Their chicken was like a brick of dryness worst Portuguese food I've eaten in my life

Fries are good & crispy, unseasoned though, could use a little salt. The piri piri sauce is very good & flavourful. The chicken is delicious but a bit dry. The chorico is huge & delicious. Overall good food that I would try again.
Norman
Decent poutine here. Cheese was good texture & lighter in taste. Gravy was not too heavy. Good amounts of chicken!
Stephen
Came for the delicious (chicken & chorizo) poutine. Stayed for the excellent spicy sauce.

I tried their Chorizo bowl(rice + salad) with spicy sauce & it was delicious!! The rice was very flavourful
One of the best meals I had in Montreal. A must try if you're into bowls.
Dominic
Disapointed. Ordered a chicken with spicy sauce & utensils. Got home. No sauce... no utensils. So i ate my dry chicken & cold fries & it was probably close to the worst portuguese chicken i ever had.
Nic
I'll give this place 5 stars just for the hot sauce. I drive from Vermont to stock up. Great hot sauce is all about flavor & consistency & this sauce has both!

Good first experience, nice food, Portugese beer available (with & without alcohol), had the chicken & chorizo rice bowl with good flavors & nice portion, however it had lots more chorizo & I would have preferred a balanced mix (or more chicken!). Would return, but in Le Central there are so many options that in the future I will explore other foods. Service was difficult due to their cashier system being down, had to pay cash or wait for a fix alongside other customers. Due to this issue, order was not relayed to the kitchen & after a 10-15 minute wait had to ask & then get it prepped, ended up eating after my partner. Le Central atmosphere is crowded, narrow paths, lots of elbow rubbing, but this is part of the experience & even if sometimes difficult to find a table, you go there for all of it. Will return!

Le restaurant est très sale il travaille avec la viande importé du Brésil alors il faut faire attention ou appeler le mapac

Comptoir rapide, on y sert aussi de la bière en bouteille & en cannette.

The food was tasty & nice, yet I wished they had an English menu as well.

Tried their chicken dish for lunch. It's in Le Central food court & could be crowded. Food was tasty & good volume. More on pricy side for fast food though.
Kelly
We liked the setting & how many options were inside- very relaxed & everyone could get something they liked. We ordered the spicy chicken & shrimp with rice & salad. The food was great, with a good amount of spice. The girl working the counter was not the friendliest though & was off putting.

J'y ai mangé à quelques reprises déjà & commandé sur Uber Eats ; à chaque fois, j'ai été extrêmement satisfaite des portions, de la présentation des plats & des incroyables saveurs de leur menu : poulet, riz, salade, sauces délicieux.
