First: The grilled chicken is spectacular.

Second: I used to live in the area & took-out chicken on a regular basis 10 years ago. The chicken was excellent but the service was terrible, rude people giving your take-out like you're an animal.

Third: I moved to the West-Island where there's basically no great Portuguese chicken in sight (I'm looking at you Tiagos Chicken). Today I finally decided to take the drive east & go back to Braseiro for take-out & it was the best idea because the chicken was not only spectacular like mentioned above but the service was actually very nice. The guy at the bar was very welcoming & nice, even the cook was pretty cool considering that he had a lot on his plate. The ambience at the restaurant seemed very nice & cool.

Fourth: I used to love their chicken back in the day even if the service was subpar when taking out, it was still worth it. I'm happy to report that today, my little experience was great & I'll be much more inclined on going back more often now that they have figured out how to serve people like human being lol

My husband & I had the pleasure of dining at Braseiro. The food is authentic Portuguese. Our server was excellent, we found out that our parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950's, his obviously to Montreal, mine to a small community in Ontario. I told him we like to try Portuguese restaurants in our travels & I told him the grilled octopus was better than the one I had in Lisbon. Thank you to server's ( I forgot his name) to his mother who continues to make her Portuguese dishes. I highly recommend this spot if you enjoy real Portuguese cuisine.

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.

This place is amazing!!! I love their food, & everyone there is so kind & helpful. Their piri-piri sauce is the BEST! I just picked some up today. I've eaten at a lot of Portuguese restaurants, & I've never had a piri piri as good as theirs. Highly, highly recommend!!!!
