Romados in Vimont, Laval specializes in Portuguese piri-piri rotisserie chicken. Known for its juicy chicken, crispy fries, and flavorful sandwiches, the restaurant offers a simple and authentic dining experience, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Romados receives praise for juicy, flavorful Portuguese grilled chicken and shares the familiar taste that echoes the Montreal location, with generous portions and welcoming staff. Diners note long lines are worth the wait and highlight pastries like pastéis de nata, along with solid value and tasty sides. At the Laval location, feedback is mixed: the chicken is generally good but some plates are drier and the fries less crispy, with calls for adjustments to match the downtown standard and overall consistency. A few reviews emphasize attentive service and a positive family vibe, while others urge improvements in prep and presentation to avoid disappointing leftovers or cold elements. Across visits the overall sentiment remains favorable, with many saying it is delicious and the brand's friendly approach keeps people coming back.
Saw the high rating & decided to try it out. The grill chicken was dry & a little bland. So essentially the combo I bought a salad & lots of fries. Honestly, I expect much better chicken from a grill chicken place. We also ordered 6 of their sweet tarts & was disappointed too, it has a slight stale oil taste in them...
Sorry, gotta balance out the rating... T
The'AL QUDS Grill' I tried in West Island a couple years ago was better than this.

Awesome experience. The half chicken plate (double leg) with fries & home style potatoes with spicy sauce is really really fantastic. Can't wait to try the sandwich next time.
The chicken is good, but the French fries are really bad. I wouldn't eat them even if they were free. We got two boxes, & they sat on the counter for two days before ending up in the trash.
Could not wait for them to open finally in Laval & I'm not disappointed. Food has been good for years. Just a little constructive feedback some piece of chicken sometimes are very dry/not eatable (rare) but it happens. Since they opened I came almost everyday! The quality never change since Montreal & I've been going there since the 2010's when my parents brought me as a kid.
Purchased a family combo, chicken was very very dry, french fries were lacking the spice they use, the rice was also super dry, salad was disappointing

The food is not like Romados on Rachel. It's good but it still tastes like Lajeunesse did.
Since this is supposed to be a second Romados location I will rate this meal compared to the original.
I drive downtown just to eat it in my car because it's amazing. I was there that night they re-opened. I am a longtime regular. There is this amazing taste from the food downtown location.
We also used to be regulars at Lajeunesse , the previous operation. We went there when we were stuck, it was not based on urges.
So please let me explain, the chicken still smells like how Lajeunesse did, it still has that burnt spot since they are not using the same equipment for the chicken as the downtown location, the fries are not as crispy & tasty as the ones downtown. The Natas when we got home were still thawing (from being frozen) & colder than my drink, but they were ok, not as creamy as downtown.
The salad was good but the dressing containers are small. The meal box was full but not overloaded like downtown.
If you take a Harvey's franchise change the sign & call it McDonald's but still make the food Harvey's style. It's still Harvey's with McDonald's packaging.
This review is not meant to be nasty, it's meant for you to make sure you fix things so I don't have to go downtown to eat Romados.
As it is now my urges won't be satisfied with the food at the Laval location & I will still have to drive all the way downtown.
I waited to write this review, I did not want to upset that 5.0 average rating, but after having the leftovers & getting unsatisfied again, I even had to add ketchup to these tasteless fries.
Please use my points to make things like downtown & in 2 months we will try you again, revise the rating & hopefully it will be 5 star.
Absolutely delicious Portuguese grilled chicken. Juicy, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. It tastes just like the Montreal location. It's a family-owned restaurant, & the owners are very kind & welcoming. You can tell they truly care about their customers. The wait can be a bit long, but it's 100% worth it. This was my second time going back, & it just keeps getting better!
( They even gave me free pastéis de nata to thank me for my patience, which was such a thoughtful gesture ❤?).

So happy Romados has opened in Laval. The Portuguese charcoal chicken, fries , salad & of course Pastéis de Nata desserts are the best by far. Congratulations to an amazing team with the most friendly service.
