The menu centers on succulent rotisserie poultry served alongside generous portions of poutine topped with chorizo, sautéed greens, and seasoned fries. Each order emphasizes robust flavors developed through high-heat grilling that renders skin crisp while keeping meat tender. The kitchen balances these bold proteins with side dishes like creamy coleslaw and classic salads to complete the meal. Patrons consume these hearty offerings within a functional space characterized by communal setups and efficient service flows. This establishment remains a destination for those seeking straightforward preparations of Iberian-inspired grilled favorites served without unnecessary complication or pretense. The commitment to consistent heat management and quality sourcing defines the primary culinary output of this venue.

Best rotisserie chicken in town, dare i say. Their poutine is one of my favorite but some may say its not really traditional poutine. Their custard tart is a must try. If you like their sauce, try asking for fresh ones in a to go cup rather than buying the bottled ones. Parking & seating can be an issue, but i always have mine to go & its still good after 30 minutes of driving.

It's 100% worth the hype!!! The chicken sandwich is hands down the best I've ever had & on top of that the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get, & it includes taxes

Thought is was a jem of a place. Its all about the food here. The chicken was devine. Mergez sausages were to die for. All was simply great. The prices are very reasnable especially when you consider the size of each portion can feed at least 3 hungry mouths.
Place can use a refurbishment & a major cleaning. Lineups get really long but now I see why. It will be one of my top 10 Montreal must eat establushments.

End of evening but gave the last of their chicken & sausage to a customer ordering 4 poutines for himself when there were 5-7 other people in line waiting for chicken orders. You're a chicken shop come on do better!

My first time there. They have Portuguese chicken. Very tasty. It's not that kind of fancy restaurants. However, if you like busy places you will enjoy the ambiance.

Excellente expérience! J'ai pris la poutine au poulet & chorizo, & elle était vraiment délicieuse. Le poulet était tendre, le chorizo apportait juste ce qu'il faut de goût & de piquant, & les portions étaient très généreuses. Il y a souvent une bonne file d'attente, mais ça vaut largement le coup d'attendre. Mon conseil : prenez votre commande pour emporter & allez la déguster au parc La Fontaine tout près. C'est la combinaison parfaite! J'y retournerai sans hésiter.

The best Portuguese chicken in Montreal

Ce restaurant était sur notre bucket-list depuis quelques années. Nous sommes allés hier! Nous avions de hautes attentes en raison des reviews & de la file à l'extérieur! Nous avons attendu près d'une heure. C'est plaisant de voir la chaîne de production derrière le comptoir! Les portions sont généreuses & le rapport qualité prix est bien. Nous avons été déçus par rapport à nos attentes: peau de poulet dans la poutine, morceaux de cartilage & même un os… Nous nous attendions à des frites assaisonnées à la portugaise: nope. C'était une « bonne poutine », mais ce n'était pas excellent. Nous ne comptons pas nécessairement y retourner: la poutine Poule Mouillée ne fait pas partie de notre top 3.

Long lines but it goes fast. Only 1 clean bathroom stall, gender neutral.
Petite poutine (no. 8 - chicken, chorizo, gravy, cheese, with fries) is perfect amount for one person. Love how the fries are still crunchy with the huge amount of tasty gravy & cheese. The chicken is tender & juicy (no dry bits). Wasn't a huge fan of the chorizo but still tasted good.
Love the huge amount of toppings. With just the right amount of salt.
Service is fast & polite.

Checked out this place with a few friends & it was good! Late afternoon lunch, was still quite busy. Ordered half chicken with rice & salad, which was a large portion & had pretty good flavour. Also ordered a poutine, which was a large portion as well. Overall, the food was good, just a bit on the saltier side. Would recommend if your in the area if your looking for large portions & best value for your dollar. Check them out!
