Food was really good, generous portions. Staff was nice. Place needs a 2nd door, every time someone opened up the front door, the cold air would come gushing in & made our food colder faster. Also the ventilation wasn't great but the prices & selection was good.

Does food taste good ? Apparently.... But if its as clean as their practice which usually go in pair. Probably saver that way... Flavor may hide slop but slop may not hide that they do bad practice. Wouldnt recommend. In general food shops that lazy the phone handle cash & food without washing.
what an amazing experience of having first time portugal cuisine . loved the poutine & can't have enough words to describe how me being gym rat having my full nutritional chicken meal bowl 🥣 .Taste & health no compromise 🤤🤤
Food is ok. Prices are good. You get your food pretty fast.
Unfortunately, I've had some so-so experiences with the food on a few occasions & that's why I can only give this place 3 stars.
One time I ordered a 2x chicken legs bowl. When I received my food in the bag, the bag felt a lot lighter than usual. So I opened up everything & I found the bowl was like 1/3 empty. So they definitely didn't give me enough rice &/or fries. I actually had to go back to the counter & show them & ask for some more rice.
The worst thing that has happened is 3 times now the chicken legs have been burnt. I know the chicken legs are precooked & they just put them on the grill to give them some color & extra flavor. Either the person grilling is not paying attention or they don't clean the grill very often, but 3 times now the chicken legs I've received have been burnt. The meat under the skin is fine, but the skin is definitely burnt because when I eat it there is a distinct burnt bitter flavor. It's not always like this, most of the time it's not burnt, but sometimes it is.
'Absolutely delicious! The peri-peri chicken is perfectly seasoned & juicy, & their poutine is a must-try. Everything was fresh & served quickly. Definitely my new favorite spot in Lasalle!
