Braseiro

Great bar and restaurant family owned and operated. Large portions with very reasonable prices. Very small restaurant so it may take a while to get a seat. They offer take out as well. Parking can be a challenge around the area. Make sure to pay attention to the street signs or your meal can become very expensive.

Amazing chicken poutine! The portion is also vey satisfying would definitely recommend 💯

Best chiken I have ever eaten in my life I've tried other places around me never I'll change they are the best in 23 years of service I congradulate them

Found this place by using Google and didn't regret it. Chicken was well cooked and flavorful and portion was good for the money we paid. Service was good and the staff was nice and offered suggestions for those who had a hard time deciding. Would go again.

1st time here. We live in the area and we wanted something close by Well, we were impressed ! Unpretentious Portuguese eatery with delicious chicken and meats on the charcoal We loved the spicy poutine ! The sandwich bifana was tender and tasty! The mixed meat platter was excellent and full of flavours. Salad is insane too! The Natas for dessert ended up much better than expected and not to miss Definetly going back!

Very authentic and lovely people. Food was delicious and very reasonable for what you're getting. I'm a fan. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes.

Great service and excellent food! We had the red sangria and the prato misto and the same but with polvo/lulas, don't miss the pastéis de nata! Reservation highly recommended, there is no option on-line so you have to call.

Tucked away like a well-kept secret, this Portuguese charcoal grill restaurant is far more than a neighborhood staple — it’s a culinary pilgrimage for those craving authenticity with a touch of elegance. From the moment you step inside, the scent of smoldering charcoal and marinated meats transports you to the heart of Portugal, where tradition is not just respected — it’s revered. The ambiance strikes a rare balance: rustic yet refined. Warm wood tones, traditional Azorean tile accents, and an open grill set the tone, while attentive service and curated Portuguese wines elevate the experience. The frango no churrasco — chicken grilled over open flame — is the soul of the menu. Crispy-skinned, deeply seasoned, and kissed by smoke, it’s a masterclass in simplicity and depth. But the sophistication reveals itself in the sides: tender roasted vegetables, perfectly salted potatoes, and house-made piri-piri that’s fiery yet balanced. Don’t skip the bacalhau — a dish that demands respect and delivers reward. The cod is buttery, the olive oil rich and aromatic, and the garlic confit melts on the tongue. Each bite feels like a nod to generations past, lovingly modernized. For dessert, the pastel de nata arrives warm with a delicate brûlée top — a simple, elegant finale to a meal grounded in heritage and elevated with care. In a city full of noise, this place doesn’t shout — it speaks softly, with integrity. It’s Portuguese to the core, but with the kind of quiet sophistication that invites both regulars and newcomers to feel like they’ve come home.

Whoa! We invited a Portuguese friend for dinner, he said that he would bring the food! Bien que son poulet piri-piri sur le barbecue soit délicieux... this one tales the prize! Juteux, relevé et fumé, cuit à la perfection, I'm already thinking of when I can go there to pick up some more! Ou pour manger sur place! Go and try this chicken! C'est la bombe !

Post pandemic lunch. We were two and almost alone. Great friendly service. The chicken was delicious and tender. Nice size plates. We both ate well. Great Portuguese dishes. We got lucky even with parking. Enjoy

This is a small charming Portuguese restaurant with a comfy vibe to match, it suited to what I wanted to eat. Meat! My appetizer was an array of cheeses served on a cheese board with grilled crusty bread. My main course was slightly charred chicken and sausages served with salad and rice with little fries. My palette was filled with spicy flavours. I loved it! I finished my night with cream brûlée and a cappuccino. A great place to enjoy a catch up conversation with an old friend and lay back. Kudos!

I had the chicken which was dry no specific taste at all, the steak was not tender the 3 stars its for the place. The restaurant is small a lot of variety, on the menu they bas different kind of fish but that day fish was out of stock they should had removed it from the board menu.

Its an ok restaurant, i went for lunch with peoples from work and its a small place. We took 75% of the restaurant ( we had a reservation), it didn't take time to have our meal and even if its not portugese fine cuisine My chacoal cooked chicken was good. A good restaurant if you're in rush but not for a date. C'est un bon restaurant , je suis aller lors d'un diner avec des gens du travail. C'est un petit resto et à 10 personnes nous occupions 75 % du resto ( avec une réservation quand même !) Le repas est arrivé asser rapidement et même si ce n'est pas de la fine cuisine mon poulet cuit sur charbon de bois était correct. Bonne place si vous êtes pressé mais pas pour une date.

