Delicious Portuguese food! The owner served us all night and was wonderful, super attentive and kind. He felt bad because a couple of other tables were noisy (not their fault at all) and was very kind to pour us a delicious glass of wine as a sort of make up gift. Highly recommend!

We stopped for lunch here while visiting downtown Toronto. It's a cute little restaurant with very good service. It was a hot day and we were happy to sit in air-conditioned comfort. Our waiter Francisco was very friendly and helpful. We ordered a couple of plates of Chorizo for appetizers. That was really tasty. The grilled sea bass, sardines and the fettuccine were delicious. My sister-in-law and I ordered the eggs & cod. Very generous portion, but the dish was a bit bland. But overall we enjoyed our meal.

Awesome little gem in Toronto! Great customer service and awesome food! Our server was super friendly and took good care of us. Food was served quick and tasted delicious. We had caldo verde (collard greens soup) and pork cutlet sandwiches. Great prices for the quality of food!

Loved this place! Went with my son to have a little taste of Portugal. The owner was friendly and happily shared information about the food when we asked for suggestions based on our taste. Definitely coming back for more next time we visit Toronto.

Food was satisfying, simple and delicious. Absolutely busy with locals on a Sunday afternoon in Kensington Market. We sat under the canopy to protect ourselves from rain. Enjoyable and affordable pitchers of beer along with the most dense Portuguese chocolate mousse for dessert. Truly incredible. Service was quick but delivery a little slow due to the number of tables occupied. Overall very good and friendly experience. I would recommend.

A quaint little Portuguese restaurant in Kensington Market with a nice patio to sit in and people watch while enjoying a delicious meal. The service was excellent and the food even more so! I recommend the BBQ Chicken.

★★★★★

The best Portuguese food in the city. The service is the best! They treat you like you are family here. Get the cod cakes they are fresh made to order. So light and fluffy on the outside with the most subtle crisp outside. The shrimp, was delectable spicy and I used all the bread to sop up the sauce. We had “The Revolution” which is a seafood platter 10/10 all of the fish was fresh and tasty! We also had the surf and turf, the steak was cooked perfectly and so was the giant shrimp! Highly recommend this place!

Drinks and service were good, but the patio smelled like sour milk

★★
September 22, 2024

Quite the disappointment. This establishment came highly recommended by close friends, and based on other reviews, I decided to give it a try. I ordered their much-praised BBQ chicken and the grilled Fresquito shrimp. First, the BBQ chicken was a disaster: - It was undercooked, especially the thighs, and looked nothing like the photos in the other reviews. Instead of a golden, grilled appearance, it seemed and tasted as if it had been boiled and then lightly fried. - The chicken itself was utterly bland, missing even basic seasoning like salt and pepper. There were no discernible BBQ flavors from the chicken or the sauce, which was devoid of boldness. A well-balanced BBQ sauce should be a combination of sweet, tangy, and savory; this lacked all three. - The fries accompanying the dish were another disappointment. The hallmark of a quality kitchen is attention to detail, even in the simplest sides. These fries were clearly frozen, uniform, and uninspired, a far cry from the thick, hand-cut fries you d expect in an establishment of this caliber. If this is a recent change, which appears to be from the other reviews, it s certainly a downgrade. For the price Amadeus charges, and the standard it claims to uphold, I found the quality and taste to be lacking. The Fresquito shrimp dish included four large shrimp, a small portion of rice, a few sautéed greens, and a side of their same BBQ sauce. The presentation was simple, and the portion size felt modest for the $40 price. Even with quality seafood, the price should reflect more creativity and substance. While the shrimp were well-cooked, the dish didn t offer enough to justify the cost. All in all, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this place.

★★★★★
August 22, 2024

I wanted to try something a bit different for a meal, and thought that Amadeus looked worth exploring. It turned out to be a good choice! There is a good range of dishes to choose from, and I started with a chilled gazpacho which packed quite a punch - very flavoursome, and the ideal starter for a hot day! This was followed by grilled sardines, with an accompaniment of potatoes and peppers, all well presented and a worthy follow up to the gazpacho. The mojito mocktail was a fitting end to the meal, being light and refreshing. Service was efficient, and provided by a very pleasant waitress who genuinely appreciated how much I liked the meal. Even if you think Portuguese cuisine isnt your thing ... Well, maybe Amadeus will change your mind.

