The original Keele location of the restaurant in North York was opened in November 2009, and it was a true family affair from the start.

"My dad was also born and raised in Portugal so he has had the opportunity to be able to grow up eating these traditional foods from Portugal that brings everyone back to their mother's cooking. My mom was born and raised by one of the most caring Portuguese women you'll ever find who taught her all these wonderful recipes," says Viviana.
"Before a couple months ago, you could probably walk in and see my dad at the restaurant basically 24/7," says Viviana.Estrela's new Etobicoke location on Lavington Dr."My parents decided to open our second location because a lot of our loyal customers live in the area. Since then we have been seeing more of them at our new location and even just people from the community who have heard from the [regulars] to come by," says Viviana.
