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.

This place is our favourite spot. We go there few times a year. So far, any food that I have had there has been superb. Their chicken is addictive.

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.

I went to Jano for a birthday party. The restaurant isn't very big, but it is still comfortable.

The service was good & attentive, they were fast & nice.

The food was good, but not spectacular, for me who comes from Spain & is used to similar food. It was too grilled for my taste, but well... I guess it depends on each person.

As we were in a birthday, one of the group told a waiter they could invite us for a piece of cake, more like joking, but they actually gave the birthday girl a portion! So that was a nice detail from their part. =)
