Review Summary

Grillade Portugais Imperio draws praise for a warm, family run atmosphere, generous portions, and authentic Portuguese flavors that feel like a celebration in every dish. The reviews highlight welcoming, attentive service, especially for large groups, and a cozy, lively ambiance that suits both casual dinners and celebrations. Dishes such as octopus, grilled squid, entrecote steak, and the house chicken are repeatedly described as delicious, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, with generous portions and consistent satisfaction. The seafood and meat platters, along with a range of sides and cocktails, are noted as strong points, while a few preparations are described as very garlicky or salty. Parking is mentioned as a practical plus, and the overall impression is that this family owned spot delivers reliable quality, good value, and a friendly, convivial dining experience that keeps guests returning.

Chicken burnt & dry. Octopus very bland & rubbery. Fries had an overused oil taste. Service was not bad.

Great Portuguese chicken. The whole menu is delicious. Our place of choice for lunch meetings. One of the rare places with parking in Montreal. Service is also great & friendly.

Tried this place for the first time today so I went for a classic.. Spicy half chicken. Everything in my plate was delicious. Service was fast. I'm a big fan of Portuguese chicken & it's in the top 10 I had for sure. Price is fair. I'll be back to try their octopus!

What a gem of a restaurant! The service is amazing & you can feel the family atmosphere. Everybody is smiling, super accommodating & they truly care about their clients. We have been here twice & are going back tonight with family! Each time we were welcomed with open arms & enjoyed the most amazing meal! The paella is absolutely delicious & can only be ordered on the weekend. Grab it if you can as it sells out fast! The chicken, steak , salads are fantastic as are all the desserts! The wine list is very good & their recommendations of Portuguese wine was spot on & very much appreciated.

Great food & amazing service. I had the garlic shrimp & the grilled octupos it was soooooo tender. Never had octopos this good. Had the grilled chicken it was amazing with there house friends & the salad dressing was to die for. Finish with there house dessert "cream of heaven" trust me it has its name right. I really recommend this place to everyone who like good food for a good price wtih amazing service. You should definitely try it.😀

Nicely decorated & well-kept restaurant. I would love to give this place a high review because the food was very good, however we waited Over ONE hour for one grilled octopus entrée (did not like the generic bean salad, would heave preferred more octopus!), a soup for our youngest child (should have been brought asap), spicy grilled chicken was excellent, pork chops (tough & cold, seemed they were ready a while ago), $21.95 for half a rack of measly, dry ribs (too much salad on the plate as filler), my dish was very good, grilled cod with greens & veggies at $26, a little steep, but the healthiest of our orders, however rather salty (must hVe been salted cod, personally I grill my cod fresh). If it weren't for the extremely long wait (the place was not even close to being full!), the pork chops & ribs may have been better... & don't sit near the kitchen I wreaked of smoke & my eyes were tearing the whole time... Went on sept. 27, 2014
