Monteiro is described as a casual, affordable spot offering flavorful juicy chicken with a crisp exterior and a range of well seasoned sauces, including a spicy piri piri option, along with generous bowls and poutines that many reviewers rate among the best in Montreal. The menu is praised for simple efficient Portuguese inspired fare, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere with ample seating; the staff are repeatedly noted for warmth and friendliness, making the experience feel approachable for non French speakers. Value for money is a common theme, with substantial portions and reasonable prices, and many readers mention returning regularly. There are a few critiques, such as one dish where the rice was a bit dry or occasional concerns about wait times, and at least one comment about hygiene practices, but the overall tone is highly positive with stories of tasty meals, consistent quality, and a reliable quick option for lunch or takeout, including the Monteiro sandwich and piri piri bowls.
Leur bole de poulet est délicieux, par contre il serait bien d'avoir une vrai sauce piquante pour ceux ayant une bonne tolérance, car la sauce la plus piquante offerte est pour les débutants

I tried their Piri piri bol with éspicy sauce & i must say that it is seriously one of the best. Chicken was juicy & well seasoned. The place has a cozy vibe & the staff are super friendly. Will definitely be coming back!
Chicken is always great. I recommend the burgers or the plates. Rice is tasty & the salad is pretty basic. The sauce they use is delicious & the fries are amazing as well.
Best poutine in the city. I don't care what you think you know about poutine; the Monteiro poutine with the sauce is the best ever. The rest of the menu is amazing too. All around an amazing place (this is also the best branch)
So, let me tell you about this bomb peri peri chicken joint I hit up recently! Picture this: juicy, succulent chicken that's perfectly seasoned to absolute perfection. I mean, it's like they sprinkled magic dust on it or something. & don't even get me started on the sides - the yellow rice & fries were like a match made in heaven. Creamy, savory, & just downright delicious. The sauce they serve with the chicken just got the right amount of kick to it. Like, enough to make your taste buds dance but not so much that you're reaching for the fire extinguisher. & to balance it all out, they throw in this tangy, fresh salad that adds the perfect zing to every bite. The service was amazing! These folks were on it! Quick, friendly, & just all-around awesome. I accidentally ordered one can of soda instead of two, & they were like, "No worries, fam," & gave us an extra can on the house. Talk about hospitality done right! Overall, if you're in the mood for some seriously good peri peri chicken & a side of top-notch service, this place is where it's at. 10/10 would definitely go back for more!
Best chicken I've had in Montreal,very juicy & well seasoned. The sauce for the fries is a must try. Clean,cozy atmosphere & staff were incredibly friendly. Gave us free water bottles & filled up the leftover for takeout with more sauce & fries. Made my day! 10/10
Super bon endroit pour manger portugais. Le proprio est EXTRA, je le connais 😉 Allez-y faire un tour, vous ne serez pas déçus & la sauce piquante est VRAIMENT PIQUANTE pour les amateurs d'épices!

Le poulet épicé est délicieux, autant seul qu'en sandwich.
Les frites ne sont pas les meilleures. Elles pourraient être plus longue.
Essayer la sauce algérienne avec les frites! C'est trooop bon !
Bon rapport qualité prix 👏
