A humble and delicious Portuguese establishment — Great for a dinner date or for treating guests!We ordered the Grilled Chourico (served on a clay pot), this was one of the highest calibre sausage dishes I have had! And to round out the appetizers, we had the Piri-Piri Tiger Shrimp (with roasted peppers, grilled pineapple, zucchini, fresh herbs), a pricier dish, but seasoned and executed well.Mains started off with the Bitoque (US prime, Portuguese style, home fries, topped with fried egg, peppercorn sauce). First off, the home fries were amazing, beautifully crisp on the outside. The steak was cooked well, simply flavoured, cannot go wrong. Second was a Grouper special, I highly recommend asking them what their Fresh Sheet items are! They are incredibly generous with their portions, the Grouper was topped with a relish, and served with seasonal vegetables and potatoes. By far my favourite dish.Go and have a visit!

My husband and I hosted our wedding reception at Via Norte, and everything was amazing. The food, the service from everyone, all the staff were so nice and on top of things. Stef was incredible to work with weeks leading up to the day, planning and organizing everything with us. All our guests loved the food from appetizers to dessert. Thank you again!

Excellent! We ordered squid as an appetizer followed by the special fish of the evening. All wonderfully prepared in simple sauces or glazes. The sangria made a great compliment to the meal. And we even enjoyed a glass of port to finish the night. William and Rafaela were wonderful, certainly ask for them! We’ll be back the next time we’re in town!

What can I say?! Just wow. I booked a table for my partner and myself for a special occassion. We did not know what to expect. Everything from the delicious food to the wonderful staff, William and Danillo was top tier! They treated us like family and even offered us some delicious dessert and port wine on the house for us to enjoy. And boy did we!They also gave us a lovely bottle of housemade hot sauce to take home! We will be returning and recommending to our friends and family

Everything from booking a reservation to dining service was an incredible experience! Got to love great customer service! William, you are a gem. William was so kind and he also shared his knowledge about the food and wines and curated the perfect meal. There was also a severe allergy in attendance and he was reassuring to make sure every allergen was omitted from the recipe whilst staying true to the dish. Visit this place for your Portuguese/seafood cravings!

My family and I (Group of 16 people) had dinner at Via Norte. The overall experience was AMAZING, whether it came to the tasty food or the quick and efficient service, this is a restaurant that you want to visit! I think this was the first time that i've seen everyone finish every single piece of food off of their plate! A huge thank you to Stephanie for making this happen! 100% recommend !

Outstanding service, great wine selection. We had the octopus and grouper, both delicious. Desserts were excellent as well. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.
