Review Summary

Jano delivers comforting Portuguese flavors with generous portions at reasonable prices, creating a welcoming family friendly vibe that keeps diners coming back. The menu shines with well executed items such as grilled chicken, sardines, calamari, pork steak and Pastel de Nata served warm with cinnamon, all backed by a reliable friendly service that makes guests feel at home and even shares little stories from Portugal. The homemade chips are a standout, as are the sauces and carefully prepared meats that can be ordered to suit the appetite. The atmosphere is casual and authentic, with simple decor and a sense of being part of the neighborhood. This combination of hearty food, attentive service, and value makes Jano a dependable choice for meals with family or friends.

Absolutely loved the Pork steak, it reminded me of how my great grandma used to cook pork, the waiter was super friendly, shared stories about Portugal & food. Even suggested the best wine to go with all that delicious food. Highly recommended.

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 👌

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 ✌️

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.

I visited Jano's restaurant yesterday, & I must say, the food was absolutely delicious. Juan de Dios, our accommodating host, did an excellent job of meeting our needs. Moreover, the staff at this establishment is not only friendly but also courteous. I highly recommend trying out this fantastic restaurant.
