    a plate of food with onion rings
    Cynthia L.

    Visited the downtown location of Grillado's peri peri and tried their 1/4 grilled chicken leg combo with a side of onion rings, the fiesta plate and a side of grilled vegetables. The 1/4 chicken leg had a nice flavour from the grill, and the peri peri sauce packed abit of heat and paired nicely. The onion rings were crisp and the grilled veggies were a nice side (although there was a lot of green peppers). The fiesta plate unfortunately missed the mark for me, the chicken was dry and the salad was uninventive. The rice from the fiesta platter was also slightly on the mushier side. Overall an ok place for a quick lunch if you like peri peri grilled chicken. There is comfortable seating but the overall decor of the place could use a bit of a renovation (including the bathroom).

    As Montreal is still missing a Nandos, I am always on the lookout for good peri-peri chicken that can satisfy my craving for the infamous Portuguese chicken. Grillado's is a decent family restaurant with enough seating and a bright and colourful interior. The concept is easy to understand - select your choice of chicken and flavour along with sides. We ordered a few large family combo platters to take out which consisted of a whole chicken, large rice, large fries, garlic bread and dips/sauces. The girl serving was a little rude as she mentioned that they didn't have sauces when they had many lined up on the serving table. After pointing that out to her, she finally added a tub of peri peri sauce to the takeaway. We didn't wait too long and received our order fairly quickly. Everything was packaged very well and stayed warm until we reached home. The chicken is succulent and full of flavour - it did manage to satisfy my craving so I will probably be back! Overall, decent place with average portions.

    My grilled chicken is better. Thought we'd give it a shot given the reviews and it was mediocre at best. The spicy rice wasn't spicy...it was plain yellow rice. Cole slaw was nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken was okay but could have used some seasoning...start with salt and pepper. Tables were dirty, hostess/waitress was busy on her phone instead of paying attention to the customers. It was 45 dollars too much. Here's a pic of my grilled chicken...which is ten times better!

    Called for a pickup which took forever for barely anything. It was 50 dollars for a wrap and salad and a family platter which had nothing but a small salad and a few pieces of chicken. The place is really clean but extremely empty inside I never see anybody in there. I will not return do to the fact that they charge 50 dollars for food that should be maybe 25 if they're lucky.

    We were walking down St Catherine and decided to stop here for a mid-afternoon snack. I've read about the great Portuguese chicken places in Montreal, but didn't pick a specific place beforehand. I am glad we randomly stumbled into this place. We ended up trying the poutine, which was really good, it had the perfect amount of sauce/cheese to fries ratio. We also tried the star attraction, the peri peri chicken. We order the 1/4 chicken (i.e. thigh and leg) with the medium hot sauce, it was disappointingly small (see picture below), although it was tasty, and we weren't too hungry, so I guess it's not a big deal. We also tried the garlic sauce, which was delicious and also tasted well with the poutine. I wanted to try the Portuguese egg tart, unfortunately it was sold out. The woman behind the counter was very nice and brought the food out to our table when it was ready. It was pretty great service for a fast food place.

    This isn't one of the best places for Portuguese Chicken in Montreal, but it's the only one closest to Nandos. I had been craving Nandos so my friends told us about the Chicken, Rice and Peri fries here and that if you take your own Nandos sauces from the super market, the experience is similar. We got there around 9, and ordered our meals. Service was efficient and we received our meals within fifteen minutes. The restaurant was almost empty so I was excited to enjoy the meal with the entire place to ourselves. However within five mins, the servers started moving chairs and tables all around us and cleaning up the entire place. They continued this for the entire 45 mins we were there. Closing time was 10:30, so we were a little taken aback that they didn't wait for us to leave before they started this process. It effected our entire experience. Chicken was good, fries had peri powder and tasted good as well, however the rice was bland.

    You can get portions of chicken or wraps/sandwiches with choices of sides such as grilled veggies, fries, onion rings, etc. You can also choose one of their sauce to accompany the chicken. Although the sauce is good, the chicken is a bit dry. As for the service, the wait time tends to be a bit slow. The staff is friendly.

    For a quick Portuguese chicken, Grillado isn't a bad place. Service is alright. The chicken are good and the fries are delicious too. But do not have high expectations. It's not your regular piri piri spice chicken. As I said, for a quick grab, it is a decent place.

    Attended a work function at Grillado's and it was absolutely delicious.

    Attended a work function at Grillado's and it was absolutely delicious. Two thumbs up and kudos to the chef for delivering an amazing experience for 50+ guest.

