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.
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!
Campo was an amazing dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, & the portions were incredibly generous. The kids' menu was a nice touch - my little ones loved it! The vibe of the restaurant felt like enjoying a home-cooked meal, but with a fun takeout twist. It was warm, inviting, & perfect for a relaxed meal with family. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for great food & a cozy atmosphere!

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.
Une excellente idée pour les partys de bureau! Le service traiteur offre plusieurs options de menu & fait même la livraison au parc!! Un repas gourmand que tous ont apprécié, merci!
