Booked the Flames Castle for a special occasion. Getting seated and having drink orders taken was…read moreall good. However, on the down side the service was not very good. There was plenty of wait staff on site but communication between staff was quite poor. No one ever came by to see if we needed anything or to ask if we wanted additional drinks or the like. So we found ourselves having to constantly hail wait staff. A large portion of the weekend buffet was seafood. You would expect that when serving lobster and crab the tableware would include for seafood crackers. This is not the case. I asked for seafood crackers from two different wait staff and was advised they didn't have any. So I went to the matre d' and asked, she went into the back and brought some out for our table. If you serving lobster and crab, the restaurant should either provide crackers or pre- cut the claws ready to eat. With regard to the food, I would have thought they would have served some rolls or bread but we had to ask for this special. As well, most all the food was cold. So all in all, I expected more but a 3 star rating is about all I would give.

Not sure who decided that was a good idea. Interesting because they did come around to tell us about their wine options. The quantity and variety of the buffet was fine, efficiency quite good and wait staff were all kind, however the quality of the offerings was lacking. I would put the actual food part of the meal in the mediocre category.

It's funny how this place has gone viral having been around for at least a decade already…read more In any case, the hype is largely justified. It's fresh rotisserie chicken cooked over charcoal and served with a super tasty sauce. The price is reasonable too. No notes needed as they've pretty much nailed it. Even their potatoes were tastier than any other Portuguese chicken place I've been to, having a nice roasted exterior whereas most places just seem to have had them boiled.

This is just a pick up/ take out location there's no seating area. I would definitely recommend. Only bad thing I have to say.. it was crazy hot in there and the employees were sweating and I kinda got grossed out that the sweat would be dripping on the food. All the guys working in there were sweating.. but there was one in particular that was dripping sweat and constantly kept cleaning his face, neck forehead with a roll of paper towels. This place needs better ventilation.

What an incredible find tucked away in a small unit along busy Cawthra Rd, between Dundas and…read moreQueensway. This place is a true Portuguese gem. I originally stopped by the plaza to pick up bubble tea from another unit and ended up discovering this amazing little restaurant serving fresh, hot food. It was Friday after 4PM, and the selection was fantastic--octopus dishes, rice, potatoes, rissóis, fish patties, fresh pork rinds, desserts, and more. I picked up the pork rinds, shrimp rissóis, and a fish patty, and every single item was delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. The rissóis were especially good--crispy outside with a flavorful filling. There's also a Portuguese shop right next door, which made the visit even better. I found Terra Nostra Azores butter, cheese, Portuguese muffins, sardines, olives, and plenty of other imported goodies. Definitely a hidden gem. I'll be back regularly--this is the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.

Chicken is EXCELLENT! Very well-seasoned…read more I've had Rei Do Churrasco bookmarked FOREVER, but I haven't had a chance to check it out 'cause it's in a weird area/I forgot about it. However, I decided to finally come here as my usual Portuguese chicken joints' quality have kinda gone downhill. Since this was my first time ordering, I wanted to call and make sure how much in advance I had to order and whether or not they had Bacalau. The man who I spoke to was very nice and said that I should give 30mins notice and that they did have Bacalau. A coupla hours later, when I placed my phone order...they didn't have any bacalau. So I had to order a side salad to sorta puff up the portion. Chicken was still being prepared by the time I arrived for pick-up. Rice/Parisienne potato sides are in chafing trays and it wasn't as hot as the freshly prepared chicken. Still good, but just at different temps. Greek Salad that I ordered, last minute, was freshly prepared, crispy, had all the components. Medium size served 2 large portions! I'd definitely come back again, but if I wanted a specific, non-chicken dish, I'll definitely clarify whether or not they had it!

We arrived at 3:30pm, ordered our drinks and then our food. An HOUR LATER I asked the waiter where our food was and she said " Oops, we gave your food to another table and you will have to wait another 15 minutes We asked the manager what happened and he said " that's just the way it is" I then asked the dumb owner and he arrogantly said "well we have been in business for 40 years and we please most people " No " I'm sorry, let me make it right" This just reinforced how low iq and ignorant Portuguese people are. We happily left and enjoyed a great meal elsewhere. I will not recommend this shitty establishment to anyone looking for a good Portuguese meal as there are many others to choose from. By the way, I am also Portuguese.....

I've been holding off doing reviews because we've now been back at least half a dozen times. Instead of listing what we ate....at this point we've basically tried everything on their menu, including the seafood rice for 2 (really it's more like for 4). Not knowing anything about Portuguese wines, we've also tried both white and red wines at the waitress' recommendations - all good. Do make reservations on the weekend - it's not a big restaurant but I'm always amazed how the 3 of them took care of everyone without skipping a beat. These days with staffing shortage I've been to places with more wait staff that couldn't keep up like these 3 ladies do. Great 360 experience!

Excellent Portuguese Restaurant!!…read more They have an a la cart menu and on Friday a seafood buffet style, Saturday and Sunday they have a meat and seafood buffet style. The buffet style (because of Covid) they bring the food to you like Brazilian. They have a salad bar inside with a lot of selections like Octopus, rice, carrots, asparagus, salad etc. On the patio the servers walk around and slice up the 15 different kinds of food like Picanha, lamb, bacon wrapped chicken, bacon wrapped fillet mignon, whole bunch of different beef options, then they have whole shrimp, squid, octopus and small Lobster tails. And at the end they have pineapple dusted with sugar and cinnamon, really good Everything was great. And tasted really good. I mean way too much food for $55 I have a lot of pictures see below.

I chose rice and roasted vegetables, however they also had options for potatoes, steamed vegetables, greek/garden/macaroni salad and fava beans. The chicken was very tender and had a very aromatic barbeque flavour; expected nothing less as they use a rotating grill for their chicken. I asked for spicy sauce and although it was somewhat spicy, it had a more sour taste to it. Overall I really enjoyed the saucy, tender, and flavourful chicken and the sides completed the meal very well.

It's cafeteria style, but because of how fast they sell, nothing seems to sit and the food is consistently on a fresh rotation. I got the 1/4 chicken meal with two sides, potatoes & veggies and the flavors were on point. 10/10. I also bought a beef puff, which was just okay imo but it seemed to be sitting for a while so it wasn't as fresh. They give you very generous portions for the plates. No seating is available inside but they have 3 tables that can fit 2-3 people right outside their front door. Seems to be extremely popular with locals of all backgrounds and I can see why! It'd be nice if they stayed open a bit later but I'd definitely put this place at the top of my list of food options if I'm in the area again.
