Churrasco of Portugal

I used to love this place and haven’t been for a couple of years so I was excited to come back. I’d seen some not too great reviews but with an over 4 rating we figured we’d go for it. Now I wish we heeded the bad reviews. The good: Our server was courteous and very good. The rice, potatoes, and piri piri sauce were good. We also appreciated the bread and olives. Portion sizes were decent. The bad: The meats. I ordered the half chicken (see photo) and my friend had steak and egg. The chicken was overcooked, very dry and not enjoyable at all. And, the steak was quite tough. We used to love this place but were saddened at the decline in quality of the mains. Maybe we were unlucky and came on a bad day? Our experience is similar to a few other reviews. I don’t think we will be coming back any time soon.

Food quality was really nice, and the portions were very generous!! We had salmon, chicken, and pork chops at our table and each meal had a very satisfied customer. We were already talking about coming back and whom else we would want to bring before our meals were even over. The temperature in the dine in seating area was very warm. Suggest maybe one or two more oscillating fans if possible to keep the dine in experience comfortable.

Honestly not that great. It is edible but burnt and overcooked chicken. Was really craving some good Portuguese food, but very disappointed. The potatoes have no flavor. The chicken is overcooked. The sauce is pretty good and the rice is average. I got half chicken. It was about $20. I have it again probably not. I wanted to also try the squid however you need to pre-order that as it takes a while for them to cook it.

We were looking for a place to have lunch near the Greenwood Conservation Area and so glad we picked this one! I had the pork ribs with Parisienne potatoes and Greek salad, all delicious! My companions were raving about the grilled chicken and osauces selections so everyone left feeling full and satisfied.

First time coming back here after Covid. A few things have changed. They now have a hot take out counter and also a small section selling Portuguese fry goods and frozen food. I have to say I was a tad disappointed. I ordered the calamari appetizer, and was surprised to get a frozen almost doesn’t take like calamari dish. Visually, it looks just like a plate full of calamares but when you bit into it, texturally not the same. Taste was good. Crunchy on the outside but too mushy on the inside. The grilled whole fish was the star of the meal. Perfection cooked. The rice and potatoes were so so.

I love this place. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I have ever tried. Very juicy and delicious. The potatoes on the side are to die for. They have one of the best piri sauces ever. We sometimes just buy the sauce (they have bunch of other grocery items too). The fried shrimp was okay. Very friendly staff and prompt service.

This place adds good variety to the food choices available in the area. Not many commercial blocks or strip malls have a place offering Portuguese cuisine. The interior and the diner setup with the food displayed in front also adds a very homey feel inside the restaurant. The operators just need to always ensure that the food is always heated up before serving. The meat was very saucy, spicy, and savoury. Fried rice also goes paired well with most orders. The food may come off as a little oily for some, but that is just how I believe the dish is actually intended. I also really appreciate the front counter staff who was very patient taking my order. I had to spend quite a bit more time because the pricing showing in the menu was already up compared to the publicly posted photos available on Google Maps.
