Thank you to SquareSpace for sponsoring this video! After traveling to Toronto for work, I decided to stay for the weekend and visit the sights and eateries in this great city. And as luck would have it, I discovered a one of a kind Portuguese Seafood buffet tucked away in Mississauga, a city within the Greater Toronto Area.
Having never really tried Portuguese cuisine, aside from the fried Bacalhau croquettes, I was curious to sample and try all the dishes and what better way to do so than at a buffet! At $65 CAD for the meal, I was expecting too much; some fish, shell fish, and a few crustaceans here and there... Little did I know that I was in for a treat! Unlimited fresh lobster, king crab, were the eye catching items, but just as good if not better were the comforting Portuguese staples - Gigantic grilled shrimp, warm hardy baked cod and other delectable stews of seafood. This is truly a seafood lovers delight! Ahh, and the unknown, but tasty dish shown in the video? That was the classic comfort dish known as Bachalhau!
And of course, along with the great food was the great people there. Great servers and hosts, and a festive atmosphere from the guests and I can understand why. And a note about this buffet...this is probably the least publicized buffet I've encountered! There's no mention of this on their website! Simply by chance upon calling up the Portuguese restaurant for dinner inquiries did I learn of such a buffet. A true hidden gem!

Thank you Tim for this great recommendation as it’s great to see you back in Toronto. This is not that far from where we live so we will definitely check it out. We’re so happy to see that your presence and the people whom you touch continue to grow. We still remember when you first started your videos. Your videos continue to bring us happiness and hungry stomachs. Keep on eating and travelling my friend! 🙌🙏
Thank you Jen and Jonmichael, I was actually there on a work trip and stumbled on to this Portuguese restaurant... definitely a nice find and thank you so much for your kind comment!
I MUST FESS UP TIM,I'M LIVING MY BUFFET LIFE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU ❤👍
AMO-TE YOUR CHANNEL.
🙏 BLESSINGS ALWAYS
Thank you so much for your very kind comment🙏
That buffet looks amazing! Thank you for sharing, Tim!
I absolutely love watching you. You make me feel so calm and like there are still good people out there ❤
Hi Tim...nice to see you again...Thx for bringing us to another great buffett 👍...this buffett for $65 CAN was worth every penny...think I died and went to heaven 🤗...all the seafood looked amazingly appetizing, and yes those were king crab legs (prickly), snow crab legs are flat and smooth...they normally don't serve king crab legs at a seafood buffett unless it's an extremely expensive one...safe travels and God Bless you my friend 😘🤗💙
Thank you so much Jade! I was really surprised at all they dishes they were serving at the $65 price of the buffet. Really impress with their quality and selection. I agree, I certainly did not expect for them to have items like king crab!
Your niceness keeps me watching. So refreshing 😌
Thanks for you kind comment Robert, it was a lucky find as they don't advertise much...
This makes me miss my portuguese grandmothers cooking. The little cod cakes you had are a staple in portuguese food. They are amazing hot or cold and particularly when you are drinking. The only thing I did not see was the little pastries like you tried first we make some with tuna inside and some with a shrimp mixture inside which I think is the one you had. Lovely video as always. Love from Manitoba Canad.
Thank you so much for reaching out and really enjoying the great Portuguese dishes! You much be so lucking growing up...really enjoyed the cod cakes! Thank you again and warmest greetings from Vancouver Canada!
Jeez……I can’t believe we have this kind buffet in Toronto. Can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you tim!
It is not in Toronto. If you believe it is in Toronto then go as far as Toronto Transit will take you and walk from there.
If you need to take another bus and it requires extra fare...what is the extra fare for? Gee it wouldn't be because it's NOT TORONTO would it? lol
Welcome to Mississauga.
Why are you so upset? Many people use Toronto as a general area like the GTA. Regardless, it’s ridiculous to get that worked up over something so silly
@@tanyajessica5138 Toronto transit doesn't get me there. We also had a recent election. There is a reason why there are TWO mayors. Not one. TWO very different places. Calling Mississauga Toronto is an insult...same goes for Mississauga. It's not Toronto. YOU OWE ME MISSISSAUGA TRANSIT FARE LADY!!!! IT IS THE LEAST YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR POORLY EDUCATED QUESTION.
