Churrasqueira Martins: A Portuguese Seafood Gem

 

Churrasqueira Martins is a neighbourhood gem. Relaxed and informal with an impressive menu of over 60 Portuguese classic dishes and extensive wine list including their own brand of house red and white wine, Martins sensational cuisine is only surpassed by their warm, friendly and attentive staff. Owned and operated by Carlos and Samantha Martins since 1992, Martins is famous for its excellent fish which they import twice a week from Portugal, and serves quite possibly the best grilled fish and seafood in the city. Cordon Bleu-trained chef Steven Martins, who is Carlos’s son, works his magic in the kitchen and on the open grill. Open for inside dining for the first time in months with Ontario having entered stage 3 of its COVID-19 economic reopening plan, we were thrilled to finally be able to dine at Martins on a sunny summer afternoon, much like visiting an old friend after a very long time.
