| - Ma Poule Mouillee is a Portuguese chicken eatery that's owned by Chef Antonio Alves and has been around since '13. The menu offers charcoal-grilled chicken, sandwiches, salads, poutines, and even daily specials (such as grilled squid, octopus, sardines, and grilled cod). I was interested in checking this place out, as it seems to be a competitor against Romado's, another local favorite for Portuguese charcoal-grilled chicken. The hubs and I had the Louis CYR, which came with 1/2 of a chicken, salad with dressing, and fries (in which we opted for the whole roasted baby potatoes instead). I did request for extra sauce this time around, in which the staff member kindly brushes on as much as you want. The chicken itself was slightly dried out, but the sauce and the skin tasted delicious - there was a nice smoky flavor to it, and more of a grilled taste to the bone. More sauce was needed, though. The salad and the boiled potatoes were forgettable, but I do have to note that they do give you a very generously-sized portion! You order up by the grill, then you go along to the cashier to pay. The place has seating, but it is pretty much busy all the time. I'll probably request for a cup of extra sauce the next time and just stick with the chicken!
