We were looking forward to this one! Pork & chorizo were excellent. However, the chicken was dry, bland, overcooked. Fries were great.

No drinks menu, so when the bill came I was surprise to see they actually charge 15$ for a glass of white wine (The bottle was a Catarina, the bottle is 15$ at the SAQ).

The service was disappointing - two overworked waiters were constantly running around, clearly stressed. They were kind, but they couldn't take the time to give the service you'd expect. Owner seemed very friendly.

So yes, overall I get that this is a popular spot but I can't say I recommend it.

I've been going to this restaurant a couple of times a year for at least 5 years with my girlfriends. The food has always been amazing & the waiters are mostly friendly & helpful. Last time we were there, the server messed up the bill & got snippy with us, but we saw it as a one-off thing. I had asked for an extra chicken to take home & he included it in the bill to be split. He didn't think nor ask how the bill was to be presented. I was there again tonight. Like many restaurants, their prices have jumped but what perturbed me was an issue regarding the water. The waiter asked us if we wanted still or sparkling water. We said still, assuming it would be tap water like it always has been. Imagine the surprise when my friend picked up the bill & there was a $13 charge for two bottles of water. We argued the toss because a) it's never happened before & b) the waiter never asked if we wanted just tap water. Yes it came in a bottle, but I didn't notice him cracking the lid & most places recycle bottles to save our planet, pouring tap water into them. I've just been in another country & the stipulation was made very clear at every single place we went to so we were all a bit miffed. Now, the guy could've been nice & agreed to cover one bottle of water as an honest mistake, but instead he argued the toss & stood his ground. It was imported Portuguese water afterall! (Who the F cares about that?) Hoodwinking customers is not exactly a nice way to do business Mr. Galo owner/operator on tonight. Your chicken may be 5 stars but your service is in the sewer. BE WARNED PEOPLE. I will not be in a hurry to go back there in principle

Food is delicious, we will definitely go back, but be aware do not take wine by the glass, (there’s no menu for the alcohol so you’re kind of ordering with your eyes closed) the white wine Catarina 15$ a bottle at SAQ they charge 15$/glass & it’s a small wine glass…… I will definitely look next time for the price of a bottle because that was really too expensive.