@@tanyajessica5138 When you say something is in TORONTO it better be IN Toronto. No extra transit fares. No extra distance.
Yay! I’ve been rewatching your videos, so glad to get this new one today!!
Thanks Kendra, very glad to discover this restaurant during a work trip. Was very impressed!
I’ve been and it’s WOW, caution to lovers of “only hot” buffets, a lot of the dishes here are cold or Luke warm. It’s not because they aren’t heated, but because that’s how they’re served. The night I went, the lobster and crab were stone cold. I personally prefer seafood cold but not everyone does. Buyer beware.
A great hidden gem. If you’re a seafood lover you will enjoy the food and the price.
For land lovers... they have great steaks. I haven’t tried them though.
I’ve been twice for lunch and had the grilled sea bass and then grilled something else on the other visit. Both wonderful fish dishes with piles of veggies as well. Large meals! Yum!and... very fresh bread to accompany your meal.
You won’t be disappointed. No way.
Thx Tim!
Wow Tim, I had no idea that there’s a Portuguese community in Toronto! I’m proud of the lusophone community in Southern New England and great to see one there as well. The foodways of Portugal, Brasil, the Azores and Cape Verde add so much to our culture.
Really nice to see the great people there! Great community and everyone seems to be enjoying the evening!
There is a big Portuguese community in Hamilton and Toronto Canada.
@@scottbrandon6244 The restaurant is in Mississauga NOT Toronto.
@@handyandy6437 And yet people in Mississauga always want to be part of the "GTA".
@@scottbrandon6244 Their property taxes fund their own town. Not Toronto. Banner advertising is illegal in Mississauga. There are so many differences! Shall I go on...? Mississauga is NOT Toronto.
Thank you Tim! Great post a usual. I've had a couple of Portuguese dishes so I was excited to watch your video.
I haven't had much Portuguese food on my end, so this was really a treat! I can certainly get used to this!
Wow $50 U.S. for a lobster and king crab buffet, what a deal, wish I lived closer, great find Tim
Hi Phil, yeah, I was quite surprised at all the seafood (and the higher end items) for that price!
This is Mississauga about 40 minute drive from downtown Toronto depending on traffic. Mississauga is it’s own city. Just had to put that in for those who stay in actual Toronto. Having said that looks good.
"A nice decoration" drew a spontaneous belly laugh from me tonight! Wonderful! Hope I can go there someday!
Hope you get a chance to visit Val...interesting decor and really good seafood😋
Tim, Thanks for continuing to show us these Great places you go to and giving us your input on the Quality of these different types of restaurants. I must admit the Quality and the broad selection of Seafood is impressive based on your feedback. The price is a shocker considering many places here in the states including southern part of the U.S. cannot match in terms of price, broad selection, quality, and the ambience this Portuguese place you dined at.
Hi Ray, I was certainly shocked as well at the value for this place... I was certainly not expecting all the lobster and king crab for that price...the other dishes alone would have more than exceeded expectations!
Hi Tim! Everything looked so wonderful! Now I'm Hungry again! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much.. it was quite a nice experience!
Hi Tim😻thanks so much for the video- everything looked delicious!!🫶🏼
Thank you Adriane! it was a very nice experience
This is a very good idea for a restaurant. I have never seen a Portuguese buffet place.
Thank you, Tim. Your videos are always amazing.
Thank you so much Kim!
Wow! What spectacular looking food!! Want to be there now!! Mmm. Mmm mmm .!!!!
Thank you Imsuna!
You are such a pleasure to watch !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing another great video !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the very kind comment!
Great video again Tim, that buffet looks amazing!!!
Thank you Gina!
Wow, another amazing seafood buffet. I need to stop watching your videos when I am hungry 🤤😂. I can’t believe they don’t offer desserts. Have a good night Tim.
Thanks again Loanne, even a small dessert selection would have been nice, but really glad I got to order one of their specialties...
All that seafood looks so awesome. Cheers, Tim! ✌️🇨🇦
Hi Dwayne, it was a very pleasant surprise 😃
Muito legal, Obrigado!!!!!! that dish is Bacalao with mashed potatoes and spices and onions
Ahh, I thought it was Bacalao as well and someone mentioned it could also be Açorda...
