“ A beautiful gem of a restaurant. My friend and I enjoyed a relaxing and delicious dinner. The servers were all wonderful, so friendly and attentive! I had the monk fish as my main dish and it was fantastic! I will definitely go back next time I visit Toronto. ”
“ We celebrated our anniversary here and everything was perfect! We are seafood lovers so we were very excited about the options on the menu. The server showed us different fresh fish that were available that night and explained how each would be cooked in great details. We ordered pan seared black scabbard fillet with risotto and the dry seafood soup with lobster and clams. Both were amazing!! The service was exceptional and we really enjoyed our night. ”
“ Have been coming here for years and they still maintain high standards around service and food. All 6 of us had a wonderful time and enjoyed everything from the service, to the wine, to all the delectable dishes, carefully prepared by the kitchen. They were also very good about taking note of our food allergies/dietary restrictions. I don’t know our service name, but he was super attentive, but never hovering. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for fine dining. Can’t wait to go back. ”
“ Agostinho, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. You made our daughter’s baptism a very memorable evening for our family.

I highly recommend Chiado! ”
“ What an experience! All dishes were exceptional. The appetizers and mains were all delicious loved there was a delicious bread basket, olives and olive oil to dip in while waiting for food. The only thing that was disappointing was that there wasn’t lobster available for the lobster risotto , but we were able to sub in shrimp (biggest shrimps I’ve ever seen) Our server was fantastic and knowledgeable about the dishes and knew how they were prepared which helped with deciding which to pick! ”
