| - After our meeting, we were looking for a
Neighborhood meat bbq to stave off the traffic rush hour and ended up at Galo, where they flame grill everything Portuguese style, in the Town of Mount Royal neighborhood (aka TMR).
The patio was inviting and ready for business with the white tables, red chairs, placemats and menus. Overall, the Restaurant was extremely clean and the owner, also happened to be our waiter. He was so proud of his menu, that he was walking us through the bbq options and his favourites. The restaurant started to get very busy as we sat and service was super fast and very friendly.
We ordered two appetizers: the chargrilled sardines and the ultra-tender broiled calamari which were fantastic and were a great start to the meat bbq fest to come. Next, came our dishes: flame grilled half chicken with rice and my three meat combo which included a spicy sausage, pork filet and a quarter chicken; the whole plate was phenomenal and tasted amazing!!!! The meal came with a bowl
Of back to basics salad: tomatoes, olives, red onions, red and green peppers, green and black olives, mint, romaine lettuce, with lemon, oil and vinegar tossed in; hmmmmmm! I dipped the freshly baked Portuguese buns at the bottom of the bowl
To mop up the sauce, Italian style, that's how good it was...
Finishing the meal with rice pudding and the traditional flame grilled Portuguese egg tart was #FoodPorn on two tiny plates! Full but not bloated, we will definitely return. And now that the traffic rush hour is over, we can get back on the highway...What a nice detour this was, mangia, mangia!!!
