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.

The chicken is so juicy 😋, the chorizo & bifana are perfect 👌, & the portions are great 😃! Definitely, this is one of my favourite portugaise chicken places! The only thing I would like to get is the spicy sauce, a little bit more spicy 😉

Ordered a small Romados poutine which was packed with chicken, tasted pretty great! Wasn't very spicy at all though 🤔

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.

Delicious! I ordered spicy chicken sandwich & fries for myself & everything was amazing! The spicy chicken sandwich was pretty normal (though they do put the spicy sauce on the bread so be aware of that) but the fries was where it truly shined! The fries had a waxy & salty flavor with a sweet undertone & it was the best that I ever had. I finished all the fries in one sitting! Will come back!

Great spot for grilled Portuguese chicken! The chicken was juicy & flavorful, & the chicken sandwich was equally delicious. Their spicy sauce added a perfect kick, though the rice could use more seasoning. Overall, a solid place for a tasty, casual meal!

Visited here after several years & found the chicken to be completely tasteless. Used to be way better in the past. Please season the chicken before grilling. Even though I got the spicy one that just meant putting some sauce on top of a bland grilled chicken unfortunately & sauce didn't taste like much.

Can always count on Romado's for a good hearty meal. Make sure to ask for extra spicy sauce if you like spicy.
