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 😀

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 💖

Quelle merveilleuse soirée nous avons passé a votre restaurant. Pour célébrer note, troisième année d'opération, notre entreprise vous a confié notre repas des employés a votre restaurant & ce fut génial. Vous avez offert a nos employés & leurs conjointes un accueil royal à la portugaise avec une très belle tablée de plats au goûts de chacun & boissons du pays. Mon partenaire & moi avons eu l'opportunité de parler à tous & à toutes pendant la soirée & tous s'accordent pour souligner l'excellence sur le service & la qualité des repas. Merci à vous tous d'avoir rendu cette soirée agréable. Longue vie à votre entreprise &'' Viva Jano'' ! :) Jacob & José Luis Atelier en Hauteu
