Had a good meal here at Grillado's to try their Portugese chicken and other Grillado's Specials on the menu. The kebabs were flavorful and had an amazing sauce that comes with it, the beef ribs are huge (see picture) and the grilled espetada was good (except the burned/charred/blackened parts which we didn't eat). For sides, had the coleslaw, some fries and of course : poutine (it was great but the gravy was very salty and didn't have enough cheese). They have vegetarian options as well if you have friends that don't eat meat & their meats are halal-friendly. The place is clean and they have several TV so it's perfect to watch the FIFA World Cup (we were watching France vs England). Overall, a great place to hang out. read more

This is why you should usually trust Yelp reviews over other platforms. On Google this had 4.5 stars and a bunch of people wrote this was their favourite Portuguese chicken in the city -- I decided to give it a shot and... I guess my rating paints a good picture. In all honesty, the chicken was decent, as was the portion size -- but it really lacked flavour and was a little dry in some parts (like the breast). I did ask them to add more sauce but the chicken arrived completely plain. They also forgot to provide utensils and napkins, so yes, I ate with my hands. The grilled vegetables on the side were cooked well but the main taste I got was "oily", and they were begging for salt. Overall, this tasted like chicken I could've cooked myself, so I guess if you're looking for that quick weekday night BBQ flavour, you'd enjoy this spot. Maybe I didn't get "the right" thing, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the best chicken I've had! (P.S. the "extra hot" sauce was quite mild, at least for someone who loves spice) read more

I've had my fair share of Peri Peri chicken from Nando's but I've never had peri peri beef ribs. And boy oh boy were these delicious. The beef was tender and had a great char flavor which worked really well with the sauce. Only dinging a star coz the chicken wings were a bit tough and the onion rings were not so great. But other than that, excellent spot. Added bonus is that it's halal , in case you have dietary restrictions. read more

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). read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Grillado's - Dawn's grilled chicken. - Portuguese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

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. read more

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. read more

You can't go wrong with portuguese chicken! I like this place's menu. They have great choices, the price is reasonable and the food was really good! I just think that my chicken was a bit on the dry side. But besides that, everything else as pretty delicious. I had a bit of concern about the service. While We ordered our food and picked our choice of sides, the lady at the counter wouldn't stop insisting on making us choose more on the menu, even if we had chosen a good variety of plates. And she even insisted on telling use about the tip, that it wasn't included and that we could choose how we wanted to tip in their interact machine. Weird, but ok. read more

If I had to describe this place with one word it would be AMAZING! Flavors were great and the service was on point! Definitely not my last time coming here when I'm in Montreal. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This was a great lunch spot! It has the feel of a casual dine experience, staff were friendly, and the food was very good. We got the chicken pita with lemon herb sauce, Caesar salads, garlic bread, and spicy rice. The best part of the meal hands down was the chicken! Great flavor and cooked right. The garlic bread was so toasty and soft it was amazing! The salad and the rice were pretty good. Overall a great lunch! read more

Best price for a family meal. The chicken brochette combo is my favourite with the rice and the amazing grilled chicken. Lots of sides to choose from, so glad when the corn is in season. The Sauces are to die for but the only down point is that most of the time, the chicken is over cooked with dry out ends. Big turn off. Last time my veggies were charred, that was a deception and the egg custard pies are not to my satisfaction. read more

Love this place already. Had a sample of the chicken walking by with their garlic sauce and couldn't resist coming back for a meal. The chicken is super tasty and is of great quality. Their peri fries are also delicious. My new go to chicken spot ! Great food and the prices are very reasonable as well. The staff is also very friendly.

Came here for lunch with 2 friends and decided to share 2 half chicken meals. We ordered one with their signature spicy sauce (medium heat) and one with their herb and lemon sauce. Things started off a bit on the bad side as we were missing one set of utensils and never got any water, both of which we had to go ask at the counter. All was forgiven after biting into a piece of their spicy Portuguese chicken. The meat was juicy, moist and packed with an amazing amount of flavour. The herb and lemon half was also pretty good, but definitely a bit lackluster compared to the first half with their trademark sauce. An option of 2 sides for 5$ was also available and we chose fries and rice in both combos. The rice was decent but the fries were a a little disappointing. Overall still a great experience. The prices were ok, maybe a bit expensive compared to other chicken joints. Will definitely visit this restaurant again if I pass by downtown Montreal. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this halal chicken place. The chicken was delicious and tasted like the fire grill and that's just delicious. They gave us so hot sauce and let me tell you it was hot hot hot. The salads was fresh with a great dressing. Also the French fries were delicious but my bf said they were frosted and then fried but I found them soooo good. I used to go to school across that place and never tried it and I should of before. The portion was perfect for two: we had the whole chicken with fries and salad. I recommend this place for chicken lovers all around. 2 Thumbs up and a burned tongue!!!!! read more

I was here some days ago for lunch and ordered their lunch special. The sauce was great but the chicken was not very impressive. It was ok, but not great. Fries can also be better. In a town where you have Portuguese chicken places like Romados and Ma Poule, the bar is set high. read more

Wow. Snowy white chicken, just the right amount of sauce, spice level is perfect . I got the quarter chicken breast (medium spiciness) and spicy rice. I think it's more "spiced" than "spicy rice" since I didn't find it spicy at all, but that isn't to say it wasn't awesome. But the chicken. Oh the chicken. I couldn't even get a picture because when I came back to my senses, I had devoured it all. Insanely tasty! The medium spiciness is spicy enough to give you a kick but you can still taste everything else on the plate. On a more serious note, we didn't realize the waitresses actually do some waiting, so we didn't tip when we paid, but left some in their jar. And the manager is very friendly and helpful! read more

My family ordered the catering chicken platter and the ribs platter. It was all AMAZING!!! The chicken was tender, the ribs came off the bone with ease. It's my first time eating at the Laval store and they have made a lifetime customer. The staff was welcoming, the amount of time it took to prepare the food was reasonable and the prices are good. Thank you to the staff of Grillado's for making our dining experience a great one! read more

So I'm on vacation in Montreal and just happened to pass by this brand new restaurant. They were giving samples of their chicken. Just one bite and I was hooked. The chicken is super tender and flavored perfectly. I got something called the Fiesta on the menu that's $11.99. It's very healthy and freshly made too. Anyways, I'll edit this later since I'm still on vacation. I wish them well and good luck to the owners. (They've been open for 2 days) as of this posting. read more

I was excited about trying this new place, but was disappointed with the service. Precisely 30 minutes after placing my order (and paying for it), the cashier walked to my table to look at my order. He asked me to repeat everything, then went to the kitchen to place my order. At the time of this writing, I still haven't received my food (it's been 40 minutes), so I can't say whether it's good or bad. read more
