Romados is widely praised for its juicy, flavorful Portuguese chicken, with crispy fries and generous portions at affordable prices, and for a range of items like chicken sandwiches, bifanas, and poutine that push the flavors further with spicy peri peri sauces. Desserts such as natas and pastéis de nata are frequently highlighted as excellent. Service is described as fast and friendly, though a few reviews note ups and downs in quality or price increases amid changes in ownership and location. Overall, Romados emerges as a beloved, if imperfect, Montreal staple for casual take-out and hearty, flavorful meals.
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!
We ordered a large catering order from George during the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. George hand delivered the meal to our Airbnb outside the city. Not only was the food still hot, but it was also delicious. Many in our group said it was the best chicken, potatoes, & poutine we had all weekend. Thank you George for the wonderful meal. We will be back next time we visit Montreal.
This place is awesome! Portions are great & make the prices worthwhile - & this is something I am usually very critical of. Best piri piri sauce I've tasted in Montreal so far. They have some nice baked goods also. Service is quick but good quality. Only thing about this place is that there is not adequate seating.
This was one of the most popular places where we came with friends & family to eat fried chicken on charcoal. Unfortunately, the price increases twice every year, & recently a whole chicken has increased from $18 to $20.99. Or rather, everything has increased in price by 12%. The affordability was the number one factor besides the quality which is taken away.
Super bon rapport qualité /prix ! Je jase toujours avec les grilladier.ère.s qui sont très sympas & les caisses sont rapides. Je prends toujours pour emporter. Bon choix de pâtisseries portugaises!
Les portions de poulet que les Portugais donnaient étaient plus généreuses que celles de ces nouveaux responsables, même pour votre portion de poulet, ils vous donnaient du pain, maintenant ils ne le font plus.
Good bang for your buck. They give a lot of fries, a reasonable amount of meat, & a salad for around 17$ It tastes light but the more you eat, the saltier it gets. Not a lot of people sitting in the restaurant but theres a constant roll of in & outs. Good place to visit.
Been missing Romados when COVID hit us all. Went today after more than 3 years. No line-up?! Well, i can say why... there's nothing good anymore of the "old" Romados. Here we get some generic grilled chicken that doesn't have the distinctive charcoal & piri piri taste. Gone. The rice was hard & tasteless as the chicken. The poutine (regular) was tasty (brown gravy!) but little to no cheese curds. Only redeeming thing is fries are still good & service is good also. I gotta say this but even St-Hu... piri-piri chicken taste way better than the now Romados. Will not be going back anymore. RIP Romados. Sad but true.
Yeah.. this place never disappoints, I always get the whole chicken 🐔 spicy with roasted potatoes 🥔. I absolutely love ordering their delicious chicken.. 👍
