Established in 1980 Casa Abril was one of the three Portuguese restaurants in the heart of Kensington Market. During that time Casa Abril built a reputation for offering fine Portuguese cuisine surrounded in a friendly atmosphere perfect for social; family and romantic gatherings. As our popularity grew the demand for more space became evident. Therefore, in February 1998, Casa Abril found a new home at 475 Oakwood Avenue, fully equipped with one large and one mid-sized banquet hall and a spacious dining room complete with ample parking for its clientele. To go along with a new home also came a new name, “New Casa Abril” and with that the restaurant was ready to embark on a new journey. To date, it is known not only for upholding the traditions of Portuguese cuisine but also for the fact that it is the longest running Portuguese restaurant in the community still under original management.

New Casa Abril offers a dining atmosphere that marries Portuguese history with modern day. The main dining room proudly displays our Portuguese heritage through hand painted commemorative portraits of the Kings from the Royal Portuguese Dynasty. Our menu offers a selection of fresh salt water fish and seafood from around the world; classic vintage ports from the early 20th century, and the finest wines imported directly from Western Europe. Our delicious homemade desserts are a perfect end to any meal and can be enjoyed while being serenaded by our live entertainment.

The lower hall is warm and inviting with the capacity to accommodate intimate gatherings for up to 70 people; while the upper banquet hall is spacious and bright, complete with multiple Juliet balconies that are ideal for weddings; baptisms; communions or corporate events. We offer a variety of dining and catering options to meet every need and our tasty menus and great service have kept our customers happy for over 26 years.

Come and engage in a Portuguese dining experience that will keep you coming back!
