Portogallo Restaurant, formerly known as "Portugalia" has officially re-opened its doors! Under new management, we are excited to bring back the authentic, charcoal-grilled Portuguese chicken that has been catering to Montreal for over 30 years!
Reviews describe Restaurant Portogallo as a place with consistently flavorful charcoal grilled chicken, generous portions, and warm, welcoming staff; the Supremo sandwich and the spicy sauce are frequently highlighted, along with sides like fries and rice; many visitors mention a lively, friendly atmosphere and memories of dining there, with several saying they would definitely return, while a few note price increases and occasional variability in menu items; overall it is seen as one of the top Portuguese chicken spots in Montreal and a go-to option for a satisfying, comforting meal.
I do not recommend this place anymore: This place was initially one of the best portugais grill restaurant in plateau & we were used to go there very frequently. But with the ownership change, it became unfortunately a very bad & very expensive place for what you get. There are many other places in a walking distance that offer you really good portugais grilled meat or chicken.
Very crowded , the cashier was nice but no one else acknowledges you in the place - took over 25 minutes for 1 poutine & then when I got it was skimmed over & cold. Small chopped up pieces of chicken bits , I would not say best in the city.
?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Portuguese Grill We've Had in a Long Time!
?Out-of-towners from Toronto here, & Grillades Portugalia did not disappoint!
?The Mains: The chicken was unbelievably tender & flavorful. The spicy chicken is an absolute must-order if you like a kick.
?The Sides: Do not sleep on the rice & potatoes-they were amazing.
?Family-Friendly: Super accommodating for parents; they had a high chair available for our baby.
?Highly, highly recommend!
je frequente ce restaurant depuis plus de 20 ans soit pour manger sur place ou pour apportez. Leur cuisson du oulet est très très gouteux & a un petit gout de charcoal. Ps pour apportez commandez un a deux heures a l avanc

Definitely reserve if you're going at dinner time. We arrived around 5:45 PM & the place was already full.
Food is worth the trip.
The grilled chicken is juicy, well seasoned, & cooked properly over the grill. Their spicy sauce & spicy mayo are both really good.
We ordered the'tour du chapeau' (beef ribs, veal escalope, chicken escalope), a full chicken, & a classic poutine for a group of 5 adults & 2 kids. Portions were generous & easy to share.
Each plate comes with 2 sides, which is nice. Choices are fries, potatoes, rice, or salad. They were out of potatoes that night, though.
Service felt a bit overwhelmed at first, but the staff was kind, caring, & figured things out quickly. Food also came out fast despite how busy it was.
Le Tony Supremo est vraiment excellent 🔥
Le poulet grillé au charbon donne un goût incroyable & très authentique.
Pain frais, viande juteuse, bonne sauce & cuisson parfaite 👌
On sent la qualité dès la première bouchée.
Franchement un des meilleurs sandwiches grillés que j'ai mangés !
I started with the basic chicken sandwich just to get a sense of what they offer. Now I'm ready to try the Tony Supremo-one of their most recommended sandwiches-& it's easy to see why. Unlike the classic, which feels a bit plain with fewer ingredients & no sauce, the Tony Supremo seems much more flavorful & fully loaded.
I also tried the half chicken plate, which came with delicious potatoes soaked in a flavorful sauce, along with a fresh salad.
Tony the owner is the best ! My husband picked up 2 supreme Tony sandwiches & honestly its heaven. Big, tasty & the prices are really fair . 10 stars !
Never disappoints! I've been coming here for years since being introduced to this place. The chicken is always juicy & perfectly cooked over charcoal. First time dining in & the service was great.
