Viana Grillades Portugaises Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
PortugueseGrillSaladsBoutique-Counter
Bem-vindos a Viana! Antonio & Celeste Da Costa from a small village in Northern Portugal, were inspired by the idea of crossing the ocean to create a better life for themselves and their children. They immigrated to Canada in 1978 and settled in Lasalle borough in the early 1980s. In 1984 their son, Carlos Costa began working at one of Montreal's finest landmarks, Jano Grillades. He worked there for close to 30 years and acquired deeply rooted knowledge of Portuguese cuisine. Carlos and his son Fabio shared a passion for hard work and the food service industry. Along with the help and support of his wife Ines and daughter Vanessa, they decided as a family that they would embark on a passion project which would allow them to fulfill a lifelong dream. As proud Luso-Canadians, Fabio and Vanessa were inspired by their father's hometown Viana do Castelo, where they vacationed every summer. Viana is an homage to their heritage, and a place where they are able to share and multiply the love they have for their culture. Obrigado!

Review Summary

Viana Grillades Portugaises receives widespread praise for juicy, well seasoned chicken, generous portions, and friendly, attentive service, with many reviewers calling it a standout for authentic Portuguese flavors and the house sauces, and noting a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with charming decor; some guests single out the noise from ventilation and loud music as a downside, making it less ideal for family meals, while a few takeout experiences point to occasional inconsistencies in items or changes to loyalty programs after ownership changes. Overall the reviews convey a small, unpretentious spot that delivers satisfying, solid Portuguese fare at good value, with dishes ranging from the beloved chicken and chorizo to cod, poutine, and pastéis de nata, and multiple mentions of wanting to return for both dine-in and takeout.

New neighborhood haunt for us. The chicken was juicy, tender & perfectly seasoned. The sides were flavorful & genuinely enjoyable. Portuguese poutine with Portuguese cheese was fantastic with homemade gravy & a very generous portion. House beer was delicious & paired perfectly. Beautiful atmosphere, clean bathrooms, friendly staff, ample parking. Yes they deliver, but support a local business & go there in person. Very satisfied & proud this is a local business in my neighborhood.

My fiancé & I recently ordered from this restaurant & were completely blown away by the experience. The Portuguese chicken was absolutely amazing, easily the best I've ever had! We also tried the poutine & salad, & everything was simply perfect. We can't wait to return soon!

Would not recommend & would never order again, also the kids barely had any of the food. I ordered whole chicken, fries, rice , salad & Creamy Shrimp Fritters. The fries were awful, old & soggy. The chicken is ok but nothing special, you should know that their mild sauce is still very spicy, The worst of all was Creamy Shrimp Fritters , mushy & tasteless , the rice was ok & the salad was good,

Comfort food at its best! Great spot for some authentic charcoal grilled chicken. Well seasoned, tender, & juicy chicken pairs well with their homemade spicy sauce. Fries & Natas are also excellent. Good packaging for takeout as well!

The food was really disappointing. Very salty & the piri piri sauce was awful - was almost tomatoey. I've had a lot of Portuguese chicken in my life & this is definitely on the lower end of the scale. People have raved about this to me & I was hoping for a LaSalle version of Romados or Ma Poule Mouiller...this is definitely not that. Maybe an off night for them but I won't be returning.

Althought I didn't find it as spicy as I wanted to be, the chicken is really tender & you can really taste the freshness. (idk if that makes sense but it's a way of saying it's delicious & i will come back again) Thankfully, the spicy sauce still adds the flavour i like in a chicken. Great for students from the college near by the restaurant to take a quick lunch during their break time. Also I highly HIGHLY recommend their dessert Pastel del Nata. Truly delightful ✨ edit: after checking some reviews, I noticed that I tried this restaurant in the period of the newest adminsitration, so perhaps the experience may vary for new & old customers.

Absolutely a must go to restaurant I saw this place by chance when I went to the restaurant next door & decided to give it a try & I'm so glad I did. I met Andy who was super nice & I was in a hurry so I asked for the quickest thing & he recommended the chicken sandwich & fries. They were amazing & there sauce I could drink it like a shooter. I will definitely be returning to try more food & I recommend this place to everyone

The food isnt the same as it use to. My family & i were loyal clients & would always order & the food was fantastic. Ever since that sad tragedy, the food is not what it was. I used to always order a chorizo poutine & when i asked for it again recently when it reopened i was extremely disappointed. The fries were not as tasteful, & the gravy… well it wasnt even gravy it was straight up liquid sauce. The portions were not the same & the chicken salad did not live up to its previous expectations.
