We have ordered here many times & in March we had ordered & it was not the same as we remembered…having written a review Paolo the owner was kind enough to reach out & we spoke about the problem & offered another meal well today we ordered & it was absolutely delicious! From the chicken to the salad & fries everything was spot on & how we remembered it. So bravo on customer service & definitely always going to your jarry location!

The chicken pieces were very small, too dry & little meat on them. The only good thing is the portion size if that's your thing

The poutine with Portuguese chicken is delicious. Some of the best Portuguese chicken in Montreal! I recommend getting the spicy sauce with it!

Uber Eats order- No comment on atmosphere or service.
I got the half chicken meal which came with a generous selection of three sides as opposed to the typical two, nice variety too. The potatoes were nice but not the particular style I was hoping for, don't think it was worth the extra $2.25, should be same price as other sides IMO. Chicken was delectable but hardly saucy. Overall this was a huge meal & I actually had enough for a whole plate the next day which is rare for me. Great value & quality just beat out by other competitors in the category I know of in the Plateau.

Great restaurant for dine in or take out. Their chicken is great, of course, but don't overlook their excellent seafood!
I had the grilled sardine appetizer & the grilled calamari appetizer & they both came with a generous & tasty salad. This place is definitely worth more than one visit!
