto was amazing, wonderful flavour, full of seafood and served piping hot. The sardines were authentic, nice and smoky, sardine bruschetta delish. Nicely paired with the vino Verde. Amazing wait staff, attentive and great attitudes. Will definitely visit again!

First time at thr Portuguese House and it wont be our last. Its a busy place so reservations were required and we booked 4 days in advance to get a table. We were greeted kindly by a young hostess named Gaby she did a wonderful job leading us to our table. Obrigado. Service from David was great. He was attentive, quick and helpful. We started with a plate of warm bread served with olive tapenade and piri piri sauce. We ordered flaming Portuguese sausage and octopus salad as our starters. Followed by the evening special of 14oz rib eye and the seafood linguini. Our meals were very good and of good value! The steak was perfectly cooked. Only thing I would change next time is the fries, perhaps Id swap for something different. They were underwhelming. The seafood linguini was full of seafood and in a nice broth, however it was quite liquidy so the noodles didnt quite have that rich broth taste on every bite. But still good taste. Overall the food, atmosphere, and service was great and we will definitely be back!

Canada does not immediately excel in an original kitchen. Fortunately, there are exceptions such as this restaurant: an original menu, very tasty (fish) dishes, a pleasant setting, attentive service, ... And at a reasonable price. If one may give advice: nice wine list, but it could be a bit more extensive. Top restaurant !

What a great addition to Huntsville. The family owned restaurant is obviously being well received a full house! They offer a lovely selection of fresh seafood at great value. Overall the food, and the presentation, was as amazing as the staff. The hostess, little Ms Gaby, stole the show with her warm welcome and personal escort to our table. KB

i love the servers on how there so generous and genuinely nice and helpful very good food 10/10

Loved it! I started off with the shrimp, had the piri chicken as my main, and finished off with the cookie cake. The shrimp was delicious, a tad pricey for what it is. The chicken was so good! Loved the sauce so much. The portion of the chicken is a tad small though, as there is quite a bit of bone, and the fries could have been seasoned a little more. But wow, that cookie cake was amazing! Ive never had anything like it and it was delicious. My friend didnt have an app because she doesnt eat pork or seafood (and the chicken comes with a salad so no point in getting the salad as an app). My friend also agreed with my comments about our main. She absolutely loved the salad dressing though. Oh! And they also start you off with some bread with a side of piri piri sauce and tapenade. That was a nice little extra and my friend enjoyed the tapenade. The decor was so cute! Very refreshing with all the white and with pops of colour. However, the table that we were at, a table was directly behind each of our backs and I felt like I was almost sitting on top of their table. Overall, I will definitely be back!

Great food great vibes! David was extremely accommodating.

The food was incredible! So glad to have this place in our hometown. Kid-friendliness: High chairs and butter pasta for the kids available. Food : 5/5 |

Family run business. So friendly. Food is 5 star. Great drinks. We are slowly making our way thru menu as a family. Going for dinner again tomorrow night.

Great place for Portuguese food! We ordered their Portuguese style shrimp for appetizers, today s special baked cod with potatoes and cheese and seafood risotto for main dish, big portion and absolutely delicious! The staffs are very friendly! Highly recommend this restaurant and definitely will come back next time!!

We had heard good things about the Portuguese House (opened early summer), so took our daughter for dinner on her birthday. Note: Be sure to make a reservation. They are busy! Firstly, flavours we all good, and well be back. Service was timely, friendly, and fun. Atmosphere was good, with eclectic decor, we we loved. However (and we do believe this to be a one off), some of our dishes had inconsistent cooks. 1) lamb (that nights special) had 5 ribs, each with a different cook (medium was ordered, but was a mix of med-rare to well). Delicious, but inconsistent. 2) seafood risotto was very tasty, and the first time my daughter had this dish. Flavors were good, and the seafood cook was good. However it was a bit soupy. (She still loved it) 3) I had the filled mignon, med-rare. I suspect that it was cooked at too low of a temperature based on the colour, and may have been warmed from a partial pre-cook because it was medium-well on the top-half and blue-side of rare on the bottom half. Again, also delicious, and the sides were good. 4) Grilled calamari- the main body needed to be cooked (grilled) a tad longer as was still chewy, but (you guessed it) the flavours were great. The other appys were good (had the sardine bruschetta and oysters). Dessert was great (we each had something different and all liked what we got). We also had cocktails. I enjoyed the portuguese old-fashion, and everyone liked the sangrias. All in all, we recommend as the flavours are definitely there, and the cook is likely a one off. The server asked if we wanted to recook, which we declined as it was still good (very tasty!). We will be back, and DO recommend visiting (just remember to make a reservation).

Such a lovely place. My family and I had a wonderful experience. The staff was so kind and lovely. The food was awesome, it really felt that I was back in Portugal again. We definitely will be back and recommend this portuguese restaurant to all my friends. Food : 5/5

A great experience with wonderful service with a menu that had good options and the food was delicious.

Thank you for giving us a wonderful evening. Very nice food and service

It was the most pleasant evening. Delicious food and a waitress that gets 10/10. Thank you for making my husbands birthday so special. Very homey and welcoming

Excellent food ! Will be back :)

Highly recommend this one!! I m so glad I picked this place and had lunch here - decent and confronting interiors, great service with first class cuisines! You never go wrong with their seafoods. Seafood risotto and octopus are so mouth watering! We also ordered Portuguese custard tart, it s in their hidden menu, try it and you ll not regret! I ll miss it so much from Toronto.

Best of the best places in Muskoka. Family owned and authentic Portuguese food better than being in Portugal. Seafood was the cooked to perfection.

nice and cozy restaurant!! a must visit

Great service, great food, great vibes. Highly recommended

The food is delicious, server was great. No complaints, one of the best restaurants in town.

Highly recommend! This restaurant is a gem of Huntsville. This was our first time visiting today. Surprisingly the vibe was great, the food was amazing, and the server was so friendly with a lovely smile. Both of my soul and stomach were so satisfied after the meal, definitely will come back again! Dietary restrictions: Seafood.

Everything is done to perfection here. Excellent food and outstanding service.

As good as any meal we had in Portugal. Octopus melted in my mouth. Cod casserole was fantastic. Sangria also great. And to top it all off the custard tart was equal to the best in Lisbon! Food

They were able to accommodate a large group of us on Thanksgiving for a late dinner. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and vibrant.

We were a party of 4 and thoroughly enjoyed an evening out of authentic Portuguese food. We had the grilled squid, octopus salad and sea bass. The presentation and portions of the dishes were all delicious and satisfying. The place was cozy, reflective of Portuguese decor and it was lovely to have soft background Portuguese music. It is a family run business with hired help. They are amazing, attentive and super friendly. This gem of a place is a wonderful additional in Huntsville. We hope they stick around and we will definitely be back. Madalena, Ligia, Abílio & Joe

Such a cozy restaurant with the most delicious food and amazing service!
