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.

1st time at Galo & 1st time posting a review. This small restaurant delivers BIG. Food & service were excellent, thank you Tania for the recommendations. The platters served us well. Grilled custard tarts - delicious.

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.
