Had a family size meal for two, did take out of course too.
The price reflects the service, which is counter (think fast food but better!) & the food exceeds the price & quantity! Tremendous value, they will have return customers!
Romados is one of the best spots in Montreal for Portuguese rotisserie chicken.
The chicken is always juicy, tender, & packed with smoky, garlicky flavor, with crispy skin that's perfectly seasoned. What makes it special is how it captures the essence of Portuguese cuisine-simple, bold, & comforting, with the rich taste of garlic, paprika, herbs, olive oil, & a touch of citrus that lets the quality of the ingredients shine.
The portions are generous, the prices are fair, & the service is quick, even when it's busy. If you're looking for authentic Portuguese cuisine that delivers incredible flavor in every bite, Romados is absolutely worth a visit. Next time I'm here, I have to try their poutine - I've heard great things about it!
Honestly, its ok. The food is fine but the prices are higher than at'ma poule mouillé', which is really close to the restaurant. It is much more worth it to go there because the prices are unmatched & the food quality is superior to here. Another thing I didn't like about this place, is that they charge you for nonsense. At the other restaurant they dont charge you for the sauce but here they do, which is insane because the food itself is also more expensive, so you would think that the sauce is included but no. Also, we bought these cream-filled donughts but they had no cream. They were basically empty. Another thing is that the bathroom here is really dirty too. It looks really old & nasty. In conclusion, just go to'ma poule mouillé'. Its less expensive, cleaner, the food tastes better & the vibe is amazing.
I went to pick up a family combo dinner on Sunday (Feb 22nd 2026). Before visiting, I looked at the menu (pictures posted by other users - 4 months ago). The family combo was priced at $33.99 (ther user's pic). When I got to the ordering counter, I noticed the price for that combo went all the way up to $39.99. In other words, the price went up by $6. That is a close to 20% increase. Now, I understand food cost, labor cost are all on the rise, but a 20% increase??
Service was rapid, courteous & professional. Food was average - nothing stands out particularly. However, when prices rise by this much without any noticeable justification, it's just a money-grab.
Thank you, but no thanks. Definitely my last visit.
Best chiken in Montréal, I been going here for years now, great price fast service. Love it, could used a extra spicy sauce but I do have my own for that.
