The wife and I wanted to try out some Portuguese cuisine and with a little help with my solid collection of Yelp bookmarks I found this well liked location, in the heart of lovely Old St. Rose... one of the few genuine Portuguese restos in Laval!
The ambiance is pretty dim with warm colors that set a nice mood for those of you who enjoy that intimate or romantic setting. We were promptly seated in the back, warm and far away from the cold winter harshness and isolated well enough so our conversation was kept private.
After some contemplation we went with the 'Prato de Carnes' (meat platter!) which consisted of chicken, portuguese sausages and pork. While we waited we were provided with a huge warm bread bun which we promptly ravaged.
After 15 minutes or so, our meal was served in a huge plate filled with delicious looking meats and a side plate with french fries with homemade mayo.
Let me just state that the chicken was out of this world good, so much so it completely surpassed everything else. The moistness.... THE MOISTNESS PEOPLE!... and the taste... BY GAWD the TASTE!!!! I must go back just for this!
The sausages, they were good... but completely forgettable after tasting that chicken... the pork? an afterthought!!
The chicken folks... the chicken!!!! Why are you still reading this?
The side fries were good as well... and the home mayo were delicious... they should provide it in a bigger bowl though. :)
For dessert, we went with Portuguese tarts... they were pretty tasty.
The price-tag is about average and worth it.
The service was decent as well.
All in all, somewhere I'd def go back.
