About

Galo specializes in authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled chicken prepared with traditional spice marinades. The menu features tender poultry cooked over an open flame to ensure a charred exterior and juicy interior texture. Signature offerings include pressed sandwiches packed with sliced chicken, fresh vegetables, and savory sauces on crusty rolls. Guests encounter a straightforward menu focused on high-quality proteins and classic side dishes like seasoned fries and crisp salads. The kitchen emphasizes bold, piri-piri heat profiles alongside cooling citrus notes that define regional cooking styles. This establishment maintains a functional atmosphere dedicated to efficient service and consistent flavor delivery. Every portion reflects standard techniques used for preparing Mediterranean poultry, prioritizing substance and flavor intensity over elaborate presentation or complex culinary fusion methods.

Galo is a beautiful gem of the Town of Mount Royal. The owners are wonderful & take care of their clients impeccably. I've tasted many things here including the grilled octopus, the mixed meat platter & the chicken sandwich! All were delicious! I enjoy their outdoor terrace especially!

This is the best chicken in town. The meat was tender & perfectly seasoned. Calamari was excellent as well, & I normally don't eat seafood.

Excellent food. Seasoned perfectly to my liking (I had salmon & shrimps with fries) food was so good, my son ate half of it. (He's almost 2) on our table we also had the chicken, chorizo, lamb & grilled calamari. Everything was served at the same time! Everything smelled & tasted fantastic!!! I mean seriously, I would have had seconds just because!

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.

The food is awesome. It is a really nice friendly place. The atmosphere wasn't really there. It felt like a place to eat & have a conversation, even if with noone but the staff. No music whatsoever but was calm enough. The chicken & the calamari tasted great but it took a bit of time before we got the food.
