Sauce. \n\nI've had catered food from Bairrada on multiple occasions, and each time, I tell myself that I have to give the actual restaurant a visit for its BBQ chicken. I ended up finally visiting on the morning of Portugal's World Cup game vs USA. The staff were noticeably excited in their Portugal t-shirts. The service was great, our server was very friendly and was great at making conversation. \n\nOn to the food - we tried the BBQ chicken (a must-try), the flaming sausage, and the lechon (roasted pig). The chicken at Bairrada is likely their most popular dish. It's cooked Portuguese-style and is served with their signature red sauce. They called it a mild-hot sauce and advised us to try it with pretty much any dish. While the chicken is just a tiny bit on the dry side, the sauce is the perfect remedy. \n\nThe flaming sausage was quite a unique appetizer - it came partially cooked on a flaming pig-shaped grill (as you'll see in some of the pictures). We were given tongs and the opportunity to cook the sausage as we wished. It was not as juicy as the more popular types of sausage in the city, but that didn't take anything away from the taste. I'd still definitely recommend it. \n\nLastly, the lechon. Being a Filipino, I'm always tempted to order lechon whenever I see it on a menu. The Portuguese style of lechon is not as crispy as the Filipino style, and they also like to use a slightly different sauce. I personally was not much of a fan of it, as my favourite part of lechon is the crispy skin!\n\nIf I had to say one negative thing about the restaurant, it is not very accessible. The washrooms are tucked away in the basement (similar to most establishments downtown) and may be difficult to get to for customers that have trouble walking. Not so much a con, but it's not something you expect from a restaurant in a big lot in Mississauga. \n\nTip: Order the small size if your dish selection is given the option. The portions here are HUGE! \n\nEnjoy!"^^ . "5"^^ . . . . "4"^^ . "3"^^ .
