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.

Would not recommend. Food is not good quality. Service was poor (we ordered two meals, & they messed up both of them), & atmosphere/decor was lacking. There are much better Portuguese restaurants with much better food than this place.

I came here for my sons baptism & the staff is very nice but we were disappointed with the food. It wasn't as good as it used to be, their octopus was so bad & other food was completely tasteless. I found out after that they changed chef. They should really change chef again or get the old one back because he or she is not very good.

La nourriture est bonne je n'est rien à dire par contre Carine K. La serveuse elle a une attitude désagréable! Je viens souvent chercher ma commande & aucun sourire, 0 service à la clientèle! Sa se voie qu'elle n'aime pas travailler! Que sa sois pour emporter ou manger au restaurant elle est aucunement souriante! J'ai passé un dimanche soir. Une chance la nourriture elle est succulente & prix très raisonnable
