Os Amigos Restaurant & Cafe

What is Os Amigos Restaurant & Cafe? Situated at 335 Silverthorn Avenue near Rogers Road in Toronto’s Keelesdale-Eglinton West community, Os Amigos Restaurant & Cafe is a longtime neighbourhood tasca serving traditional Portuguese homestyle cooking. The unassuming dining room features a welcoming wooden bar counter, European soccer flags, television screens tuned to Portuguese sports broadcasts, and simple table seating. It serves as an authentic community anchor where local tradespeople, Portuguese-Canadian families, and regulars gather over satisfying lunch plates and cold beers.

Os Amigos Restaurant & Cafe Menu & What to Order The kitchen specializes in rustic Portuguese comfort fare and petiscos designed for communal sharing. The headliner is Bacalhau à Brás, a classic national dish of shredded salted cod sautéed with finely chopped onions, matchstick straw potatoes, and scrambled eggs, garnished with black olives and fresh parsley. For quick bites at the bar, order the Bifana—thinly sliced pork cutlets simmered in garlic, white wine, and piri piri sauce served on a crusty roll—or the Prego no Pão steak sandwich. Share a platter of freshly fried Pastéis de Bacalhau (salt cod fritters) and grilled chouriço sausage paired with a cold pint of Sagres or Super Bock.
