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.
Demi Chicken was amazing, perfectly cooked & spiced well. The owner & employees were awesome & we had lots of laughs & memories of this little place to take with us on our trip. Would definitely come back!
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
