I recently dined at Portofino Brasserie Italienne & was truly impressed. I tried their pasta, & it was absolutely outstanding - perfectly cooked with that authentic al dente texture, & the flavors were rich, balanced, & memorable. You can really taste the care & attention to detail in their preparation.
The mocktails - Red Ruby & CocoLime - were refreshing & well balanced.
The atmosphere of the brasserie adds to the experience: warm, inviting, & elegantly styled, making it a great place for both casual dining & special occasions. The service was also attentive & welcoming, which made the evening even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for authentic Italian flavors & pasta done right, I highly recommend Portofino. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu!
It was our last night in Quebec City & we were looking for a nice place for dinner! Our concierge recommended Portifino. We were not disappointed. Portifino offered the atmosphere we were looking for, & the food was amazing! Our server, Steven, was attentive, charming & funny! We wish we had discovered this place earlier in our visit!
Tonight (Monday) was our first of 5 nights in Quebec City ahead of a cruise to Boston.
We decided to try Portofino. We made an online reservation for 7:30 pm. We arrived on time & waited maybe 5 minutes before being seated. All the outdoor tables were full so the two of us sat at a low 4-top inside not far from the kitchen.
Water was brought right away. Our server then took our drink, appetizer & entree orders.
We each had a pint of Stella beer on draft & we shared an order of their Focaccia bread, served with butter & a dish of olive oil & balsamic vinegar. The beer was cold & because it was draft, not from a green bottle, no skunk smell or taste :) The Focaccia bread isn't what we make in the States, but it was find. More of a soft, yet dense bread, topped with herbs. For $3 CAN, it was a deal.
Later on, the Casesar salad was brought out. It was a generous portion & was plenty for the two of us to split. The dressing was tasty as was the shaved Parmesan cheese & the house made croutons.
Later, our Cannelloni entree came. It was in an oval dish that had been baked. The full order came with 2 Cannellonis. Here again, plenty for two people to share. It was stuffed with a meat & cheese mixture.
We were too full to be tempted by their dessert menu.
Our friends arrive from the US in a couple of days, so we've made another reservation here at Portofino for the four of us.
The only downside to Portofino was that it is popular & busy, so it was a bit loud inside.
Ein italienisches Restaurant in Kanada. Kann das gut gehen? Nicht wirklich.
Am Anfang hatten wir als Vorspeise ein leckeres Brot (sie nannten das Focaccia, ist aber nicht) und frischen grünen Salat. Beides sehr gut und frisch.
Die Enttäuschung kam aber mit beiden Pasta Gerichten. Komplett überkochte Nudeln, die den Genuss verdorben haben.
Das Nachtisch haben wir uns danach nicht mehr getraut.
