" I had a lovely dining experience at Viva last week. The restaurant had a great vibe with a bustling crowd yet cozy setting. I ordered the calamari as an appetizer, and it set the tone for the meal — crispy, flavorful, and definitely not overcooked. My main dish was the seafood risotto, which surprised me with generous seafood portions. I felt fulfilled by the end of my meal! The service was attentive, though a bit slow at times when it got busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Viva Restaurant + Bar has become one of my favorite spots in Montreal! Their selection of Portuguese and Italian dishes is impressive, and I've tried most of their menu. The homemade pastas are a must-try! I remember having their lasagna, which was rich and flavorful. The staff is consistently lovely, providing prompt service. They've also created a really cozy atmosphere, making it enjoyable for both families and couples. Highly recommending it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Viva last night, and overall, it was quite pleasant but could use improvements. I ordered the seafood paella, which was flavorful but lacked seafood portions for the price. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was friendly. It took a bit longer to get our drinks, but they were truly welcoming. If they can improve the portion sizes, I would consider going back—but I might try something new instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I initially came to Viva with high expectations based on the reviews, and I wasn't disappointed! The decor was beautiful, highlighted by the exposed brick and cozy lighting. I had the burrata pizza, which was amazing! The crust was thin and crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. My server was very friendly and helped guide my choices well. The only downside was the slight delay in service due to the restaurant being busy, but it was understandable. A worthwhile dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try Viva on a Sunday afternoon. The service was a bit sluggish, taking a while for our orders to be taken and for our food to arrive. However, once the food came, it was worth it! I had the piri piri chicken, which was flavorful and spicy, but my partner found their dish a bit underwhelming. The ambiance was lovely though; we sat by the window, which added a nice touch to our dining. It’s a mixed bag—some dishes shine, while others need work. " (*Curated Review*)

" Viva Restaurant + Bar is a great place for gatherings! I celebrated my birthday there last month and everything from start to finish was impressive. We had a set menu for our group, and each dish was delicious! The grilled octopus was a standout, and the bacalhau was the highlight of my meal. The staff were incredible, accommodating all our requests with grace. They even sang happy birthday to me, making the night extra special. Highly recommend for celebrations or a nice dinner out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Viva is officially my new favorite restaurant in Montreal. The pasta is delightful, and you can taste the authenticity. The dishes are relatively reasonably priced considering the quality, too. I also really appreciated the friendliness of the staff. My only grievance would be the noise level when it’s busy, but overall, it's a must-try place! " (*Curated Review*)
