Romados emerges in these reviews as a Montreal staple famous for juicy, smoky Portuguese rotisserie chicken, generous portions, and a pastry and dessert counter that many say rivals the best in town. Visitors praise a welcoming, efficient staff, a clean space, and a pronounced aroma that signals the grill, with favorites spanning chicken sandwiches, bifana, chouriço, poutine and a variety of sides. Pastel de nata and other pastries are repeatedly highlighted as standout treats, and the poutine with chicken or sausage is often noted as especially satisfying. While the experience is described as fast, friendly and affordable, several reviews mention price increases and occasional inconsistencies, with some batches of chicken drying out or sauces being too thin or mild and portions evolving over time. Some commentary notes a shift after ownership changes but others feel the kitchen has regained its former energy and flavor, and the overall tone remains loyal and appreciative. All in all, Romados is seen as a dependable go to for bold flavors, hearty portions, and a range of Portuguese bites that keep customers coming back for the nostalgic, comforting mix of grill, spice, and sweet pastries.
Came here for takeout. Got the roasted chicken & sausage poutine as well as the Natas (portuguese tarts).
The poutine was delicious - it was packed with juicy roasted chicken & sausage. I typically have a big appetite & eat large portions, but this is next level huge - I had to keep saving leftovers for 3 days to actually finish eating this dish. (You need not worry of going hungry if you order this, I guarantee).
Natas were nice & flaky with a smooth baked custard; it had a good char to the surface which added to the taste. Its worth coming here for the Natas alone, recommended!

Excellent place for poutine! Ordered the Poutine Romados. Great fries, delicious gravy, cheese curds & the added roasted chicken was SO tasty! The Pastel de nata were also excellent.
Friendly service from the owner George. Highly recommend! 😀
Love this place I eat there all the time! the portions are big & the chicken poutine is to die for. Also the staff are always welcoming. I highly recommend
Romados seems to be the underdog of the Portuguese restaurant scene, but what they lack in bark, they make up for in bite.
No flashy signs, no Instagram traps, no gimmicky slogans - just pure, fire-grilled greatness served up with a side of humility & a punch of peri peri heat.
I tried the chicken sandwich. Moist, spicy, & stacked like it's trying to prove a point. The bifana sandwich? Equally loaded, tender, & unapologetically saucy.
& the two meats choriço & chicken poutine? I wasn't ready. Real cheese curds, actual grilled choriço, & juicy chicken - this is the kind of dish that quietly ruins all future poutines for you.
The only thing missing is the soul. The space is actually more spacious & comfortable than most competitors, but it feels oddly quiet - like someone turned down the volume on what should be a Portuguese fiesta. No music, no energy, no vibe to match the fire coming off that grill.
Four stars because while the food is loud & proud, the atmosphere is stuck in neutral. Still, if you're in it for flavor over flair, Romados delivers a knockout every time.

My experience at Romados was truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it for its flavorful chicken & excellent service. After a two-hour bike ride, I was starving, so I decided to stop by & ordered the large double meat poutine with chicken & sausage. I can confidently say it was well worth it. The portions are generous, especially considering the price.
Look I love this place & the two meat poutine so I'll give 5 stars but I ordered this today & got little amount of Chirozo please don't start cutting corners I order from this place once or twice a week
Great poutine. The small without meat was more than enough for 2 looking for a snack. More would have been too heavy. We liked the helpful, friendly staff & the Portuguese pops they had in the fridge.

I go to romados for poutine & chicken sandwiches & they do not disappoint. Can't say enough good things about this joint. Insanely good food for a good price... What's not to love
The portions? Ungodly. Genuinely multiple meals worth of food. The poutine? Incredible! I got the Romados Poutine & it was the best I've had in Montreal (great quantity of everything & an amazing piri piri sauce drizzled on top). The people? So kind! They clearly love what they do & want to share good food with people. I've been recommending it to everyone I meet since I went, so do yourself a favour & just go!
