  • There are always a good few tells about the authenticity of a restaurant, before you even get your food. In the case of Portuguese grills, there are a few classic ones that are a must: An old tile look and smell (preferably red or brown), telling you it's been washed quickly with a dirty mop 3 times in the same day. The paper table-mat that says "Welcome" on it, but incidentally is put face down to give you a sense of originality; Which also serves to fix the required toppling tables. Add the welcome black olives, Portuguese bread with little cups of butter and you're in business. The other tell is the waiter; who usually shows up in a hurry, with the necessary glasses of water, the bread, olives, two menus and a confused/worried look on his face. Throws everything at you and tells you he'll be back in 5 minutes to take your order. Which he does. In a hurry. Good start. This is a Portuguese restaurant alright! The Order: Grilled Chicken, spicy. The classic. Hey! It's my first time at this joint! I gotta try out the classic right? If they can't do that well, I'm not gonna bother with the sardines and the chops. Service was quick and efficient for the food(15ish minutes), plates are as you would expect, half a chicken, salad and fries. The Chicken was moist and hot, no reheats (yay). However, wasn't marinated with that secret Portuguese magic, so tasted blend (just like regular, uncured chicken). The spicy side was perfect however, not too much, not too little. Fries are ok. Not bad and soggy, but not good and crispy either. Reminds me of the fries you get at LaBelleProvince or LaBanquise (people in Montreal will get this). Salad, again good portion, but didn't have that secret Portuguese vinaigrette which is so mysterious and delicious at the same time. We were only allowed one glass of water; that is to say, the waiter didn't bother coming back to the table once after our food arrived. I would've liked to order a Flan (dessert), but I guess that wasn't to be. The room is very noisy, more than usual, as the tiles and low ceilings and mirrors don't really help to damper the sounds. Overall, ok experience. Cheers,
