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.
My god was this restaurant a real treat .. heard about it & decided to give it a try, now I'm hooked.. definitely going back in the very near future.. chicken & ribs were out of this world & my son said that the Tony supremo sandwich was the best he ever had ..
Food great!! The chicken is great!! The pork cutlet is juicy!! The ribs are good! Worth it! The rice taste great! The potato though, those are amazing 👏 🤩!
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.
Update to my review, new owners now & the place is a lot nicer! Cool vibe with the mural. However, it has lost a lot of its spirit & doesn't really have anything traditionally Portuguese on the menu, sadly walked out when I saw the new menu. A bit disappointing as it was one of my fave Portuguese spots. I'm leaving my review as is because I didn't try the new menu so I want to be fair.

Great food but they increased prices twice this year & I feel like the portions are slightly smaller as well. I still love to eat here, but it's just harder to justify now
The food is amazing & the staff is incredibly warm & welcoming. I was stuck outside my apartment because my door froze, & I came into Portugalia to wait. They welcomed me right away & even offered me a poutine (genuinely one of the best I've had in Montreal).
Thank you again for the kindness, generosity, & amazing food. I won't forget this experience!

Awesome, Tony & hi staff , are incredible. The food is really authentic & full of flavour. Thanks today Tony for an unforgettable meal for me & my wife . Will be back soon
One of the best portuguese grills in Montreal. I have been numerous times in the past 20 years, & ordered delivery also numerous times in the past 5 years. I usually go for the grilled chicken (spicy) & natas. Always the same excellent flavor.
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!
Meilleur poulet portugais de Mtl
Bien située a 3 min de marche d'un parc, Salle de commande petit mais dispose d'une salle à manger
Sandwich A1 viande A1 recommandé.
Only gave us 2 pork cutlets instead of 3 after making us buy 3 instead of the 1 we asked for. Watched the cook make 3 while we waited.. & even though we called ahead & showed up when we were told, they only started making our food when we came to pick up.
They also did not give us our sauces that we paid for. Overall ok food but terrible experience.
