I was invited for a business lunch to this exceptional restaurant . The interior is warm and luxurious with a hint of subdued elegance. The menu has an excellent selection of fish & seafood prepared in many variations, not to mention fish is flown in from Portugal. The staff are attentive and the maître d as well as hostess provide a refined level of service . I thoroughly enjoyed Grilled filet of Grouper cherry tomato, jalapeño salsa and a Portuguese beer . The food was delicious and delectable.This is definitely on my list of restaurants to have a romantic & elegant dinner with my wife.

The service was impeccable. Our server guided us through the menu and even brought out a tray of sample with different kinds of Portuguese fishes they have. The place has real authentic Portuguese food and the ambiance took me back to my childhood trip to Europe. From the paintings to how it was decorated it was truly a little Lisbon in Toronto. I recommend trying the monk fish and for appetizers the chorizo.

Chiado's has been there a long time— I'd always liked it, delicious high-end Portuguese seafood and great chops. A bit old fashioned some said back then— but they also have a cutting edge modern room and bar. But I've recently “rediscovered” Chiado and its better than ever. I've been 4 times in the last 6 months. The food is exquisitely prepared but not precious, served by formal servers in an elegant but not snobby room full of a diverse range of customers. Expensive but so special right down to the deserts (try the fresh berries sealed in a hand dipped chocolate cage). Its an elegant grown-up night out. The raw marinaded sardines are even better than the cooked option imo— but both are available. Can't wait to go back! K. A. Troubetzkoy

We've been to Chiado many times and it never disappoints. Outstanding dishes, great service, superb wines. Truly one of the best the Portuguese culinary scene has to offer in Toronto
Visited here for dinner and thought the food was tasty. The chorizo and Natas do Ceu were both exceptional so both are definitely worth a try. We also loved the complimentary bread. The monkfish was cooked very well but I felt the sauce to be a little overpowering.The biggest problem I had was with our waiter (remembered he had a french accent). He was so cold, didn't even greet or introduce himself, never smiled, and never said goodbye after we finished eating. The waiter (bald with glasses) at the table beside us, however, was really nice and even offered to take our plates away when our waiter was not present so I wish I could have given him a tip. I also overheard the waiter at the table beside us explain the specials, something our waiter never did.

Antonio and Mariah took such great care of us. This staff clearly has their fine dining training down like the back of their hand. From greeting to wine service, timing to charisma - Chiado is unparalleled in the service department. Cannot stress how amazing the food is. Chef Sergio and the team have every technique and presentation mastered. Complex flavours and presentation without the stuffiness one would expect at this calibre. Amazing all around and I will be back soon!
Great place to share fine Portuguese dishes and wine with

Enjoyed my evening here. Celebrated my girlfriends birthday, we weren't interested in any dessert because we were so full, however our waiter was kind enough to bring my girlfriend and I over a glass of port wine along with a candle. Lovely night.
The food was amazing and very delicious. It was presented well and the portions were a good size as well. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable which is nice. I highly recommend the calamari, you won’t regret it. Overall, lovely place to have dinner with friends, family or a date.
