On est tombés sur ce restaurant portugais par hasard, & honnêtement, très belle surprise. Dès l'arrivée à l'extérieur, on sent la cuisson au charbon de bois, ce qui met tout de suite l'eau à la bouche. L'endroit est compact & relax, avec un menu axé sur le poulet & les fruits de mer, plus quelques tapas traditionnels.
J'ai pris le'Prato Misto' & le recommande : une assiette généreuse, mixte de porc, boeuf, saucisse & poulet, servie avec salade, riz & frites. Vous pouvez choisir la cuisson du steak & le niveau d'épices. Le poulet était super tendre, & les viandes avaient ce goût authentique & fumé qu'on recherche d'un repas authentique portugais. Environ 90 % des plats sont cuisinés sur charbon de bois ce qui rend la viande & fruits de mer savoureux.
Petit conseil : réservez. À 18 h, le resto était déjà bien rempli… & pour une bonne raison.
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.
Best chiken I have ever eaten in my life I've tried other places around me never I'll change they are the best in 23 years of service I congradulate them

On a prit une entrée de calmars grillées & plat de sardines grillées. Tout était très bons, excellent service, bonnes portions. Ambiance familiale. On recommande!!
Excellente nourriture & choix varié. Nous avons bien aimé les sardines grillées & le poulet grillé. Service amical & professionnel. Nous y retournerons certainement.
Le poulet est délicieux ! Mon conjoint est portugais & il a adoré ! L'ambiance est simple & sans prétention & on s'y sent bien ! Un gros coup de coeur pour la poutine braseiro!

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.