Happen to come across this place during my lunch break . I came here a year ago never finish my review I took a mixed plate than it was really good now I went for the rib streak that came with a potato soup I liked the soup the steak I asked for a medium rare it's what I got and it was really good the chef was on his game today. I think it worth checking out for sure maybe during lunch time where it's not super packed. I'll warn you some plates will cost a lot and it doest look really fancy inside but the food so far is was great.

Came in without a reservation with 4 available 2 seat tables at around 8 PM on a Saturday night. Waiters needed to confer between themselves (there was a huddle) and then opted to allow us to have a table. Yey! We were then consequently given the table directly near the door and with fall coming along, we preferred to sit somewhere further away from the door. There was a table mere feet away that was more sheltered but the seating arrangement wasn't negotiable since there was "a reservation". Ok. Did they reserve that specific 2 seat table to their patron or something? Same seating arrangement, isn't our money just as important as theirs? We weren't very impressed by this but we ended up sitting down and placing our orders anyways. Since it was our first visit here we decided to go with their mixed meat plate but apparently try don't serve plates that are shareable and expected us to grab another plate. We shrugged and went with another identical plate since we really wanted to try the variety of meats they had to offer. When the plates came they were actually pretty big and I couldn't understand why they couldn't have a shareable mixed meat plate like so many other resto seem completely able to do without issues. We ended up with so much salad & rice it was just wasteful..People tend to regularly share plates, especially in a community setting. ....maybe I'm difficult but whatever. Regarding the food, it was pretty good. The chicken was excellent as you'd normally expect a Portuguese resto to serve. The pork & beef was quite tasty. I however felt the chorizo was underwhelming in contrast to the other meats. The service was alright, food & drinks were served in a timely fashion and refills were done without a problem. Ultimately, we felt we paid more than we should have for what we ate. Perhaps seeing 2 plates with identical 1/3 of it leftover with so much salad & rice left me a little resentful when I paid the bill. Finally......when we finished paying I went out of my way to point out at the empty table we weren't allowed to use..... which sat empty beside us during the 1+ hour meal we just experienced. Shenanigans. Truly. With so many Portuguese options I don't wouldn't see myself here again anytime soon.

Great restaurant. Their special plates are: grilled Chicken, Fresh Fish, Grill, Seafood. We had two chicken sandwiches, fries and salad. The fries and salad were as expensive as the sandwich. Prices are good. Staff is kind. Lighting a bit depressing but food is good. You can watch the World Cup matches. They have one big tv. Photos show a bit the ambiance and what we ate. I would go back for a quick bite. Would recommend adding Better lighting. It would help to bring up the ambiance, and feel like staying a bit longer and having dessert and other drinks. I would say it's a more walk-in for a quick bite.

It was the first time I had Portuguese food so have nothing to compare it to, but the chicken was delicious. I liked the little kick of spice it had and was not overpowering. Tip would be finish the food while you're there because the chicken becomes dry when reheated. I will definitely come back again.

My #2 favorite Portuguese spots. Seems the smaller the restaurant is the better it is taste wise. Been going to this place for about years. Not a single complaint! The chicken is charred to perfection. Ive ordered the bifana sandwich ( pork cutlet) the chicken sandwich, and the whole chicken. Yummy goodness. I almost died and went to heaven... The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 starts its because, last time i went i ordered a whole chicken and asked for spicy, it ended up not being spicy at all :( This place is so small, and every time i go its packed, therefore I take my order to go. The servers are really nice and friendly.

Sitting inside the restaurant right now and I am so in awww of how come I have never thought of coming here before. I have passed by this place so many times but never thought of trying it out. What a mistake that was!!!! Braseiro has taken chicken to a whole new level. I had the quarter chicken leg, it was juicy, grilled on charcoal, it had that charcoali taste. It came with a side of fries and salad. The fries still had the skin on it, which made it even better. The food was fresh, the staff is very nice and friendly. Deserts are as good as the food itself. Coffee was excellent. The restaurant itself is small but cozy. Prices are very good, portions are reasonable.