This restaurant is in Mississauga not Toronto. If you believe it's in Toronto then please use public transit to get there and walk from the exact point where Toronto transit quits. Good luck!!
I watch these videos while I eat ... my food just tastes better when I watch Tim`s Videos
Thank you so much 😊
For some reason my favorite TV Show is watching Tim eat. Even better than watching Jay Leno drive his cars.
Wow, this would be my must go buffet if I have an opportunity to go to Toronto! I love seafood! For $65 buffet that includes king crab and lobster, it is steal! Thank you for the recommendations!😊
This was quite a nice find and yeah, incredible deal!
@@TimLeeLetsGo THIS IS NOT A TORONTO RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS MISSISSAUGA AND YES IT IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE TORONTO TRANSIT DOES NOT GO THERE!!! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYBODY!!! THIS IS NOT TORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS MISSISSAUGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toronto transit does not get you to this restaurant. You need to pay extra fare for Mississauga Transit.
Wow Tim.... I had to comment on this video. Not only does the food look delicious, the price is a steal! I'm in Southern California, but wish I lived closer!
Hi Alfred, yeah, I was totally surprised at all the seafood, including the higher end items, that you get for the price. It's a shame they don't advertise this buffet...
Another great spot Tim. Thank you, be well,be safe,peace.
Thanks George!
Another great review! I always want them to be longer!!
Ty soo for sharing
Thank you again Jacqueline!
Hi Tim! Love your videos. Thank you for your suggestion. Looking forward to visit this place soon.
wow, had to pause to say what a nice place it appears to be and i love that stage, ok, going back to watching now.
What a fantastic place and for 65 dollars WOW !!!!!!
Hi Isis, I was really pleasantly surprised at all the seafood you get for $65...(and it's in Canadian currency😃)
Good job Tim! Hope you reach 1 million subscribers soon!
Thank you so much...just enjoying this channel, one restaurant at a time😉😋
Hi Tim, since you mentioned David S., for once, can you wear the Puma T shirt he gave you just to show your appreciation? Unless you have to promote Coca Cola.
Thanks again, and most things are said at the spur of the moment... I got a very nice "don't mess with Texas" t-shirt from David (actually a few) and will keep that in mind...it would be good inspiration to find a good BBQ place!
thank you Tim this place looks amazing
Thank you Amanda!
@@TimLeeLetsGo lovve your volgs
On Thursday it has a special of $39 per person. I made my reservation already
What a deal!!!! They surely cannot have seafood at the price...
Nice meeting you today at the mall Tim! Keep on making me hungry! We will have to go to wonderful buffet in Bellingham
Hi Steve, it was a pleasure to meet you.. thank you so much for reaching out and for the suggestions... particularly the king buffet in la as well.. thank you again
Thanks Tim for another great seafood restaurant to try
Really happy to come across this place...they sure don't make it easy though as it's not well advertised (if at all)
Place seems to be amazing
It was a pleasant surprise...didn't really not what to expect but it turned out to be a hidden gem...(especially since they don't advertise about this)
Tim .. you know that 51 dollars USD.. that quality of food for that Portugal seafood buffet would be a huge steal for us folks in the NYC area … got me so jelly!! 😝😝😝😝
Agreed, it was an incredible deal with all the seafood including the lobsters and king crab...I would be more than happy with those items, but it just set it over the top!
Welcome back to T.O tim great job bros.
Hi Chester, glad to be in the Toronto Area...I was actually in Mississauga for a work trip and stumbled on to the place😀
Wow thank you! Look delicious to me….. thank you again
Thank you again Lori!
Tim: now that's a great deal at C$65 for the buffet. Nice ambiance, great selection of shellfish & good service. What more can you ask! The Nordic at $125 continues to be overpriced!
LoL... compared to the prices here, the Nordic is a tad overpriced ;-) Still consider the Nordic to be the favorite though and glad have found this place also.
Why does the buffet counter have a high awning/roof to hold the lights but there is no lower sneeze guard/glass?
Those lights were a bit of a pain for me as well... especially during filming/editing 😉
Thanks tim for this video the seafood looked really great. For a reasonable price as well. I know you can really find some nice places. Take care of yourself and please keep safe my friend
Thank you Calvin!
Great job. Have to go to this place and try it. Thank you
Make sure you check out their website as their dates change from time to time... Also hearing a little bit of hit and miss from some of the comments as well
Yay! Another Tim video!!!
