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.
Arguably worth coming to Montreal just to come here. Incredible food. Servers proud of the food they make. Been to 3 star Michelin restaurants much less gratifying than here. Don't give it a second thought.
I am lost for words & so hesitant to write this because I want this place to stay a secret - MAGNIFICENT. From the warmest welcome of the most lovely staff to the bread & the sangria & the lamb & the rabbit, & such good value - absolutely incredible. Thank you. Obrigado. Thank you a hundred times. Do not change a thing. We will be back for dessert ASAP ❤️
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.
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
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.
We popped into Restaurant Jano after we spied the board out front advertising chicken quarters. We were happy to see many other delicious entrees on the menu. I ordered what turned out to be perhaps the most delicious lamb chops I've had in my life (one of my favorites whenever I have the choice). The host was welcoming & made us feel relaxed right away. The bill was surprisingly small for such good food. I could not feel any better about this place. 6 out of 5 stars.
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
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.
The best Portuguese restaurant . The chicken is amazing , very close to what we eat in Portugal . I always order from there & I never regret . The food is always good & fresh . Obrigada pelo pao , faz me lembrar muito de casa :)
