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.
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!!
Craving a hefty, flavorful meat feast at a great price? Your search ends here! Meet the'Le Meat Monster' (CAD$19.99+) - a towering sandwich loaded with tender chicken, juicy beef, & savory lamb.
The hot sauce tried to steal the spotlight, but it cloaked the true flavor of the charcoal-grilled meats; I recommend skipping it.
The beef was a tad overcooked & a bit dry, but the chicken? Absolutely tender & delicious. Next time, I'm going all-in with an all-chicken version for sure!
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 👍👍

Tried this place for the first time today & boy was I ever impressed. The sauces & the portions were phenomenal & Paulo welcomed us in & really made us feel at home. This is going to be a spot I revisit every time I'm in the area, no doubt about that.
A hole-in-the-wall kitchen that turns out an amazing Portuguese style grilled chicken. Much better than what we've found on St Laurent. Be prepared to wait a few minutes. There's a choice of various chicken dinners on the menu or, if you just want a half chicken all by itself, that's also available.
I love this Portuguese restaurant that specializes in chicken. Great tasting chicken, fresh, well prepared & their'Supremo'
spicy sauce that comes with it, is delicious! Wonderful staff, great service & fast. I always take a whole chicken & ask for'spicy' chicken to go. Just the best! I Highly recommend.
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.
