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!
Portogallo is widely celebrated for its charcoal grilled chicken, staying juicy and full of smoky flavor, with the Supremo sandwich frequently singled out as a standout; portions are generous and prices are described as fair, making it a go to for those seeking authentic Portuguese style chicken and comfort sides like fries and rice. The staff are consistently warm and welcoming, contributing to a cozy, no fuss atmosphere that many say makes it a must try in Montreal. While the food earns near universal praise, some reviews note changes under new ownership, a shift away from traditional Portuguese dishes, and price increases that come with slightly smaller portions, along with occasional service hiccups such as delays or misorders. Despite these caveats, the restaurant remains a beloved, reliable spot for flavorful, charcoal grilled chicken, robust sauces, and hearty accompaniments, with a loyal following and strong recommendations to visit for a satisfying, casual meal.
I went to Portugalia for the first time & I had the Tony Supremo sandwich. This sandwich is top-notch, hands down the best sandwich I've ever had. The bread is so soft & fresh, the chicken is perfectly marinated & melts in your mouth. The staff is so friendly too. They make you feel like family. I am definitely going back.
I've been coming to Portugalia in Montreal for years, & the food is always incredible! Paolo went above & beyond, providing exceptional, attentive, & friendly service that made our visit truly memorable. If you want the best authentic Portuguese chicken cooked on charcoal, this is the place. I can't recommend it enough!
Went to eat in person here for the first time after always having it for takeout. Service was amazing & the staff were very friendly. Food was great as always & the restaurant was a cozy vibe on a cold winter day.
I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is great, honestly the best chicken I've had in Montréal! The customer service is even greater! Such friendly staff!

Trust me, you MUST try this place! The sandwich was amazing & the portions are so huge i couldn't finish my panini!! Super tasty & fresh, great charcoal flavour too, not too spicy but has the perfect kick!
The owner & the staff were very friendly, & they made us feel really welcome.
Great food & amazing vibes. Definitely coming back with my friends & family!
This is called Portugalia Poutine Supremo. I asked them to make it especially for me. Instead of fries I asked for portugués roast ball potatoes, curds, sauce, grilled chicken & piri piri sauce supremo!! Excellent!!
Great juicy chicken with fresh cut Fries matched with excellent & efficient customer service
👍👍
Again, Portugalia you've done it, I came back for poulet entier & it was on point, keep up the good work 👍👍
I usually order a whole chicken to go & it was always delicious & not dry as it could become when cooking on a charcoal fire grill. I sat for the first in their restaurant & ordered ribs to try. It was just ok. The sides of potatoes (whole, dry on the outside & too oily) & rice were disappointing. I would suggest to stick to their chicken & fries which are fresh & tasty.
Absolutely delicious food & extremely friendly & hospitable staff. A very wholesome experience.
If you like it really spicy, ask for the dynamite ;)
Well worth the trip from Germany.
Quick service, friendly workers, mind blowing chicken. These guys have got it down to a science. Get the Tony Supremo it's everything you want in a sandwich. The spiced fries are also great!
First time there. What was I missing all the time moving back to Montreal? This is the best Portuguese restaurant in Canada so far for me. I loved it. It's as good as anything that I ate in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro.
The owner was so friendly. We tried the large family $59 feast for 3-4 people, a whole chicken, french fries, salad, ribs, rice.
It was amazing. My new favorite restaurant in Montreal. I will definitely be going back many times.
I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of our meal. We ordered Tony Supremo, Montreal Steak & Half chicken with fries & salad.
Everything we ate was not only delicious & flavourful, but portion was HUGE! It's super rare to find places that sells quality meals but doesn't lack in quantity. This place is an absolute gem!
Currently they have limited seats, but I think they are in the process of setting up dine in tables.
Such a fantastic corner shop that makes the neighborhood feel more human & alive! We had the Tony Supremo made by Tony himself. One sandwich is good enough for two to share. People at the other table outside gave us their extra insanely tasty fries. Tony also gave us spicy mayo & water bottles on the house. Would definitely come back!
Amazing chicken & fries. wish the fries stayed crispier in transport but such is life. the tony romano sandwich was lights out delicious. chicken was crispy, spicy, juicy.
