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.

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.
