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.

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.

I discovered this restaurant by chance.
I went there with my family, the dishes were very delicious & plentiful, the waiters & the waitresses were available & very kind: one of them also told us an information about the city we had asked at the end of the dinner.
There's nothing to say in addition, I suggest you this restaurant, it's really worth it!

Fue nuestra primera visita a Montreal y nos topamos con Jano, el servicio super amigable, especialmente por parte del dueno, Nelson, quien nos conto sus historias y nos hizo pasar un rato agradable. Muy buen sabor de la comida con porciones generosas. El postre de Natas está delicioso!

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 👌

I found the squid to be rather bland, rubbery & did not taste grilled unfortunately. Not words usually associated with Portuguese cuisine.

Même si j'habite à environ 45 minutes du restaurant, j'y vais au moins une fois par mois, j'ai souvent un'Craving' pour leur poulet 😀
