| - Monteiro may be a far cry from the legendary Mavi rotisserie that used to be at the same location; nevertheless, it still does a convincing job of Portuguese chicken.
It is one of two new Portuguese rotisseries that recently opened in this part of town. Solely based on the chicken, I prefer this place to Piri Piri on Cote des Neiges. The flavor of Monteiro's rotisserie chicken is more complex, and the hot sauce they use to mop the chicken with is far better.
I just wish the rotisserie chicken could be much smokier like what Mavi used to serve.
Portion sizes are huge, not just the chicken legs themselves, but the mountain of fries, rice and salad that are included as well. The chicken leg dinner was already quite cheap, and for one dollar more you can add another chicken leg.
The french fries taste homemade, and are dusted with a nice light and tasty seasoning.
If you don't like chicken, you're out of luck since every dish on the menu contains chicken. Maybe they will eventually add other traditional Portuguese dishes like chorizo, grilled seafood, etc.
The restaurant is newly renovated and clean, but its not huge inside, so it might not be ideal if you're a large group.
I will definitely be back, since it offers a really good value for the money.
