Awesome homemade food, friendly service! Repeat customer. Love the meals and desserts. Always fresh and follow on Facebook to see the daily specials.
Great!!! Fresh food. Low-cost. Friendly staff. Was visiting family this week and my best friend wanted to go for Portuguese food, because he had visited me in Calgary and I had treated him to an awesome traditional Portuguese diner. Having not lived in Winnipeg for over 15 years I didn’t know where to go and old Portuguese restaurants I was familiar with are all closed, so I did some research and discovered there are none left. I found that there is one that has a few things like Portuguese style grilled chicken on the menu, but the rest of the food is not, therefore it’s not authentic. The other two places were grocery/bakery establishments that serve some hot food in the back. I chose Viena do Castelo based on the proximity to where my friend works and took him to lunch. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. They don’t have a full sit down dinning experience with an extensive menu. But what they do offer is very tasty, fresh, and affordable. There is a sitting area with a few tables at the front of the establishment. It was sunny and clean and made for a nice lunch-time eat and chat. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We explained what we were looking for and they put together a nice lunch for the two of us. We had:Bifanas – crusty Portuguese buns filled with tender port cutlets smothered in a rich sauce, with saut onions. We had ours topped with banana pepper rings and hot pimento sauce. They were delicious…just like my mom’s, but even with the peppers and suave, they weren’t as hot as my mom’s…thank god :-)Bacalho as Nata – cod fish and potato in cream sauce. I had never had this before and it was delicious. I would certainly look for this dish when I get back home, because I am hooked. I eat it all up and was completely satisfied with the portion and flavour. It had the right amount if saltines and seasoning, but others may find it too salty. Definitely not a bland dish. We chased these two wonderful items down with a couple of cans of orange Sumol, which is a soft drink they sell as part of their grocery items. It’s nice: not too sweet and not too carbonated. North American soft drinks could learn a thing or two from this simple soft drink :-)Pastels de Nata – For desert with had a couple of custard tarts from their bakery items. These were very fresh and delicious. I have eaten a lot if pastels de nata in my many years and these were some of the best I have ever had. Overall a great value meal with great taste and freshness. I highly recommend this for a quick low-cost lunch or a very, very casual early dinner.
Food is always great, These folks are very accommodating and are always happy to see you. Family friendly; family run business and a real gem in the Westend!
Heard about this place from a friend of mine, who said their Portuguese egg tarts or pastel de nata were really good. This was my first time hearing about them being available in the city, so of course I had to go try it. The last time I had Portuguese egg tarts was when I was in Macau, and they were so amazing, so my expectations have already been set quite high.We got a package of 6. The shell of the egg tart was flaky, and there was a nice caramelization at the top. They were very good, but they weren’t as good as the ones I’ve had in the past. Give them a try if you’ve never had a Portuguese egg tart before.
Great little neighborhood spot! It’s definitely 50% grocery store and 50% bakery/restaurant. I got an assortment of things but the beef and chorizo was delicious and the little baked items I took home were worth a second visit…which I plan on doing today!My only gripe, and this is more because I’m new, is that they didn’t have their other menu offerings listed anywhere. The lady beside me was clearly ordering something very large and nowhere to be found in the menu. The reviews previously have also made mention of roast chicken dinners, etc. which I can find when I go in there. Other than that, great place!
Very friendly, owner operated establishment. Great catering services, great eat in and take out too. The baked good are delicious, the lunches are savoury and both, are always fresh! Along with all gastronomical goodness, you can also pick up a few groceries to try creating some of your own Portuguese inspired meals at home. A delightful place and you will always be greeted with a welcoming, heartfelt smile.
Great place. Very friendly, fast and reasonably priced.
