It does not look like much, but great food, everything was fresh, delicious, huge portions of fries. It is a bit hard to find parking in the neighborhood, a lot of construction as well, it does not help businesses.View more

We decided on a last-minute meal of chicken & salad, & this place didn't disappoint. We were seated quickly. The grilled chicken roasted to pretty perfect, not dry, the fries were crispy & delicious, the warm bread crunchy & although the salad had a bit too much vinegar, still tasty. & that hot spice tho! While the food was tasty , our waiter was rude, slow, & inattentive. Had to ask for water ,utensils & the bill , 2x's. Fortunately, another younger waiter who brought our food , provided excellent service with a smile. Overall, imo, this was one of the two best fast food Portuguese chicken in Montreal. Coco Rico being the other.View more

Simplicity at its best. The waiter was excellent (I rarely get to say that), the food was delicious & I recommend ordering their piri-piri sauce in a jar to go as well. A must try for anyone craving real portuguese flavors ✌️View more

One of the only restaurants left in Montreal that still has the same portion size from 2019. Price went up a titch, but that's to be expected. Still phenomenal. Great chicken, amazing ribs, love the spicy house sauce. Highly recommend.View more

Arguably worth coming to Montreal just to come here. Incredible food. Servers proud of the food they make. Been to 3 star Michelin restaurants much less gratifying than here. Don't give it a second thought.View more

I am lost for words & so hesitant to write this because I want this place to stay a secret - MAGNIFICENT. From the warmest welcome of the most lovely staff to the bread & the sangria & the lamb & the rabbit, & such good value - absolutely incredible. Thank you. Obrigado. Thank you a hundred times. Do not change a thing. We will be back for dessert ASAP ❤️View more

Probably some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Went with my Portuguese friend, & he loved it too. The chicken was amazing, & I don't know what they did to those peppers but they were to die foView more

Good food. Have been going here for 15 years. Consistently good food. Predictable & quickly becomes a favourite. Their house hot sauce is very good. The portions are good & the decor is very cozy.View more

We popped into Restaurant Jano after we spied the board out front advertising chicken quarters. We were happy to see many other delicious entrees on the menu. I ordered what turned out to be perhaps the most delicious lamb chops I've had in my life (one of my favorites whenever I have the choice). The host was welcoming & made us feel relaxed right away. The bill was surprisingly small for such good food. I could not feel any better about this place. 6 out of 5 stars.View more

Big fan of Portugal, we've tested yesterday this restaurant that was well noted. Honestly, even though I like Portuguese food, the chicken was awfully dry, the fries were there to fill your stomach than anything & the wine was flatView more

Pretty great meal, but the chicken was a little dry. The abundant amount of Piri Piri sauce made up for it.View more
