Romados emerges in these reviews as a Montreal staple famous for juicy, smoky Portuguese rotisserie chicken, generous portions, and a pastry and dessert counter that many say rivals the best in town. Visitors praise a welcoming, efficient staff, a clean space, and a pronounced aroma that signals the grill, with favorites spanning chicken sandwiches, bifana, chouriço, poutine and a variety of sides. Pastel de nata and other pastries are repeatedly highlighted as standout treats, and the poutine with chicken or sausage is often noted as especially satisfying. While the experience is described as fast, friendly and affordable, several reviews mention price increases and occasional inconsistencies, with some batches of chicken drying out or sauces being too thin or mild and portions evolving over time. Some commentary notes a shift after ownership changes but others feel the kitchen has regained its former energy and flavor, and the overall tone remains loyal and appreciative. All in all, Romados is seen as a dependable go to for bold flavors, hearty portions, and a range of Portuguese bites that keep customers coming back for the nostalgic, comforting mix of grill, spice, and sweet pastries.
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!
Le poulet sur le grill ne goûte plus aussi bon qu'avant !?!? Bcp trop de frite dans l'assiette. Ustensiles en bois qui brisent tout le temps !!! Le personnel est toujours super gentil ! Bref, le goût n'y est plus... déçu un peu !
First time visiting this restaurant. Good traditional Portuguese food. Limited eat-in seating, but it was not that busy, so seating was not an issue. I was, however, very disappointed by the server who prepared my dish. I ordered a chicken dish & I asked for more potatoes than rice. Her response was to give me the same amount of potatoes & half the rice as the person whom I was with. Yes, that "technically" satisfies the request, but definitely not what a reasonable person would do. I felt that it was insulting & a slap in the face. I'm not sure that I will actively return to this restaurant nor recommend it to others - albeit time will tell.
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.
