Consistently one of the most reliable places to sit down for a reasonably priced Portuguese meal. Serving up one of the better rib steaks served in Montreal as well.
Try the Portuguese fries. A good change from regular french fries.

We didn't want to brave line up for Schwartz's & we were so glad that we stopped in. The food was excellent & the portions were quite generous. If you are in the area it might be a key move to skip the line at Schwartz's & get quick friendly service here at Jano. Our meal was less than $20 per person for chicken, salad & a generous serving of fries.

Literally the best Portuguese chicken I have ever had. Nelson was the most informative & friendly waiter. Very personable & honest & funny. The sauce for the chicken was delicious, the chicken was really tender & the chip potatoes they give you are great too. A must try. Thank you for a wonderful expensive

Very nice decor & ambiance, & the food was really good. Rich flavours & good meats, the chicken was delicious
I loved how the two young servers who greeted us at the door were very smiley & friendly, although the one who took our order could've been a bit more patient
Overall very pleasant experience I definitely recommend 👌

We love Portuguese food & we have visited many restaurants but for chicken, hands down the best place in Montreal for Portuguese chicken. Their friend chips are outstanding & not sure where they get their Pasteis de Nata from but they are outstanding of this world. Our good friends introduced us to this family restaurant so now we will go back with our family 💖

Really loved this restaurant. Service was quick & great. Price is good & offers big portions. Fries were delicious & chicken was juicy. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the grilled calmari. Other than that everything was great. Will definitely come again!

I have to say the food & service were both excellent. The dishes were flavorful & well-prepared, & the staff was attentive & friendly, making for a very enjoyable dining experience. Appetizers are nice size & main dishes are fairly priced. However, one drawback is that the tables are quite close to each other, which can make the space feel a bit cramped. While this didn't overshadow the quality of the food or service, it did make the atmosphere a little less comfortable than I would have liked.

Leonid
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.

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.

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
Edouard
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
