The chicken & the calamari are delicious. Never had anything bad here. Reservations are a must. They have 2 seatings: 6 & 8 PM. The service is ok but a smile would help a lot. The prices have gone up & the size of the chicken has been getting smaller & smaller.
Sept 2021 - Now that Covid is in affect there seems to be a lack of staff. Had trouble with one staff member who did not speak any English. She wanted to remove my plate even though I was still eating. I even had to tell her to leave the salt & pepper on the table while I was still eating.
Our waiter was great & the atmosphere was good.
Food is still great.
We went back May 23,2026 & the food is as good as ever.
Will we go back? Absolutely 💯

Absolutely amazing experience. The chicken was outstanding-perfectly tender on the inside & incredibly crispy on the outside. Every bite was packed with flavor. The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere felt authentic & true to its roots, which made the whole experience even better. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend!

You want real portuguese? This is the PLACE in Montreal. If you haven't tried it, you definitely should add it to your list. Best chicken on charcoal, delicious crispy fries & a lot of choices on the menu & best sangria. The all crew are amazing.

Portuguese chicken is seen as a fast casual option in Montreal, so I must make a point of saying this is a pretty nice restaurant. The prices are higher than Monteiro, but the food is on another level. They use a very nice house dressing on the salad. The chicken & the fish were excellent. They have a lot of seafood offerings. The service was excellent. It's a great place for a nice date. Try to get a reservation.

Tucked away like a well-kept secret, this Portuguese charcoal grill restaurant is far more than a neighborhood staple - it's a culinary pilgrimage for those craving authenticity with a touch of elegance. From the moment you step inside, the scent of smoldering charcoal & marinated meats transports you to the heart of Portugal, where tradition is not just respected - it's revered.

The ambiance strikes a rare balance: rustic yet refined. Warm wood tones, traditional Azorean tile accents, & an open grill set the tone, while attentive service & curated Portuguese wines elevate the experience.

The frango no churrasco - chicken grilled over open flame - is the soul of the menu. Crispy-skinned, deeply seasoned, & kissed by smoke, it's a masterclass in simplicity & depth. But the sophistication reveals itself in the sides: tender roasted vegetables, perfectly salted potatoes, & house-made piri-piri that's fiery yet balanced.

Don't skip the bacalhau - a dish that demands respect & delivers reward. The cod is buttery, the olive oil rich & aromatic, & the garlic confit melts on the tongue. Each bite feels like a nod to generations past, lovingly modernized.

For dessert, the pastel de nata arrives warm with a delicate brûlée top - a simple, elegant finale to a meal grounded in heritage & elevated with care.

In a city full of noise, this place doesn't shout - it speaks softly, with integrity. It's Portuguese to the core, but with the kind of quiet sophistication that invites both regulars & newcomers to feel like they've come home.
