J'ai adoré mon expérience au Portofino!

Le service, la nourriture & l'ambiance étaient tout simplement exceptionnels. Le filet mignon était cuit à la perfection, exactement comme demandé.

Une excellente adresse que je recommande sans hésiter. J'y retournerai avec plaisir!

The food was really good, the escargot was a lot more than expected. Our waiter, Steven, was really nice & humorous. Great service & food! Would definitely come back & recommend others to try! Would suggest booking a reservation as they don't have a lot of seating indoors.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Portofino Brasserie Italienne is, without question, my favorite restaurant in Quebec City.

My wife, my sister-in-law, & I came from Montreal this past Friday to celebrate my birthday, & once again they made the evening unforgettable. A special thank you to Elder, one of the managers, who went above & beyond to accommodate us & make us feel completely at home. The warmth & hospitality truly reminded us of being in Europe-genuine, welcoming, & attentive.

Our servers, Paula & Fernando, were absolutely fantastic. They were professional, friendly, funny, & made the entire evening so enjoyable. We laughed, enjoyed incredible food, & created wonderful memories together.

I visit Quebec City about four times a year, & this is the only restaurant where I go for dinner. The food, the atmosphere, & especially the exceptional service keep bringing me back.

I highly recommend it & you should try the beef tartare. It's the best I've ever tried.
Just be sure to make a reservation in advance-it's well worth it!
