I visited with my husband and my baby and I was a bit worried that he might get restless, but the staff was incredibly kind and lent us a toy to keep him entertained. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. The portions were huge, so we didn't have room for dessert. My partner and I loved it, and we'll definitely be back.😃
Delicious, I ordered multiple dishes for my wife and I to try out. They put great care into their service. We’ve been to Portugal many times and the food is prepared with great attention to detail and is very authentic. As a restaurant, Vagueira excels in all categories. Looking forward to going big the next time I’m in the neighborhood and ordering the Arroz de Marisco.
Had an amazing meal for an incredibly reasonable price. All dishes were made with top ingredients and cooked to perfection and to order. The prawns in piri piri started us out and then we had the beef and the goat. Tender, delicious and authentic. Portions are way too generous and a carafe of wine is priced at $9 and will likely encourage you to drink perhaps a bit more than you might otherwise. Service is superbly friendly and the atmosphere including the music and decor makes you truly believe you are back in Portugal. Repeat visit for sure.
Vagueira Restaurant is a wonderful spot with authentic flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The seafood dishes are fresh and well-prepared, and the portions are generous. Service was friendly, though a bit slow during busy times. Overall, a great place for a quality meal!
Hidden gem, family owned and always great service. This is our go to spot for portugese food in the city. The best grilled chicken I have ever had, very moist and not overly salty. Make sure to order the homemade chips.
Months ago I made a huge order for my work at Canada Post and they definitely delivered great food and service without a glitch. Today I was off and my son begged for Portuguese chicken and I decided to get some takeout for us. Again! It was perfect. The place looks and reminds me of the cool little places in Portugal and I plan on eating in one day!
I was just passing by and came across this absolutely amazing place. First of all, the atmosphere is so reminiscing of small neighbourhood cafes in Lisbon, where everyone speaks Portuguese, watched football and have a pleasant conversation with basically every visitor. Secondly, food. One of the best places in Toronto in terms of the ratio of the portions’ size, taste and price. I had a beef steak with an egg and fries, and it was absolutely delicious. Thirdly, the staff is super friendly. All in all, if I could give this place 10 starts, I would.
Hidden little gem and there's a reason why this place is packed. Amazing home cooked style food. Some of the best comfort food around.
We both had the Bife à Casa and what a great choice! The steak was cooked to perfection, home fries from scratch and the sauce was just delicious! And to add, the staff were fantastic! Highly recommend! Food : 5/5
Place was amazing, great service, friendly staff, food was great with perfect size portions. Definitely a must go

The ambiance is homey whether you re Portuguese or not. Family owned and each one of them introduced themselves. Such a sweet family. Service was very fast and the food was absolutely amazing. Authentic Portuguese food. The BBQ chicken was cooked to perfection and seasoned amazingly. Each desert tastes great! Would 100% recommend to everyone!
Great place to go if you want a home cooked meal but dont want to cook. Its a nice place, very clean and you can tell they take pride in this place. The food is good and the older couple that was there were both sweet.

AMAZING home cooking Portuguese style!!
Came by here yesterday, my spouse has been going to the restaurant since their first location on weston & has been a customer of theirs for 5 years. Let me tell you the experience we had yesterday (me being a first time at this restaurant) for lunch was AMAZING. We ordered the shrimp for the entrée & it was fresh & delicious, my spouse ordered the Picanha with fries, beans, and rice: it was perfectly grilled, the rice was amazing too and everything else ofc. I had the salmon.. and let me tell you it was one of the best that Ive had in a while.. it was amazing, perfectly salted, perfectly grilled.. was super fresh sided witn the veggies and potatoes and olive oil.. amazing. For dessert we had the homemade chocolate mousse & once again did not disappoint, was super fresh & really rich. Also one of the best Ive had thus far. Servers & the owner are also super friendly, always with a smile on their face. Will definitely be returning here.
Great authentic Portuguese food! Try the clams! Next time will try thr Piri Piri shrimp!
Hidden gem with lots of delicious Portuguese food at great prices. The specials change daily and lots of home style food that is extremely well cooked with lots of flavour.
Very nice place , good food, friendly staff great place to enjoy with family and friends .
This Portuguese restaurant is absolutely amazing by far one of the best in Toronto to go experience a real Portuguese food.