Thank you Julie 🙂
cheers Tim... love your videos, and I'm happy to see you've grown by 10k subs since i subscribed
Thank you so much, just having fun and really grateful to get to visit and share these places
Looking good, thanks for sharing this 👍
Thank you!
Amazing and at a different European cuisine. The shrimp and prawns just look yummy. Thanks. .. Cheers ..
I just found out those giant prawns are called Gambia 🙂
FYI for all those in mississauga or GTA this place does not do AYCE. Don't waste your time
Thanks Tim for another Delicious Video. That Buffett was definitely Amazing. Take Care!!!
Thanks Tom, it was a nice find 😃
Great video Tim you are the best!
Thank you for you kind comment Hunter!
Another awesome video Ken!!
Thank you!
Amazing quality looking food at a great price!
The restaurant “clubbing” lights are throwing me off lol
It was quite a nice experience... and yes, the lights also made it hard to film and edit ;-)
Wow this looks amazing
Thanks Dan... came across this place during a work trip. :-P
I wish we had buffets like this in Germany ☹️.. I tasted King Crap once in my life and it was incredible 😍!!! But it is so expensive 😭 the price is about 150-200€ for a few legs. I read that there a so many of them so I don't know why they wouldn't fish more 🤷🏼♀️🤔. How much do they cost in your area? Greetings 👋🏻🙂❤️
Hi Yvonne, wow! That's quite a lot of euros for crab! I might be more cost effective to catch a flight here and enjoy😉. Thank you again for reaching out!
@yvonne. That’s crazy price. I can buy a 5lb box of king crab legs for $250
Awesome video 👍Tim I just got back from Orlando and now you got me wanting to take the family to Toronto Tim 😭 btw that comment in the beginning of this video about Leona, Texas..I'm going there this weekend. Just hope that they'll let me film though 🤣 that grilled octopus looks gooooood
Hi David! Hope you had a great trip! Disney overload? Can't wait to see some of the areas you've visited!
AMAZING!!!!
yummy yum yum. all looked so inviting. i would enjoy.
Thank you Jerome!
Lobster and king crab sign me up! Mmmmm
This was quite a good deal considering the selection of seafood they have 😋
Looks delicious. Wow 🤤
It was a nice hidden gem.. they certainly don't advertise this...
Was just there there the other day to check it out. Looking forward to going for a seafood feast. Watching from Hamilton Ontario Canada
How did you find your meal? I heard mixed comments here from the people who've tried it..
I am absolutely going to go there. I love seafood 😋 💙❤💜😋😋😋
Hi I'm Portuguese.... That dish you didn't know that you said it was potatoes with sea food... It's "açorda" and it's made with bread from the day before... It is a way we don't waste old bread and can be made simple with garlic olive oil and cilantro... And you can add anything.
Thank you Paula! Finally I can associate a name to the dish! 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo Sorry there is no translation to English that I know...it's a bread soup. Portugal was one poor country, even now... So that dish was invented to utilize what was available... Usually every home had bread ...some times there were used eggs or "chouriço" a type of sausage but sea food was because half of Portugal is sea coast.
@@paulafrazao7245 thank you again so much!
@@TimLeeLetsGo my pleasure and thanks for answering.
We are eating good tonight !
Hi Louis, I hope you get a chance to enjoy. This was honestly the most difficult buffet to find any information on. I don't think they publicize this and I actually had to call to find out... I left as much information as I had in the video description and hope you get some more information from them...
@@TimLeeLetsGo Tim you are a gift from above thank you so so much, when I visit I'll be sure to remember you, much love to you always from Vancouver Canada well actually I'm in Surrey bc, we seldom have seafood so this is nice to watch it from your perspective
I love your so nice respectfulness❤️ great contents!
Hi toni ic, Thank you so much for your kind gesture and your kind comment. Just really grateful to get to connect with everyone here 🙂
love david Sriracha videos too!!
wonderful buffet!!
Likewise! Great videos by a great guy!
Looks really good
Thank you Renee, it was quite a pleasant experience and really liking the Toronto Area...
Love your reviews Tim. You are so gracious! Melaney from SoCal
Warmest greeting to you from Vancouver!
