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 had lunch on business. No problem finding street parking on a weekday. Great service. Great food. We stayed quite a while & felt welcome. Recommended!
Superbe endroit pour festoyer que ce soit pour un lunch d'affaires ou souper en famille. Excellente nourriture. Super menu. Superbe liste de vins. Les frites valent tellement la peine d'être toutes manger ! Le poulet est MIAM tout comme l'ensemble du menu. Un repas à (re)planifier bientôt !

Un des meilleurs poulets portugais de Montréal. & que dire des frites fraîches! Elles sont fantastiques. Mon seul bémol - la vinaigrette de la salade qui ne goûte pas grand chose. J'ajoute habituellement ma vinaigrette à la salade familiale en take-out.
J'y achète du poulet grillé & des frites à emporter pour mes repas du week-end & de la semaine. Tout est parfait. Je suis dépendante de ce lieu. Un immense merci pour votre générosité.
The food is nice,however the manager is really rude & had no polite attitude.
I think he feels like people will come to his restaurant no matter what. But I dined in today & got a cold attitude like I was eating there for free
Food always tastes better with a greater & polite service
Last night is the first time when I & my neighbor dined at Galo & we were very impressed by the delicious food & friendly service. The lady who served us is extremely friendly. efficient & helpful & she recommended excellent dishes for both of us!! Thumb up!!!
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!
I called 10min before asked if terrace seating availability. & told them we were in construction cloths. They not only accepted us with welcome feeling but sat us down on the terrace. Food was unbelievably delicious. The chicken, the shrimp. Dessert. still makes my mouth water thinking about it. Great experience. In & out perfect for lunch. Thank you to are waiter Louis