    I had heard great things about their wraps so my boyfriend and I stopped in for a bite. I grabbed the 1/4 chicken ($5) + the potato wedges ($3) while he ordered the brochette ($10) and peri fries ($3). After two canned iced teas it came to $25, since it was counter service with some table serving effort we rounded it to $30. The wait time wasn't too bad, but we were disappointed the minute the plates were dropped at the table. We had assumed the brochette would be beef from the description when in fact it was chicken. Wouldn't be so bad if we didn't pay $10 for two meh sized sticks of chicken if it came with a side salad or fries or something. We also got regular fries (that were cold) rather than the ones ordered but wasn't a huge deal. I was happy with the flavor and juiciness of the chicken and the potato wedges would only have been improved by a little less of the very salty seasoning they use. Still tasty. Overall the place didn't have the bang-for-your-buck factor but if you come as a family and grab the full chicken and a few sides I can see how the value would improve. Next time I'll just try the wrap. The reason I can guarantee I'll be back to try it is that as one of about 10 tables in the restaurant, the manager came to speak with us before we left to see if we enjoyed our meal or had any feedback. He was very kind and very open to feedback which was a really nice touch. It's a 3 star, but it's a positive 3 star.

    We came here because it was on the way to the apartment where we were staying in Downtown. The ratings were great so I thought why not. Obviously I should have been a bit alarmed by the low number of ratings. Canadians aren't up to reviewing much, obviously. The place is nice and big enough. There was no line and there were only three more couples beside us. Order was super fast (one star), they speak English, but the menu is in French, only the server has one in English (at least that was what happened in our case). I ordered a Double Kebab without a side and my husband ordered a Caesar Salad ($5). Funny enough that one came with a side of fries. Weird. The portions were too small for the price in my opinion. The Kebab especially. It's $8 and you get about 8 pieces of meat with nothing else, unless you pay another $3 for a side dish (rice, fries,...). The food was tasty though (second star), no complaints there, but we won't be returning, that's for sure.

Thank god I found it because one large chicken + chorizo poutine can feed my hungry wife and I and we even have leftovers! The fries are fresh, crispy, and the gravy is made with drippings of their own rotating rotisserie chicken. The chorizo sausage is barbecued to perfection. Did I mention they give you a lot of food for the price!? They also have a beautiful bakery with Bolas, strawberry cheesecake, and other fresh-made bakery items. They also have great service, with friendly cashiers, and the quality of food is 6 out of 5 stars. It's my favorite place and I come here almost once a week. They are passionate about their food and generous, and if you don't feel like paying up-the-arse for delicious Portuguese chicken Romados is the place for you. It's homey, they have spicy and mild Piri Piri sauce to choose from, the fries are tasty but not too salty, Chicken Salad is really delicious, and furthermore, they have family options, rice, potatoes, and you can order a half or quarter chicken, as well as other options like soup and barbecue pork (also very good). Thank you Romados!

    No fuss setting…read more Portuguese Chicken with Poutine = heaven on a plate. The chicken was tender, seasoned well and complimented by the tangy spicy sauce we selected. The patis de nata (I believe) would taste much better if it was heated. We bought it from the case. Otherwise, the service was fast, friendly and efficient.

The prices are what you would expect from a nice restaurant, a bit expensive but fair, and they have numerous selections to choose from. I hadn't tried Portuguese fried sardines before and they were quite delicious, and served with lemon and a spicy piri piri sauce that really enhanced the dish--big portion and had leftovers! The grilled Chorizo was delectable as well, with the charcoal flavor really shining through--not too spicy. My favorite dish was the Pork and Clams stew, a classic Portuguese surf and turf dish that was a little potato heavy but the flavor was perfect with hints of lemon, red pepper paste, and a salty, but not-too-salty brine on the tender pork loin. Another dish I tried was the grilled pork medallions: it was a bit average but still good. The potatoes were a little soggy/not crispy and the green salad was a touch too simple with just balsamic vinegar and olive oil; nothing special, but decent. The grilled Portuguese chicken was pretty nice and had that charbroiled/grilled flavor and the meat was quite juicy. The large serving is enough to share if you aren't too hungry and came with same sides as the pork medallions dish, which felt a bit repetitive... The waiter was very attentive and checked up on our table often. Good service. I prefer Aldea, another Portuguese restaurant a few blocks away, since they had similar prices and a bit better quality, more uniqueness of flavor...but if you are feeling a more homey, family-style energy then Casa Minhota is perfect for you.

It starts with the parking out back, which is about 10 spots immediately adjacent to the rear of the restaurant. Parking there is only for restaurant patrons but there is usually parking on Rue St-Laurent, a most happening of places. The side is a happy Portuguese tiled experience, which I say with authority having dined in the most Portuguese place, Ironside neighborhood of Newark, NJ. The music is extremely well chosen Portuguese modern music which greatly enlivens the entire mood. I cannot say Africa things about the food. We came during Montrèal Restaurant week, locally called MTLáTable, which has C$27 3-course brunch specials which are ssoooo gooood, our party of seven ordered all different dishes and the quality presentation and unique cooking style of each one is to be complemented. Clearly the prep staff made fresh choices of ingredients of every type. Many highs include the unique drinks menu and the happy staff whose attitude make you want to go straight to Portugal, a famously idealized land & people, appropriately so. Salud!
