Grill Barroso

Friendly restaurant with excellent Portuguese chicken!!! The fries are to die for, they are like potato chips and taste amazing. The chicken is pretty good but maybe not as crispy on the outside as I like it. Lots of combos and excellent if you want to share with someone. Overall great place to eat and I would definitely good back.

Best grilled sardines ever! Chouriço was perfect! I had the combo Demi-​poulet & côtes levées and it was very great. 3^rd time in this place in 5 years. It never disappoints.

My boyfriend and I were staying in an apartment close by. We’d done a lot of walking that day so we wanted to find a place to eat close by our apartment and were very glad we decided to come here. The food was amazing, we had chicken with rice. The seasoning on the chicken was very tasty. The staff there were very friendly as well, and were helpful when we wanted to substitute the fries with rice. I’ve never had Portuguese rotisserie chicken, and this place has made me a fan.

Very good Portuguese chicken and octopus. Bring your appetite because the portions are heavy, complemented by a salad and delicious potatoes. The place is not very big, but makes for good group outings.

Tout est bon, mais à emporter, c’est encore meilleur!
Je vous conseille vivement le poulet familial accompagné de ses frites/​chips, salade et sa bouteille de Sumol, parfait pour un repas en famille quand maman n’a pas envie de faire à manger ou entre amis pour changer de la pizza. Voilà un repas un peu plus santé qui amèné du goût dans les assiettes et du soleil dans les cœurs!

This is what the first place that I ate at my visit to Montréal and I’m not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was great.
keep in mind, it’s not delicate French food, it’s greasy heavy Portuguese food. If you like that, then you’re in. The sausage and surf and turf is absolutely great. The portions are huge and you will not leave hungry.
I love restaurants that give you free things too. We didn’t order it, but they gave us free salads. Isn’t that a nice touch?

Ever since the amazing Le Porto closed down, if I want Portuguese grilled meat near the village, then I go to Barroso’s.
I’ve been here several times now and not once have I had a bad experience. Typical Portuguese grilled fare, chorizo, flank steak, chicken with piri piri sauce, sardines, calamari, shrimp, lamb chops, pork chops, take your pick, go for the mixed grill menu if you’re not sure. All comes with salad and home-​cut fries.
Prices are very reasonable, the service is friendly, the clientele are pretty lively. Someone in the restaurant had a birthday and we saw the bartender go by with a sparkly candle on a sardine! Also don’t miss their natas dessert, the custard tartes portugal is famous for, like mini-​crème caramel tartes. The waiter we had was super nice and even gave us a free round of port wine.

Getting tired of St-​Hubert chicken? Well come here to eat great fire grilled chicken! This was an amazing experience for me, i really got tired of the rotisserie style of chicken. When I friend brought me here, I really thought I was going to be disappointed. When you walk in the flames are blazing in the kitchen. You can see them cooking on the grill; and you know you are now going to get quality food.
The restaurant might be a hole in the wall, but its quite cozy. When I went, there was almost no one there. People are really missing out here. There is different dishes for everyones tastebuds. Just remember there is a lot of meat that they will cook on a real grill.
I can’t wait to go back.

This meal was excellent… both times on my 2 day visit. Yeah had to go back again the next day.
Get the combo… ribs (I’m not a ribs person, these were amazing), chicken, the Portuguese fries (sooo good), and salad.
The fries are the star of the show. They’re thick potato chip shaped cuts… prepared perfectly. They’re about 3 potato chips thick and are awesome with salt or mayo.
The meats were great too… and the salad was great.

Portuguese food in Montréal used to be confined to the Portuguese area (near St-​Laurent and Duluth) but with the rising popularity of these grill everywhere in the last few years they are beginning to appear in other neighborhoods. This one is pretty good and I would recommend it whenever you are around.

My friends and I swung by Montréal, after a weekend in Tremblant.
We ended up in the neighborhood with reservations to Au Petit Extra, but missed the 2:30pm weekday lunch deadline. The bistro’s host was nice enough to recommend Grill Barroso down the block (both are on rue Ontario Est).
Our group of 7 were the only patron, so we were wary. And Portuguese food in Francophile-​friendly Montréal?
We ordered a couple of appetizers («entrees» in Quebec & France), and a bunch of main courses, most meats aside from the grilled sardine & grilled calamari.
The food was not bad! The hand cut potato chips were the best part of the meal. On the same block is also another Portuguese resto, called Bistro Le Porto. This was the first place suggested by Au Petit Extra, but they were already closed for lunch when we arrived.