This small, charming Portuguese restaurant was definitely a nice discovery. We stumbled upon it while in the area, and it was so full that we just had to try it! We started with their soup, the Caldo Verde (the Portuguese potato and kale soup with chorizo). The soup was flavourful and comforting, the perfect way to start the dinner. Then, I tried the chicken salad; their chicken was delicious!!! The ambiance was friendly, I would recommended the restaurant to friends & family, will definitely try to go back.

If you're looking for good Portuguese food, you can find it at Braseiro! Their menu is a mix of portuguese plates between chicken, steak, and fish. I personally go there for their chicken! There spicy sauce is delicious and is a must try when ordering the chicken. Be sure to reserve a table, as it gets busy on evenings. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a nice, cosy restaurant to celebrate a birthday, occassion, or a get together. :)

Hands down the best Portuguese restaurant I've ever tried. It's true that the restaurant itself is small, but the service is good, the menu is big, and the food? The food more than makes up for the size of the establishment. It's just amazing. My favourite thing to have here is the pork, which is moist and has a really unique flavour. But everything I've tried has been a hit, always fresh and cooked fantastically. Their chicken is amazing too, just the right flavour and charred perfectly. If you want to try something different, though, I highly recommend the Bitoque (Portuguese steak), which was really delicious - and came with an egg on top. All in all, I highly recommend Braseiro if you're in the mood for some delicious Portuguese food!

Great casual Portuguese resto! Nice selection of Portuguese wine (private import) and the chicken is fantastic! Grilled squid was a hit too!

My friend and I came all the way from Boston to visit Canada . We got hungry and walked in here, and when we walked in , we were seated rather quickly BUT we sat in our seats for about 20 minutes before someone walked up to us to take our order. The gentleman takes our order and then brings us cold bread which we were not going to eat. Then we sat there for another 20 minutes waiting for our food which was okay I guess because we want cooked food ! Well when we received our food it was AMAZING !!! So that was the only pro about this place.

The cheese, the olives, the chicken, the dessert, all of it was amazing. So sad I didn't get photos. The only downside is that the dining area is small so eating in may be difficult without a reservation.

I have to say that this local small Portuguese eatery has some of the best Portuguese Grilled chicken in Montreal. This is not just saying that is all they serve, they also have amazing Salted Cod on the charcoal and always served with very tasty sides. This is a charming place where the staff is very friendly and you can always find one of the 2 brothers behind the grill smiling and making sure all that comes form the kitchen will please the palette and is mouthwatering.

It's as good if not better than everybody says. I had the 1/4 chicken with Greek potatos/fries and a salad. The chicken was some of the best I have had in Montreal. Grilled to perfection with the right amount of seasoning and spiciness. So much so that I used the Greek fries to try to relive the flavor. Not that they needed it. They were perfectly fried which I have found to be quite rare when the fries are that large. Seasoning was a nice combination of garlic with a hint of lemon.

In my opinion, one of the best Portuguese chicken place in town. They cook it on charcoal grill and the seasoning is perfect. The octopus is also delightful. Service is good and the place is always busy. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. I go there at least twice a month!

I was amazed at how succulent the chicken tasted. The portions were generous , the service...great! I would definitely recommend Braseiro to my friends and family, and look forward to going back!

This is a hit or miss establishment. When it's good, you get a decent meal at a reasonable price. However, when you get one of the rude waiters and it's a bad day, you leave feeling ripped off. There's no denying that the chicken can be good, the sausage too. However, if you take the mixed plate, the pork is always tough and overcooked. Excellent fries and a nice salad. The bread is terrible. Why they serve what I would describe as some of the worst bread is beyond understanding. The bread detracts from the quality of the food that the restaurant prepares. The complimentary olives and the decent selection of alcohol is good. The restaurant offers take away and that might be a better experience as one can take it home and eat in quiet comfort.

Absolutely delicious! Super friendly service and amazing food! I ordered the quarter chicken and substituted veggies for the fries, I honestly couldn't be happier. I'd give them six stars if I could... Keep up the great work, I'll be back for sure!

Simple decor, friendly service and great simple food. With a Portuguese style, Braseiro serves up deliciously grilled meats and seafood in paprika red oils. I tried the whole sardines and calamari (not fried! yum). Both were bursting with flavor and the integrity and moisture of the seafood was perfectly encapsulated by their preparations.
