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.
most of the food is good, but the fries were way too soggy & oily, so much so that each fry was literally bursting oil in my mouth when i was eating it. very unpleasant & i honestly couldn't eat the fries. Chicken is still delicious & good, but a bit underflavored compared to other Portuguese chicken spots.
Also, I wish they could bring back the taro protein bowl. it was the best thing on their menu
Both the bowl & the poutine were fantastic. The Portuguese chicken flavor really stood out & was clearly high quality. There can be a bit of a lunchtime rush, but the lines move quickly.

The restaurant has an interesting concept & it wasn't clear when we walked in if they offered dine in or take out. No one was there to greet us at the door. The kitchen/counter is level below & we had literally go to find the waitress & ask her to serve us… other than that, their 3 course tasting menu is amazing. Unlimited side dishes & an opportunity to taste all the best dishes on their menu. I personally found the ribs to be a tougher side but the chicken was perfectly tender. For 27$ each, it's a steal!
Most of the authentic Portugese churrasqueira places are huddled around the Plateau or more north than that, so Campo fills an open niche for downtown dining. This restaurant is perfectly located for an office lunch break, the casual settings allow you to get in/out at your own pace as the food is served very swiftly. The chicken was of great quality, the sauce wasn't exactly hittin but still some great meat. The sides were enjoyable too.
The chicken, while fairly good, seemed not as good as Nando's. The cooking left it dry in places. The sides: poutine, salad, & coleslaw were ok, while the Portguese potatoes were quite good. Staff was amiable.

Only hiccup was the table d'hote...on Facebook, it says 27$/ for 2 people, where as there website says each...should clear that up abit...but no complaints...was delicious & will return
Excellent endroit pour arrêter dîner. De bonnes saveurs portugaises & la propriétaire Sandra qui a été sur le plancher durant l'entièreté de mon dîner pour s'assurer que tout le monde est bien servi, que personne ne manque de rien & que le restaurant demeure propre. Belle ambiance, beau décor ! J'y retournerai !
Excellent expérience sur la terrasse extérieure du Campo! J'ai pris la poutine qui était délicieuse. Service sympathique & rapide ! Je recommande l'endroit!

Sandra & her family have been serving some of the best & haute-est cuisine in Quebec for decades. We are so lucky to have the best chicken right here in such a beautifully run little spot. Obrigado!!
After so much exciting news of this fairly new restaurant I was looking forward to tasting its Portugais chicken. After all, being part of the acclaimed Ferreira Café it should be a slam dunk. Sorry, it was one of the worst restaurant experiences of all time. Ordered 1/4 chicken, potatoes roasted under to dripping fat of the birds, sides of cole slaw & Caesar salad & everything was Terrible. Chicken was dry & stringy, potatoes were hard & had no taste. Salads were an after thought. I was blown away by just how bad this dining experience was. Bye the way, the place was empty & the music was so loud that I could not talk to my guest. Sorry, I don't normally post reviews but Campo is terrible.
Pretty tasty chicken. We were just passing by & decided to walk in & glad we did. You can sit down or takeout at the restaurant, we decided to sit down.
We ordered the'table d'hôte' which was a great way to try a lot of menu items. It was quite filling & we had to get half of the food packed along with the dessert.
The chicken was nice a juicy & their bbq sauce was very delicious. It had a nice tangy & smoky flavour. I also really liked the croquettes & olives. The ribs fell off the bone.
Would definitely eat here again! Also love the logo… so cute!
opted for the set menu for two. The food was good, but overall, the prices were much higher compared to other Portuguese chicken spots. The quality was also a bit lower than expected. The service was excessively slow-it took almost 2 hours to finish our set meal. There were several staff members, but it seemed like only one was really trying to assist customers. She was very kind, but the others didn't seem as attentive, which made the overall experience feel rather average.
I had always wanted to visit this restaurant, but had never had the chance.
I ended up going to their kiosk in the marche atwater.
I chose the chicken sandwich combo with salad & maison chips.
The salad came with such a small pot of dressing that half the salad was completely unseasoned.
The chicken was juicy, but the seasoning was strange. I didn't like it & was very disappointed, as theoretically it should be good, especially as the chicken is grilled. I left that lunch very disappointed.
