Très bonnes grillades portugaises à la bonne franquette. Service au comptoi

Great place to get some portuguese chicken ! They have an indoor & outdoor seating area. You can order your dishes at the front & then sit to eat (kind of like a fast food restaurant, but healthier ) ! We had 2 family meals that came out to 81$ which is a phenomenal price! 2 chickens with 4 different sides! If you're looking for good quality food that won't break the bank, this is your go to place!

I'm glad this place reopened. Still very affordable. One portion sufficed me for two days, & it's delicious as I remember it from three years ago. A must when in Montreal!
