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.
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.
Love the chicken breast meal with chips. Tastes amazing with the right amount of Portuguese spiced sauce. Service was great with great attention to its customers. Never disappointed great price & would recommend it.
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 fo

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.
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 flat
The best Portuguese restaurant . The chicken is amazing , very close to what we eat in Portugal . I always order from there & I never regret . The food is always good & fresh . Obrigada pelo pao , faz me lembrar muito de casa :)

We ordered from Uber-eats, & the food was obviously old & had been warmed up. The chicken was almost burnt, & the chips were too salty. Disappointing experience.
I came here after watching a video suggesting to visit this restaurant. As I entered, we got seated right away. The place had a good amount of locals dining in. The service was great at the beginning but after food was served it was pretty slow. It took a while for us to get the bill as there was only 2 waiters.
We got the half leg with fries & the combo w chicken & pork. You get a salad & the dressing was amazing! I got the soup, it was good & different. Also ordered, the sangria (tasted like juice), flan (definitely not my favorite - it was just too bitter).
The chicken leg is hands down the best I’ve had - always so tender & tasty! If you haven’t tried Portuguese chicken, this is definitely the place to go. You also definitely need to get a Nata dessert to top it all off - they’re not too heavy & just the right amount of custardy yumminess! :)
