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 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.

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.

Why? Why? We had been coming to Galo for many years but only recently returned. My husband, son & I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was attentive & the wine suggested by our waiter was delicious. Why the why? Why no English menus? At the very least, why not bilingual? We all speak French now but I still prefer my menus & services in English, wherever it can be legally & courteously offered. Our waiter courteously offered to help with any questions. They only question I have for this fine establishment - WHY?

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.
