My first experience of Romados was when I first came to Montreal to visit about 8 years ago. Romados was delicious then & delicious still on my recent visit.

Romados stands out from the many Portugese chicken places in the area. Their chicken plates are delicious & the hot sauce compliments it perfectly. The roasted potatoes & salad were such wonderful pairings. A chicken 1/4 plate is definitely enough for one person. We opted for the dark meat. The chicken is so flavor & the skin is soo good.

Their Romados poutine is phenomenal. You HAVE to try it. Small is good to share for 2. It's just so balanced. Good fries, good chicken, good cheese & gravy. We got white meat for the poutine.

The staff here are just wonderful. Such down to earth friendly people. Their reviews speak for themselves.

Go & try it, you won't regret the detour.

I have rated this out of 5 for a fast food restaurant. The staff good (some were great, some were a bit disappointing). The portuguese chicken never fails to hit the spot. The fries & even the salads were much better than is typical for this sort of restaurant.

On est allé entre amis (4 personnes), on a tous pris quelques choses de différent pour goûter à tout ou presque (poitrine, cuisse, sandwich au poulet, salade, frites, riz) & nous avons été déçu pour du poulet en général. On s'attendait à beaucoup mieux venant d'une rôtisserie portugaise. Les poitrines étaient sèches, les morceaux de cuisses avaient énormément de gras ou de peaux molles & la sauce piri piri douce était très liquide & n'avait presque pas de goût... C'était décevant.

Le riz était correct & les frites & la salade étaient très bonnes par contre. Le gros plus est la pâtisserie à même le resto qui offrent d'excellents desserts.

Bref, nous n'y retournerons surement pas pour le poulet.

Edit nov 2025: I just placed an order for the bifana plate. I said I wanted the round roasted potatoes like in the picture, not fry strips. If they cared they would have given more rice instead of more fries or replaced the fries with salad if they didn't have the potatoes. I hate when I'm not listened to especially when it costs me money & my health. The bifana is rgood & the portion was big though so it's enough for 2 meals at least. It's not a big deal but still worth mentioning

Such a good chicken & fries source. I don't come here anymore because I'm mostly vegan but must give a proper review to send my appreciation for past good memories

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.

I have not been here in years & heard the crew left & went to ma poule mouillée years ago & that's exactly it. Ramados use to be decadent in flavors & the fries were spectacular. I went today for a chicken sandwich with fries & I was actually disappointed. The salad is exactly like MA poule with the small portions & hardly any sauce. I don't eat at restaurants much as I love to cook . For the 1 time I wanted to treat myself . It was good but nothing to rave about anymore . Service was nice I have to say .

Romados c'est bon! Bonne portion, les patates rondes sont incroyables, le riz juste parfait & la salade très bonne avec sa vinaigrette. Les tartelettes portugaises parfaites! Pas sec mais bien moelleux & croustillant à souhait. À peu près tout est à bon prix. *Ça serait cool d'avoir des jus pour les enfants.

Casual restaurant specializing in Portuguese-style rotisserie chicken, fries & pasteis de nata. I tagged along with a meat eater; there weren't many vegan options for me other than fries & a side salad.