Great tasting food and quick and friendly service.A+
Always great food value and service Parking: All good Food : 5/5 |
One of my family s favourite restaurant to goto on the weekend. We always enjoy ordering the chicken since their chicken and hot sauce are some of the best that we found in Toronto. The staff at the restaurant are always nice and quick with everything. It s an amazing restaurant and our family will continue to support it.
Very good food and service at a reasonable price.
This is a small but great place to eat, the food is so delicious
Nustled in a traditional strip mall they location does not do it justice! Great food ample parking! Food rates just like mom used to do it!!
I finally tried this place for the 1st time today and I love it. I tried a traditional codfish dish and I like their version better then my own familys. The staff was super nice and the portion was huge. Cant wait to try some more of their dishes.
After reading reviews of this restaurant, I decided to check it out. So went over today with my friend. Its a charming family run establishment. Very authentic in ambience, cuisine and everything. I was enchanted with the menu - handwritten in Portuguese on a piece of paper. And that one piece of a paper menu goes from table to table!!! I found this very appealing, it somehow added to the authenticity of the place. Hardly any one speaks English and we had to get one young woman working there to translate the menu to us and she had to struggle a bit with the translation The food is very tasty and of generous portion size. I ordered pork with potatoes and rice, my friend ordered the bacalhau (cod) and we split a skewer of beef. All so good and very filling. My friend had a glass of Portuguese port and I had 2 rounds of Portuguese beer. We were sooooo stuffed that we could not relish the delicious looking caramel custard and expresso. However I will certainly go there again. O one more thing, seemingly small but very charming... The senior gentleman, who is a family member, is very attentive and welcomes each patron with a complimentary appetizer - crusty tasty pieces of bread stuffed with choriso and olives on the side. A very nice touch which doesnt go unnoticed. I enjoyed my dining experience here and I highly recommend this great family run restaurant.
Great place. Good food
Stumbled upon this place and cant wait to go back. Authentic Portuguese food with great atmosphere and great people
Great as always
Wonderful family restaurant. Real Portuguese food. Prepared fresh. Very rare in these days. Fair and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
This place is awesome. The old fellow is very inspirational. Hopefully i could have his strength at his age. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable
Love the place really great food and not to expensive.
Great local portuguese eats. Pickup counter. Patio and seating. The people treat you as family and serve you as family.
Food is delicious but portion was very small I got a 1/4 chicken meal with a drink for 17$ I have ate here before in the past at other location and you used to get a lot more food. I also eat at a lot of Portuguese take out all over the city this is the smallest plate I have got to this date. Maybe times are tough now Covid definitely ruined a lot of things.
Amazing place!! Great food and excellent customer service. Highly recommend it. I love the home made bread
Love the place. Good food, cosy atmosphere, feels like home. Such a typical but exquisite place.
Had a delicious octopus, roasted peppers and potatoes dish. It was scrumptious! It was suggested that I heat it up, but I couldnt wait to dig in till I got home to try it. It was perfect. Very generous portion and super tasty flavors! Dietary restrictions: Just assuming! Parking: Lots of parking available. Kid-friendliness: Beautiful store owner! I am sure the kids will be accomodated and welcomed! Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor. No stairs.
Food was really good, fish filet was delicious
Fantastic Meal and Service! Parking: Free and lots available.
Got some takeout the other day but had to mention the food. My friend was the one who actually put in the order so I don t know the name of the dish but they have this awesome beef stew, was quite delicious.
I dont recommend it at all, terrible the food 0 I ordered a fish and it was impossible to eat! It came served with some very bad looking vegetables, at first bite I couldnt continue... Im sorry but it was the truth, I was very disappointed
There for is amazing. always a friendly environment. They make you feel like family.
Great food, excellent friendly service
I had their cozido. 5/5 - absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is really beautiful inside, and looks very clean and elegant. Everyone was really kind there as well!
Best Portuguese restaurant I ve even been to in my life and trust me I ve been to many Portuguese restaurant before. The owner and server were so nice and even recommended off the menu dishes that were soooooo amazing! First taste gives me shivers because of how good it was! Their seafood dishes are one of the best and their meat dishes are definitely on point! A message to the owner, I hope you guys stay strong during this pandemic and never close because your food is incredible! On top of that, Thanks to high park brewery for letting us eat the food at this restaurant food in their brewery.
Good quality food
Amazing food and service. Our server was very friendly. Honestly one of the best restaurants Ive been to in Toronto and that includes high end restaurants where you pay 100 dollars for a dish. Prices are very reasonable.
Pleasant
