A good friend of mine introduced me to Bairrada quite few years ago and became a fan instantly. I had driven past it for years and never even thought to drop in. I am glad I did. They have excellent food, decent portions for great prices. My girlfriend and I eat here on a monthly basis. She loves the barbecue chicken, I love the house steak and we both love the Sangria !
The only minor drawbacks that I see are the tables being extremely close together the desserts in the plastic cups, but the food makes up for them by far.
I have tried many dishes off the menu and have never been let down. They also serve most of their dishes with the most amazing chilli sauce that I would buy by the gallon if I could.
The service at times can be a little slow but that is only because they get really busy sometimes. With that being said we have always had extremely friendly and gracious service.
If you are in the mood for great barbecue chicken drive past the Swiss Chalet and all the other chain restaurant and give Bairrada a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
