This is a Portuguese grilled meat restaurant--basic, unassuming with good earnest food. The staff are pleasant and attentive. We had the chicken and pork chops, which are served w/fries and a salad. Really nice grilled taste--both the chicken and the pork were done perfectly--cooked, but not dry. We had a 1/2 liter of the house wine, which was fine. The... More

One of the true gems of montreal food scene. This place offers the same great choices and the exact same taste for years now. Start with a salad, sardines or garlic prawns. For the main courses the choices are simple, chicken our octopus. I love the way they cook both of them on top of one another on the bbq.... More

Everything is good but nothing outstanding, prices are correct, portion are respectable with fresh salad, service is friendly. Sometime you need to wait a short period for a table. This type of place is common in Montreal, parking hard to find, so you can easily find the same quality in a more accessible area with a more spacious dining room.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you taste the food it will be a family favorite. I had the chicken and the octopus and it was simply amazing. The chicken is cooked in a wood burning stove and you taste difference from other chicken places. The waiters are a bit cooky but very pleasant none the... More

I was away from Montréal for a few years. Before leaving I used to go to chez Doval with my friends for a quick lunch or a dinner without wives. I went back last week with my friend Tony who is always interested in trying new restaurants. We had grilled squid that Tony found delicious but a bit tough, I... More

After hearing so many positive comments about this restaurant I decided to try it as it is also close to my house. I walked in without reservation and the waiter was visibly annoyed despite the fact that there were empty tables. They sit us at a dirty table which was not a problem since they came to clean it but... More

It's pretty clear that unless they know you, friendliness is not at the top of this restaurant's list. Nevertheless, we got seated w/o a reservation and served reasonably quickly. The food is very good, prices are reasonable, the overall atmosphere is jovial, and if you are prepared for the wandering guitarist/singer, it's fun, particularly when some customers start singing along....

If you want to have a dependably delicious meal, then go to Chez Doval. The roasted chicken, grilled sardines and the rice pudding are my favourites (yes, I said rice pudding; it's Mediterranean style), and their soup of the day is a homemade delight. Lunchtime is better as it's quieter and dinner requires reservations or showing up at 10:30 and... More
