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
Best service! Rien a dire. Par contre la cuisse de poulet est ridicule. Pilon minuscule & haut de cuisse sans viande. Come on guys. & les prix non justifiés Natas a 7$ l'unité avant taxes & 3 sardines a 18$ sachant qu'un kg est autour de 10$. Revoyez prix. Je n'y retournerai sûrement pas.....
Un bel endroit dans le quartier Villeray. Pas trop loin du parc Jarry. Les assiettes sont copieuses. Services rapides. Délicieux en tout temps. Facile aussi pour emporter dans le parc pour profiter de la belle température.
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.
