Review Summary

Sardine Rose is praised for a warm, inviting ambiance and a concise, well executed Portuguese menu that shines with grilled dishes and house hot sauces. Dishes like sardines with potatoes, octopus, and Piri Piri chicken are highlighted for balance, flavor, and generous portions, with good value noted across visits. The space is described as intimate and sometimes crowded, and service can start slowly, but staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, contributing to a generally positive experience. Some critiques include occasional dryness of the chicken, sauce not always being offered, and a missed dessert, but these do not overshadow the overall impression that Sardine Rose delivers honest, satisfying food worth returning for.

Sardine Rose est un joli petit restaurant portugais traditionnel de quartier. Le poulet cuit sur le grill au charbon est en vedette : bien assaisonné & servi avec des chips de frites uniques en leur genre. C'est un classique à Montréal !

Bon restaurant avec une belle ambiance & de bons plats savoureux ! Petit bémol pour les cuissons des viandes qui n'étaient pas trop respectées, cependant cela restait très bon !

Vraiment un petit resto avec sa magnifique histoire depuis 3 générations. On se sent chez soi sans prétention avec une cuisine bien authentique portugaise à prix abordable. Toujours le fun y arrêter.

My husband asked for the grilled chicken & I had the calamar; I asked for garlic butter on the side & the waiter was a bit insulted & said "why would you want to change our recipe?". The chicken was ok - nothing more & not really resembling the authentic Portuguese rub that many Portuguese eateries practice. My calmar was ok - but the sauce was extremely bland. Service was ok but nothing out of the ordinary. The chicken, by the way, was not done completely & parts of it were almost pink. From the outside window looking inside, I noticed that the grill was not very clean & neither were the counters. Three hours later, my husband had something similar to gastroenteritis. I regret I have to write this but in my 50 years of eating at Montreal restaurants, this never happened to me or my husband. The decor is pleasant, but I would much rather prefer for the grill itself to be cleaned every day. The accumulated grease on the grill was quite a sight.

J'ai pris une assiette de calmars & riz. J'ai aimé mon plat. J'ai eu une tartelette comme dessert, ce qui était bien aussi.

Le prix du pichet de sangria est beaucoup trop élevé. (28$).

Service impeccable. J'y retournerai
