  • We had a last minute business lunch scramble and we needed food fast for at least 25 people. What's the universal beloved food that it's to grab and go (no... beer is not food)... chicken! I was intending to head over to Swiss Chalet (ack) since it was conveniently close to us, it's well known and liked by my work. Someone suggested we try their absolute favourite place, Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill instead for the chicken. I always love finding gems in the neighbourhood so with a quick call, we ordered 8 full sized chickens for us. The restaurant is in a strip plaza (like 99% local Mississauga restaurants) and it's quite old looking from the outside. Inside is filled with wood paneling and it's quite old school. The scent of oil and grilled meats filled the air. It smells great and I was thinking the recommendation was a great choice. Ordering was pretty darn easy over the phone and when it came to pick up, the meat was ready to go. Sadly... the staff wasn't. We first walked in and no one greeted us. It was completely empty. We tried to find someone for a few minutes. Finally someone walked out and asked us if we wanted to be seated. We said we wanted to pick up our order and they went to the kitchen to get it. I didn't time it but I swear we waited at least another 5 minutes. A different person came out of the kitchen and asked what we wanted. We told them that we were here for our pick up and that someone else went to get it. They said that the meat was already done and they'll get it. They went back to the kitchen to get it... feels like deja vu right? At this point, we were probably standing in the restaurant for at least 10 minutes for an order that was already done. FINALLY the chicken was brought out in a large aluminum platter and a large carton of sauce was given to us. They must have overfilled it cause there was tons of red oil just leaking everywhere onto the platter from the styrofoam carton. We wanted to head back quickly as people were waiting for food but I think the person must have had a memory lapse because it took them nearly 3 tries to get them to work the credit card machine. Within a good 15 minutes, we were back at the office and opening up the platter. The chicken smell was that great rotisserie smell with a hint of citrus. How did it taste? It was more flavourful than Swiss Chalet with the citrus marinade or baste they had on it. The skin was crispy with a paprika spice on it. ... so why the 2 star review? Chicken was kinda cold, it was really dry, and some of the chicken looked malnourished (maybe it was from being too dry?). It was definitely on the small size. The sauce they provided did end up going everywhere and it was 35% oil. It was untouched as most people didn't want to douse their chicken with it. It's a toss up ... good taste but overcooked and cold with the most confusing service I've had this month. I wish I could say I would order from them again but sadly I can't.
