Entrées généreuses, calamars grillés avec une sauce délicieuse. Les sardines sont excellentes, 4 par portion. Le Pastel de Nata chaud servi avec cannelle, comme au portugal. Prix & service raisonnables.
Je viens d'y retourner 4 ans plus tard. Les portions sont généreuses, même trop un plat pour deux c'est suffisant. Les plats viennent avec une salade individuelle. C'est un endroit simple & tranquille. Dommage que les tentacules ne soient pas incluses dans le calmar grillé, c'est toujours un plus. Le poulet grillé est vraiment très bon. Je ne comprends pas ceux qui ont fait des commentaires très négatifs, la place est très bien & les plats somples & goûteux. Je laisse vos yeux apprécier !
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

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.

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.
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.
Warmly decorated portuguese restaurant. It didn't look very busy on Friday night, service was quick. We got garlic shrimp appetizer & it was good, the grilled calamari didn't taste much, the rib steak although big was however bland & tasted like not marinated at all. Maybe that's how portuguese steak is supposed to be but we didn't like it at all, even with the spicy sauce. Overall it seems a bit overpriced.

Excellent food in an unassuming location that, like a Tardis, is bigger on the inside than it appears. Authentic Portuguese beers complement the roasted meats. Large, fluffy buns arrive at your table as soon as you are seated. Atmosphere is simple & friendly. Prices are surprisingly good compared to other neighboring restaurants. Excellent choice if you enjoy traditional Portuguese food. Only disappointment was the fries: not bad, but traditional Portuguese roasted potatoes would have been nicer than fries you'd find pretty much anywhere else. Hot sauce had a very nice kick & helped improve the fries somewhat.
La meilleure rôtisserie portugaise à mon avis. Celle-ci était ma 2e visite. Le poulet toujours juteux & savoureux, bien cuit sans être brûlé, les côtelettes d'agneau à point & très bonnes au goût (& je ne suis pas du tout amateure d'agneau!). J'aime le fait que l'on peut remplacer les frites par des pommes de terres bouillies. Les olives, le pain, la sauce piquante, les tartellettes aux oeufs, tout est bon.
