About

Romados serves authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled chicken prepared with a signature spicy piri-piri sauce that defines its menu. The kitchen specializes in traditional rotisserie techniques where chickens are roasted slowly to achieve a crisp, flavorful skin and tender, juicy meat. Diners select from generous portions often accompanied by classic side dishes such as seasoned fries, fresh garden salads, and crusty bread rolls. The atmosphere remains informal and focused on efficient service, catering to those seeking a reliable, high-volume culinary experience. Beyond the flagship poultry, the menu includes various Portuguese culinary staples that emphasize bold spices and simple, high-quality ingredients. This establishment stands as a local institution for enthusiasts of robust, flame-cooked protein prepared according to time-honored methods that prioritize flavor intensity over elaborate presentation.

Ok, so you know, it is 5 stars for the food, the 4 stars have nothing to do with the food.

A staple in Montreal since Fernando Machado opened Romados in 1994. George Karaglanis & Vicki Eliopoulos took over Romados, a Portuguese chicken restaurant in from the Machado family in 2021.
This place has character, history, tradition, pride, & has become a staple in the Montreal foodservice scene akin to Schwartz's on the Main.

They have been pumping out some of the best Portuguese rotisserie chicken in the city, & whenever I am hungry & in the area I end up having an impulsive meal filled with perfectly home made french fries & succulent chicken that rivals any competitor. To not eat here is a restaurant experience sin!

Atmosphere is nothing to speak of & service is pretty good given the (what always seems like) a constant line of people rushing to eat.

Go, eat, enjoy, & tell me I am wrong - I dare you.

Not sure why, but I noticed less customers after Romados reopened after a long closure a few years back. Since they reopened I've found their chicken as good as ever & recently ordered 3 chickens for a potluck dinner on May 19th. Everyone raved about the flavor. I will keep taking advantage of the smaller lineups & keep going back.

Absolutely the best chicken in Montreal. New owners have brought the place back to how it was long ago. Love it.

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.

Poulet pas assez grillé. Oui, c'était cut mais la pau pouvait être mieux grillée. La tartelette aux pommes n'était rien de spéciale.
