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.

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.
