Parking was tough. Only on the street, almost every spot was full. Parking is the only negative. They open when they start cooking at 9 am, you can come in and order what's in the hot table, but not officially open until 11 am. We had a whole chicken, fresh fried fish, chicken parmigiana on rice and bubbly. No diet Soda is available. The batter on the fish was very light, like the Portuguese fish, it was done very well, The parm chicken was different than I have had before. It was very saucy, more a Brazilian flavour and less cheese, I give it a 10/10 for flavour and portion size . It was big enough for a main for the 2 of us. There are only 2 small tables in the place, Brazilian music played in the background. It was incredibly clean. The cook was serving us, she was really busy, but took the time to suggest options, tell us when the items on the menu are usually ready. We loved the place, will be returning when in the area. My husband would like to get takeout. The combo of Brazilian with Portuguese flare was excellent. I love independent family owned spots like this. Family recipes that stood the test of time. Give it a try, it's worth the search for parking

(I suspect this is not an option in most occasions!) Stand-outs were the feijoada and the cream-based fish stew. (The tomato-based potato side got a bit lost in the shuffle.) They also had sides of battered and fried balls with various meats, which were as expected. Hope to stop by their actual brick-and-mortar location and try their dishes one by one!

This is a Churrasqueira restaurant in the Rogers and Weston Road area…read more Food - (4/5) - small menu of portuguese dishes for selection including the BBQ chicken - with your choice of traditional grilled or rotisserie. Decided to go with the Rotisserie as I prefer it a bit more moist. It was a pretty good combo... 1/2 chicken (standard size chicken not too big) with a ton of rice and potatoes and pepper sauce on the side. Chicken was done properly with nice level of browning of the skin and subtle flavour. They leave the flavour to you as it is on the side unlike other places where it is basted on. Potatoes were good - not too soft or overcooked and ample size. Rice was average - tons of it but just ok imo. Service (4/5) - friendly server and pretty quick turnaround overall. Atmosphere (4/5) - it is a small place with only a few tables to dine in but clean and orderly. Overall (4/5) - seems like a reliable place for takeout or dine-in. Chicken a bit on the small size... probably shrinkflation taking effect!

Good Portuguese chicken place!…read more They have 2 types of chicken: Rotisserie and Grilled. Grilled is supposed to be drier, but more flavourful, so I got that option! 1/4 Chicken + 2 sides was $9 and I couldn't finish it! Girl who was behind the counter piled it on. I'm not complaining as I had leftovers! She also gave me a "sweet" sauce which was more sour, vinegary and garlicky. It tasted really good! Chicken and potatoes were flavourful. Rice was a bit dry, but ok. My BIL got a container of Bacalhau ($8) and that tasted good, freshly made. Initially, the girl put it on a plate and it was A LOT of food. So he opted instead for a smaller container. There is seating, street parking only, so I'm guessing it's more of a takeout place. It was clean though, so if you're hungry, you can dine-in. My only complaint was that they should work on their menu. There's only a posted menu for their sides. Otherwise, it's a takeout menu with M-F specials, so prices weren't very clear. Great bang for your buck though as lunch for 2 ppl was under $20, taxes in!

How disappointing…read more Came here and had high hopes as the menu looked promising. The service at first was great. The servers were friendly and chatty. We came on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm and there were only 4 other tables apart from ours. The restaurant was fairly bright and the tables were nicely spread apart so that there was enough space to move around. There were 3 of us for dinner and so we decided to order 3 different main dishes to share. They were all pretty good size portions. BACALHAU À BRÁS - fairly large size portion and pretty tasty. I've had better elsewhere, but this was still good. CARNE DE PORCO À ALENTEJANA - good flavours; however, the pork was a bit dry, even though it was a bit of a saucy dish. PICANHA GRELHADA - grilled rump steak, served with black beans, French fries, and rice. This dish was terrible and I would NOT recommend! The steak was chewy and tough. When we told the server about this all he said to us was "well, sometimes that happens" and walked away. So, you're basically telling people that sometimes it just happens that you serve terrible food and you still expect people to pay full price for it. Because of this dish alone and the server's response to our feedback about the dish, I will never go back to this place again and I do not recommend this place at all. If I'm going to be paying those prices for food, they better be good. Also, when we made a reservation, we needed to leave credit card details for the booking. There are other places that are far better for Portuguese cuisine.

There were four of us and ordered the sangria to share between three of us which was a lot but refreshing. Apps were Lucas Freitas (fried calamari) and Chourico a Bombeiro (flaming sausage). Both were delicious. I forgot to mention the bread and Piri Piri Sauce which came in the form of a large bottle. These were complimentary and it's nice to see a restaurant continue this tradition. There used to be a very crusty artisan bread that was served but over the years that has disappeared and it's a white bread now. Three of us had chicken/chicken breast and one had veal. Even the small portion was very generous. The salad was underwhelming but a pretty presentation. The server got a couple of orders wrong and seemed very distracted. The piece de resistance was the "Portuguese Tarts" which made a wonderful finale to a good Al fresco dining experience.

Once one of the top Portuguese restaurants in Toronto, Bairrada seems to have lost a step. I…read morerecently ordered a whole chicken and small potatoes via UberEats after a couple year hiatus, but was a bit disappointed. The chicken lacked the characteristic grill / char marks. The potatoes were bland, as if they were boiled rather than roasted. Or perhaps this was just a lazy attempt at slapping an order together because it was via Uber Eats? As always, their peri peri sauce is among the best in the city and saved the meal. Either way, lots of better options in the city these days.

Ambiance? A few chairs and tables inside of you're ravenous and can't wait to eat delicious food…read more The inside reminds me of a deli with lots of food behind glass. Service was prompt and the staff explained what the items were. Martin's cuisine can best be described as Mediterranean with a strong Portuguese accent. The star of the show is definitely the char grilled chicken. We ordered a family meal for 2-3 which came with a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces, and two large containers of potato balls (so yummy) and seasoned rice (not so spicy Spanish rice pilaf). The food was plenty for our group of 4 since we supplemented the meal with bubble teas. The grilled chicken was perfectly grilled but still moist. I wish the pieces were a bit larger. The seasoned rice was OK (needed more seasoning and veggies), but the potato balls were divine and plentiful. There was a parking lot for about 5 cars getting takeout on this busy narrow street. Getting a space and vacating that could be quite a challenge during rush hour. 4 stars for being a tasty affordable carryout choice.
