| - Great no-frills Portuguese at a good price.
A little difficult to get the lay of the land first. When we visited in Sept 09, they were having some issues with the city as far as getting a new sign put up, so it was hard for us to find the resto. Then, when we walked in, we were greeted by a huge grill loaded with chickens (they do a mean take-out business, it turns out). The dining room was actually tucked in around the corner, a new addition to their grill/store-front. But once we were in there, it was a pleasant little place to have a meal.
We didn't try the rotisserie chicken, which is apparently the draw. Instead, my dining companions and I focused on their other meat offerings: the steak, the mixed (pork) grill and the chourico. Everything was excellent and authentic. And maybe it's because I'm a Bostonian and just used to paying a lot to dine out, but the prices were ridiculously low. Service was casual and friendly.
Can't wait to take my parents here, if they ever agree to come to Montreal with me again.