★★★★★
August 22, 2024

What a delight to find Amadeus. I m a Portuguese Canadian and I so miss my bitoque (Portuguese steak and egg in a pimenta sauce) when I m back in Canada. Amadeus is the first place I ve found on this side of the Atlantic that does this dish right - took me right back to the islands and the continent. My husband loved his grilled sardines and my sister and nephew declared the bifanas a success. The pasteis de bachalau (codfish croquettes) were fresh and hot hot hot! Excellent conversation and service with the gentleman who took care of us. Thanks for helping me practice my Portuguese!

Please dont subtract one star although I am biased in this review. I just love the place and the owners. Ill try to be as impartial as possible. I really enjoy the food there. Its great Portuguese fare just like mama used to make. If you stumble across the late Steven Daveys review on Now Magazine please be warned that he wrote one review back in the 90s and then he rehashed it every year, word for word. Are things a bit too salty? Perhaps, for a non portuguese palate, I can accept that. I like to think that Amadeus is a cafe/restaurant with many faces. You have the dining room area where you can feel very comfortable bringing a date or a business partner. You have the summer time patio which is a great place to just kill a few hours with a few beers. Its at a great corner of Augusta and Denison Square, overlooking the park. And then you have the more blue collar bar area where you can expect loud Portuguese guys watching soccer. Ive been going there close to 20 years.

1st time visit for me, my dining colleague had been many years ago. We shared the cod fish cakes, which were absolutely delicious. We shared Amadeus Revolution for One, which came with a half crab, half lobster, muscles, class, prawns, fried calamari, rice, carrots, broccoli and a house sauce. Absolutely perfect. We finished with a cheese platter, and it was all washed down with a delightful medium bodied house red. Loved the service, the food, and the recommendations. Will be back to try the whole seabass, sardines, burgers, and steak ... might need a few visits!

We had the pan-fried prawns, shrimp bisque, portuguese style steak, grilled cod, sanghria, caipirinhia and decaf coffee to wash it all down. The steak was the best Ive had since mid-2020, when a restaurant in St. Louis briefly opened after the initial covid closures and had 70+ day dry-aged steak. Lucky discovery on our first night in Toronto. Couldnt have been a better fit for what we were looking for tonight. Service was splendid, best of our trip thus far. Thank you.

Horrible experience. I have egg allergies and I asked if the fish has eggs inside the stomach because that will give me a reaction too, and they said no. And I eat some and find eggs in the fish. I got an allergic reaction and told them there are eggs in it. I understand these things happen, but they should have been aware. Also I told them I can t pay for this and they said of course not. And they asked me if they can make anything instead of this food. I said no I am fine but they kept offering me and told me they don t want me to go home hungry and I didn t have to pay. So I genuinely appreciated them trying to fix the situation despite what happened, and they made me another dish to take home. And guess what they tried to charge me for the food. I was so shocked. They did not care about me not able to eat eggs or me having a bad experience. Just the money. I was very very disappointed and it absolutely ruined my day!!!!!!!

Party of 4. Our first time here. The calamari was frozen, out of a bag and fried. The pork sandwich was a hard pass. The meat had a processed look and feel. Flat and rubbery. Frozen vegetables on the plates. When we sent the calamari back and the server recommended we take their grilled calamari plate instead, we agreed. But we were charged for that plate and not what we originally ordered. Piri chicken plate was nice. Collard green soups was not seasoned well - bland. Guzpaco soup was delish. Our server was a sweetheart though. Do better with that menu, please.

Nice restaurant. Food was tasty enough and the service was good. I wasnt wowed by the food or value or anything but I wasnt disappointed and you shouldnt be either. I got the salted codfish and about a quarter of the fish (in the pictures) was bone and spine. Id suggest maybe provide a larger portion of fish to account for the hefty amounts of bone. The salmon was tasty and afterward, I felt like I shouldve just ordered that so I couldve had a whole dish to myself. I ate a piece of my friends salmon. Pretty good so Id suggest that over the cod fish. Cod fish just isnt worth it considering you have the salmon there to order and they both are comparable in taste and price. You just get more food with the salmon because there isnt a large bone through the fish. Service was good as well. No complaints there. Kudos. Cocktails were just ok. We got a margarita and a caprihina. Both made with bar lime and not lime juice so a bit sugary and not a cocktail made with care so just fine.

