Review Summary

Galo is described in reviews as a cozy, family friendly spot with great value and consistently tasty Portuguese fare, where the chicken and chorizo are repeatedly praised, fries and salads are reliable highlights, and a menu that also features grilled meats, seafood, and lamb keeps takeout and dine in customers returning. The ambiance is welcoming and lively, with staff frequently noted as friendly and attentive, while some visits highlight busy service on peak nights and occasional moments of slower or stressed service. Terrace seating is appreciated on warm days, and overall portions are generous, making it a good option for lunch with coworkers or for family dinners. A few comments mention a missing drinks menu or a charge on wine, and a rare review notes a less courteous interaction with management, but many diners call Galo one of their favorites and say the food is consistently delicious and well seasoned.

We got to try a bit of everything at Galo by ordering the Grillade de Viande-a great choice for sharing. The waiter suggested adding lamb to the platter, which was a nice option. All the meats were well-grilled & tasty. The staff was friendly, even though they were clearly busy (which makes sense on a Friday night). Overall, a solid spot for Portuguese barbecue.

Nice small little restaurant that serves awesome Portuguese food. Meats are well seasoned & marinated & never overcooked.

Amazing Portuguese food! I'm visiting this place for years now, it's a hidden gem in Mount Royal. The food, the service & the selction of imported Portuguese wines are the reasons why you should go to Galo. You should also come here in the summer to enjoy the tables outside if you can.

Galo is top notch, perfect food paired with impeccable service, everything on the menu is delicious, the Portuguese sausage is a little bit salty but it's just another reason to order a beer. Easy access & tons of street parking.

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
