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.

Je ne suis un mordu de la cuisine portugaise mais je sais tout de même l'apprécié. & je dois dire que, pour cette rare fois où j'ai mangé du poulet portugais, j'ai vraiment eu l'impression qu'il s'agissait du meilleur! Le poulet était parfaitement cuit, tendre & très goûteux! J'ai aussi pris le sandes (sandwhich) au porc en entrée, accompagné de chorizo qu'on a partagé entre amis. Ils savent cuire leurs viandes, il n'y a pas de doute. Sans oublier la délicieuse & rafraîchissante sangria! On va se le dire : ce fût un festin!
Very authentic & lovely people. Food was delicious & very reasonable for what you're getting. I'm a fan. Can't wait to go back & try some of their other dishes.