The server brought us a glass of white, so we said no, we d like to try the red please. Next thing we know we had the passive aggressive manager/ owner asking us if we want to order the white or red. He seemed very rude, and made us feel completely unwelcome! Skip this place. Go to the Italian place next door!

December 22, 2023

Absolutely horrible experience. We went on a Saturday afternoon and sat inside. The place was full of flies. We ordered grilled cod fish and vegetables, and it was so rotten smelling, tasted so bad that we were about to throw up. Then to top it off a large fly dropped right into our plate and died on top of the fish. It was such a bad experience. The food tasted horrible, zero quality. And the server was rude on top of that. Not worth $60. So disappointed. It s hard to mess up grilled vegetables and fish but this place managed to do that very well.

It was Monday. A cold Monday, frigid. We were desperate. We were walking, distraught. Me and my baby. We didnt know what to do. We kept going into restaurants and backing out .. slowly. It didnt feel right. Until we walked into Amadeus. We felt right at home, as though we were Portuguese ourselves. The server, a handsome man, charming, respectful, knowledgable, came to us with a wry smile and knowing wink in his steps, with a care for our every moment, as a professional. He asked, well what do you desire? Well, well, well. The world. And we got it. What did we have? We had the best. Cod, shrimp soup to die for, wonderful bread we didnt even know about, cod cakes from heaven, the freshest vegetables as though plucked from the garden mere seconds prior. It was a memory that we took pictures of and will last forever. The decor transported us to Europe for like zero travel expense. The music? Classy and relevant. The water? Probably filtered! The cost? Way lower than expected. I thought I was going to get a $400 bill. Turns out it was less than a hundred. An absolute steal. I feel guilty. I didnt deserve this. Give this server a raise.

We went there with my boyfriend to celebrate my bday and had a lovely experience. Food tasted great and came fast. Their shrimp was absolutely delicious! Their patio area is nice and heated, its placed in a corner of Kensington Market, so we didnt have problem with noise; or pedestrians coming too close We ended the night with dessert and a coffee

A mediocre Portuguese restaurant in the heart of the iconic Kensington Market, seems to have passed its prime. I was very disappointed that the dining room was not open and unable to leisurely dine in European style. The patio and bar area is large and very busy. The grilled cod was way overly cooked, very dry with lots of bones. But served with generous amount of Portuguese olive oil, reasonably priced, friendly and helpful staff.

Love the vibes at this cozy yet elegant family restaurant. Where to start... Portuguese food as it should be! Delicious portions, homemade hot sauce, and the seafood selection was amazing! Cocktails were summery and delicious, the sangria being one of my favorites! Came here when there was live music and the band was looking as good as they sounded. Dinner was the best! Staff and service were attentive and patient and made me feel at home. The patio heaters are always a plus.

Great place with an equally great patio in the Market. This place has been here for decades and has stood the test of time. It has great portuguese food and you can even order a bowl of Lupini beans, with Portugues home made Pepper sauce, to munch on with your beer or wine while you wait for your food. They have excellent seafood and Cod fish. It is also a great place to go on a summers night and have drinks with friends, share stories and people watch.

Amadeus is a wonderful Portuguese restaurant with an expansive patio. The menu includes traditional dishes, such as the cod fish pictured here. Although not on the menu, they even had vinho verde by the glass. The patio wraps around the restaurant. One side has a full cover, giving constant shade. The other has umbrellas for light shade and is more in the sun. Service was a bit slow, as there was only one waiter to deal with everyone. But we werent in a hurry.

We are disappointed by the food quality. The fries are not fresh and the burger doesnt taste much better than MacDonald burgers..The veges are not fresh and there were barely any. Im not sure whether the food quality has significantly decreased because they are trying to cut costs on the ingredients. My friend described the steak she ordered as terrible. We wanted to share the feedback with the staff but they didnt have a good attitude receiving it or wanted to improve.