That is a STEAL! All the food looked top quality and fresh!
Portuguese is spelled with an "e" at the end (3:06).
Thank you so much.. typo on my end 🤦🏻♂️😉
This looks amazing gonna def check it out
Hope you get a chance to try, but I've got mixed messages from the comments of people who visited there.. it sounds like it was a bit of a hit and miss
@@TimLeeLetsGo I went this past Friday was a full house and awesome. They didn't have king crab but alot of snow crabs...I had three full plates of crab legs and claws...could never get that in NY buffets without waiting or fighting lol
Tim never disappoints us with his content 👍🤗👏 🍽🍗🦑🥖🥨🫓🧄🧅🥕🥬🫑🌶🍠🍣🍣🦀🦞🍮🍭🥛🍮
Thank you so much for your kind comment...this was a surprising find during a work trip😋
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO THANKS
When you went to Narbonne I wish you had tried some Tielle Setoise.
I had to search that up and that looks absolutely divine! I need to see if I can find one where I live
Tim, yet another mouthwatering buffet. I feel an across border roadtrip coming up. Only 3 or so hours away. I might try to emulate that seafood stuffed cod. Maybe a trip to the city pickup some calamari ... make a butter sauce. Best
Hi Tom, that's relatively close by. The seafood stuffed cod was quite enjoyable especially when hot 😋
Love your channel!
Thank you Russell
@@TimLeeLetsGo most welcome!
Say What? A Seafood Buffet with Lobster, Octopus and King Crab for $49.82 USD (=$65 CAD) that’s unbelievable! Is this the Best Seafood Buffet Bargain in North America? And it looks Luxurious to me!
I was very pleasantly surprised about this hidden gem.. but this was so hard to find because they don't advertise it.. it's not even mentioned on their website and you have to call him to find out
Funny how the Google reviews don't suggest the same.
This place needs to be down in Delray Beach Florida where I live
Hello, Tim. Everything looks delicious. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you again 🙂
Amazing looking seafood buffet and surprisingly good value for Toronto. Too bad the blue disco lights made it hard to see the food though.
LoL..if there was one issue I had, yes, the blue disco lights would have been it 😆... but that was mainly for the video, and it did make it tough.. 😉
Tim this is good eating. The food looks
More Than Delicious. I wish. Nothing but
love for you.
🥰🥰🥰
Must make renovation, no walk ins. Can't sit for 3hrs either. But so worth it
Really! I managed to get walk in when I was there. Is it still going well?
Hey Tim, what time did you arrive at the buffet?
I usually go at the start.. I believe I went around 5:30pm (they were just setting up)
Oh boy! I've been trying to get to Portugal for 5 years and I will absolutely visit this one if I ever get to Toronto which is near the top of my list after Portugal and Cornwall.
Ohh, sounds like an amazing couple to trips coming up! Glad to be able to travel again and hope you're able to get there soon!
Is the u pronounced in portugUese? I thought it was soft. If I’m wrong I’ve been doing this incorrect for 30 years!
Hey Tim, when I go to their website, I don't see anywhere saying seafood buffet?
Those big shrimp are called ‘Gambia’s’ in Portuguese or prawns in English... in Portuguese seafood the magic is in the sauces they are cooked in
Thanks Gene! Much appreciated and alway love getting the insights of the different dishes!
We should all bring scissors to a buffet!
Definitely! those crab legs were spiny 😁
nice video with a good selection of dishes. not sure the blue lighting on the food was a good idea though!
Hey Andrew, good eye. That was my only complaint... The lighting made it difficult to film 😆
Hey tim...this looked amazing but.." one can not live on seafood alone"...😏😆 I beg to differ 😄🤗❤
LoL...many times I don't know what I'm saying on the videos😉
If you want real good authentic azores food, you need to go to New Bedford Massachusetts or Fall River Massachusetts........my favorite is Roasted Pig in New Bedford....Carne Alentejana is amazing. Then you need to go to Central Bakery in Peabody Massachusetts for the malassadas, then Sunrise Bakery in South Dartmouth Massachusetts for the best Poppos Secos bread you will ever eat.
You skipped on the veggies 😂. That was the best part for me.
It's interesting as I noticed that there wasn't too much veggies at a Portuguese buffet, nor a lot of meats.. tons of seafood though 😋
