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! 😀
First day time since they have opened again. We went early so there was no waiting time. The service was very efficient & fast. The people at the counter were courteous.
The food itself, we had the family chicken with fries & salad. The food was delicious. I wish there was more sauce on the chicken. The sauce that come with the salad is sweet which give me a perfect fusion along with the chicken. Fries were good also. We ended taking their natas, surprisingly, each one was huge & delicious. I recommend.

Look at that pile of food! That's the 1/4 chicken with chorizo. $16! The chicken was tender & delicious. Fresh cut fries. Fast & friendly service, to boot! I highly recommend this restaurant.
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
If you love natas or you want to discover Portuguese pastry this is the place to go. Don't expect a fancy place but they have the BEST natas in Canada. The coffee is great too. They also have the famous Portuguese chicken which is also sooo delicious. I totally recommend this place.
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.

First time visiting this restaurant. Good traditional Portuguese food. Limited eat-in seating, but it was not that busy, so seating was not an issue. I was, however, very disappointed by the server who prepared my dish. I ordered a chicken dish & I asked for more potatoes than rice. Her response was to give me the same amount of potatoes & half the rice as the person whom I was with. Yes, that "technically" satisfies the request, but definitely not what a reasonable person would do. I felt that it was insulting & a slap in the face. I'm not sure that I will actively return to this restaurant nor recommend it to others - albeit time will tell.

I recently visited this restaurant & tried their Portuguese roast chicken, which was amazing! The roast chicken had a crispy skin, tender & juicy meat, & every bite was full of rich spices & unique roasted flavor. The marinating & roasting of the chicken were just right. The restaurant environment is also very comfortable, & the waiter was friendly & enthusiastic, recommending several Portuguese sauces & side dishes that were perfect with the roast chicken. After the meal, we also enjoyed their special dessert, which was a perfect end to the whole dining experience. Overall, this dining experience was very satisfying & highly recommended to friends who like Portuguese food. Will definitely come back!
The change of administration is apparent! The service & food was amazing. I ordered 6 whole chickens & a bunch of other stuff for Christmas. People ate way more than they planned to it was so good. All around success! The staff was super friendly & efficient. I'm glad I took a chance as I hadn't gone back there since the old owners almost ran it to the ground. The new owners are obviously sharp & intent on bringing Ramados back to #1 Will definitely return & recommend.
