A new fast-food concept in downtown Montreal, CAMPO specializes in local, 100% grain-fed Portuguese chicken. At Campo, diners can enjoy their chicken—served whole, in a roll, in a sandwich, or in poutine—in a modern, authentic environment, or they can take it to go.
Campo earns praise for succulent Portuguese chicken, juicy meat and a range of sauces. The table d'hote is repeatedly highlighted as a great value to sample multiple dishes, and the vibe is described as cozy with attentive, friendly service. The downtown location and options for dine-in or takeout make it convenient for lunch or casual dinners, with nat a, croquettes, salads and even poutine often named as high points. However, some visits fall short with slow or inattentive service, long waits to be noticed, or food arriving cold and with overpowering sauces. A few dishes are noted as underseasoned and portions can feel small, fries sometimes soggy or oily, and one Caesar on the menu drew criticism. There are also stronger complaints about price or overall value and a very negative experience tied to a quiet empty dining room and loud music in another visit, while many others still say Campo is a solid, convenient choice and would return for the chicken, sides and friendly staff.
Campo is a must if you want to try a Portuguese restaurant in Montreal! The chicken, bread, & fries are insane, & their salads are also so fresh & filling. The location on de Maisonneuve/Peel gets quite busy at lunch because it's so popular, I suggest arriving before noon to avoid the wait - I once waited 30 mins to get food to go but it's always worth it :)
Wow wow wow! I seriously can't get enough of their salads, they're absolutely incredible. I always go for the one with sweet potatoes & it never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly juicy & flavourful, I always want to add extra! The dressing has the perfect sweet & tangy balance, & the sweet potatoes are melt-in-your-mouth soft. We also shared a chorizo on the side & it was hands down the best thing ever.

The customer service is great! Fanny & Rafaelle were very courteous & helpful. The food was good & filling. Portuguese chicken never disappoint. Definitely recommend this place
what a lovely atmosphere! My partner & i visited around 7pm on a friday, & there was plenty space to sit! the restaurant seating area is smaller than most restaurants so just be sure to go at a time that isnt too crowded. The servers were very kind to us, refilled our waters, came to check on us. We shared half a chicken ! we chose potatoes & coleslaw & boy oh boy, it did well for the two of us:) The meal balanced itself, the chicken was perfection & flavourful, & the vinegary coleslaw added that missing touch. The potatoes were soft & a little sour, but very much enjoyed. Affordable! 26$ for half the chicken!
I've tried the one at the time out food market. It was all right, no wow factor. I did have the poutine with chicken though, maybe it's not the right dish for a review but still..
I always get either the sweet potato salad or the caesar salad. Everything is so good, the chicken is amazing & the flavours in the salads are delicious! The natas are really good too.
This was the first time that I try Portuguese food & It was so good. I ordered the poutine plate which comes with juicy chicken & their tasty sauce. I appreciate that the chicken pieces quantity was fulfilling, not just few bites. P.S. I asked for the gravy to be aside. I also tried their Nata, which wasn't the best I've eaten but it was pretty decent. It's definitely worth going back there to try their chicken platters.
I love the food at Campo!! My colleagues & I are addicted to the Ceasar salad with Piri Piri chicken. It is sooo good. The chicken is juicy, tangy & has the perfect kick. You can add some more with their home-made hot sauce (you can also buy it at the Boutique to bring home, which I so recommend - alongside their sous-vide chicken you can cook on your BBQ). Recently I tried their garden salad with quinoa & the vinaigrette is amazing. The menu is short & well executed. You can order Portuguese wines as well. The place is small & packed during lunch. It can be a little chaotic with the lines to pay/get your food. I don't really like the tables, it feels cramped. It is worse on their super small terrace during summer. That's really my only complain. You can have it delivered with Uber Eats & they even have a catering service that we tried (amazing!!). You need to try!

I used to love campo, I've been eating there for years. However recently the grilled chicken platter has been tasting bland, it seems like the campo sauce has been modified or taken out altogether, not sure why but it tastes less citrusy & there is less taste overall, it's just plain grilled chicken. The sides are good & im pretty sure everything else is good but I hope they fix the sauce situation.
Ordered with uber eats the corn chicken bowl With EXTRA chicken & this is what I got! Two pieces added. Totally not worth the cost. I think they don't add anything for whoever's pays for extra. Save your money & go somewhere else like Poulet Rouge. The portion is like a kids sized. They only good thing was the Natas, it was delicious.

Excellent little gem! The chicken is wonderful, they use a special spice which makes it extremely tasty. We also had a nice quinoa bowl with a salad dressing which was heavenly. Really recommend it!
The chicken thigh was moist with a slightly crispy skin. The sauce was pretty good as well. The potatoes & natas were ok. The chicken poutine was ok. Not the best I've had in Montreal.
We tried campo today for the first time & had a good experience. The food was really good we got the full chicken, a side of poutine (upgraded) & coleslaw/green salads. All the food tasted really good but I would've preferred more sauce on the chicken. There was hot sauce on the table but no peri peri sauce- I saw later that you can purchase a small container of the sauce for $1.5 so probably would do that. The service was ok, our waitress knew we didn't speak French but continued talking to us in French anyway. I assume it's an honest mistake though & she was really nice. Overall would recommend & would come back!
