Siamo venuti di domenica, nonostante avessimo prenotato abbiamo dovuto aspettare più di 20 minuti. Dopo l'ordinazione sono passati altri 30 minuti almeno prima che arrivassino le portate e si sono dimenticati di portare l'antipasto. Hanno dimenticato pure di portare l'acqua. Ho dato 2 al servizio solo perché per scusarsi degli errori e dell'attesa ci hanno regalato un antipasto e un drink nell'attesa. Al cibo ho dato 3 perché se il Sandwich Leitao era buono ma nel mix di carne, il pollo era buono ma la carne era secca. All'ambiente ho dato 3 perché il locale è veramente piccolo anche se il bagno è molto carino. Le attese sono di casa in questo posto, anche per pagare, si deve andare alla cassa, non ti portano il conto al tavolo e se prima di te va ha pagare una grande tavolata, devi fare la fila. Mi dispiace ma io ci ritornerei solo per i panini e facendo servizio da asporto.

What a great service, the staff is simply amazing!! We loved the grilled calamari, it was so delicious! Everything was tasty, the chicken! & the Sangria was on point! We will definitely go back.
J'ai pris un combo familial. Les quantités étaient bonnes, poulet goûteux, mais les frites étaient molles & la salade maison très peu garnie : laitue avec trois quartiers de tomate, deux tronçons de concombre & une tranche d'oignon rouge.
J'ai mangé sur place aujourd'hui avec ma femme franchement, c'est le meilleur poulet à Montréal !
Je vous recommande fortement le combo familial pour emporter , autour de 50 $, idéal pour 3 à 4 personnes, surtout en saison chaude.
On mange souvent au parc, c'est devenu une petite tradition pour nous.
Je suis un habitué & je tiens à saluer l'excellent travail du propriétaire, que je connais depuis son tout premier emplacement. Il mérite vraiment qu'on reconnaisse la qualité de ce qu'il fait.
Had a wonderful experience at Porto Poulet! The food was absolutely incredible! full of authentic Portuguese flavours & clearly made with care. From start to finish, every dish we tried was delicious. The owner was so welcoming & made us feel right at home, & the entire staff was friendly & attentive. There's a real sense of passion & heart behind this place. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing Portuguese cuisine & warm hospitality!
Went there on a Saturday night with my husband. The service was perfect & the food delicious! The restaurant was packed with 2 large groups & they still gave us an excellent & quick service. We will definitely go back this summer to eat on the terrace.
