I only had experience through über eat, never been in their restaurant. I think it's one of the best Portuguese charcoal grilled chicken 🍗 in Montreal. Keep in mind though if you choose delivery they regularly forget items in the order like soda, natas or the salad side dishe. Of course uber refund but very frustrating still.
Pour une de nos rares sorties en couple, nous choisissons ce restaurant. Les hôtes nous invitent à nous asseoir sur le bord de la porte de garage, mais il fait froid dehors. On doit changer de table. 2 autres couples se font aussi installer à cette même table & doivent aussi changer… mauvaise stratégie.
Nous commandons nos assiettes, mais attendons très longtemps avant de les recevoir. Pourtant, on a commandé du poulet… on nous dit qu'il y a eu des erreurs dans la commande. Le troisième couple qui s'assoit à côté de nous reçoit sa commande en moins de 10 minutes.
Le poulet est bon, les frites de patates douces aussi. La salade était défraichie.
Uber eats ordered :
Paella , grilled calimari & octopus all 3 item delicious !
Cod balls , came bare without salad as shown in the pictures , would not recommend.
Excellentissime restaurant ou à emporté!
Saveur du poulet, salade fraîche & croquante, riz bie cuisiner & onctueux & non sec, parfait !
Toutefois, petit bémol dans le service qui laisse à désirer, assez froid parfois te reprochant ou te faisant comprendre que tu lui a dit 1 poulet & non 1 demi poulet & ne pouvant pas le retirer de sa caisse..
Dois-je me forcer de manger 1 port entier puisque la caisse n'est pas ajustée pour un'reset'..? Euhhhhhh je ne pense pas..
Toutefois, très bon personnel dans son ensemble.. 4 *
Merci d'être aussi goûtu dans un poulet grillé hors du commun.. 👍
Went there twice ! Both time food was 10/10 ! Service 10/10! …. Price/Quality/Portion/ Service wise … This restaurant reminds me of what restauration was like before the pandemic! We ordered the half chicken.. its served with fries & a salade ! Everything was delicious … & all that for less than 20$ !!! I had a perfect amaretto sour for 7.50$… ! Really im shocked! 10/10 … they're lots of stafff .. service is quixk ! Really waw waw waw …
Decided to try this place from a friends recommendation. The resto was pretty calm for sunday lunch. We opted for the grilled octopus plate that comes with salad, rice & potatoes. We also got the Portuguese chicken & rib combo plate that comes with fries & salad. To finish our meal off we ordered Portuguese egg tarts. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! All the meats were perfectly grilled & seasoned & had a nice charcoal flavour. The portions were also GENEROUS & the price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend both dishes! Will be for sure coming back again!

Excellent fish, lamb, Portuguese steak & grilled octopus 🐙 salad 😋 Service was super friendly, excellent knowledgeable service & helpful for food allergies (wheat, soy & dairy) We will be back soon! 😁
C'est mon restaurant portugais préféré à Montréal : excellente rôtisserie, grillades sur charbon de bois, poulet & côtes levées, chorizo, fruits de mer de qualité & frites, salades, entrées & bouchées à déguster à deux ou à plusieurs. Bonnes bières & carte des vins intéressante. Terrasse en été.
the chokehold this place has on my family. the grilled octopus is my favorite. the plates come with potatoes & salad & rice & it is unbelievably delicious. the drink prices are pre 2020s inflation & I think that is beautiful. come here every time I'm in Montreal
What a great surprise! I came here by accident & decided to take a chicken bbq to go. It was so good that I decided to come back today to try the Portuguese soup (kind of caldo verde which I love) & bacalau croquettes. OMG this the best bacalau croquette that I have tried in Montreal (I have been trying croquettes in different restaurants, & they are quite good). The salad is also good! (Simple salad like homemade lemon dressing). I recommend this place 🙂
Loved the food 👌🏼 We had the (greek [fish) of the day] & octopus salad & shrimp with starter. &: very tasty 😋 special thanks to the staff for helping with skeleton detractation 😄 ❤️ the pictures on the menu are very realistic/well done! I forgot the name of the fish, so let's call him gorbeh 🐈

My family & I just had our Easter lunch here & it was delicious & plentiful. Served in platters for 6 people we had chicken,lamb,fries & salad. Can't forget the crispy calamari, very good. An intimate pleasant afternoon. Thank you to great staff. Definitely recommend.
Vraiment wow, le poulet la salade & les frites très très bon! Le service impécable, des serveurs souriants & gentils. C'est devenu mon poulet portugues #1
Great place, good portugese chicken. I get a half-chicken plate every time I go & it comes with rice & fries & some salad. It's so good! The whole staff is friendly, professional & efficient. This is a well managed establishment & I'm gonna keep coming back again & again. In fact, I can't stop coming.
La poutine est servie avec du fromage râpé. Je ne la comprend pas celle là. C'était vraiment pas bon. Riz & patates froide. La salade manquait de finesse, mauvais choix de vinaigrette & trop d'oignons rouge. Belle maîtrise des saveurs & belle cuisson des viandes. Mais la poutine !! Sacrament que nous étions déçu !
