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.

Hands down the best Portuguese chicken you can find in Montreal. I do not hesitate to always pass by whenever I'm visiting town. Their chicken sandwich is mouth watering.

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.

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 .
