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.

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.

Ca fait longtemps que je n'y étais pas allé mais encore une fois . Pour des funerailles une grosse commande 30aine de poulet avec sauce délicieux!! Bon à s'en lécher les doigts.
Tous se sont regaler pas juste les vendus que je connais mais tous commençant par hop 1 morceau pour finir par avoir pris pas loin d'un demi poulet chaque.
Evidement il y avaient des restants mais même froid le lendemain ou rechauffer menoum!!
Merci de perpétuer la fierté du bon travail.
Avis aux novices vous ne saurez pas déçu l'essayer c'est pas mal l'adopter apres ca les autres portugais sont mieux de faire leurs devoir car la barre est haute.
Merci beaucoup

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.

Did the person who makes the original sauce pass away? It can't possibly be this, it tastes terrible!
The chicken smells bad & tastes like a dirty grill

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 like it, but my girlfriend much prefers any of the other chicken places in the area. Weirdly, the chicken has very strong soy sauce undertones.

One of the best chicken sandwich in town. Take the hot sauce option.
Really cheap
