About

Grillades Pico Loco centers its culinary identity on the robust preparation of authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled meats. Succulent whole chickens are marinated in traditional piri-piri spice blends, yielding a smoky exterior and tender, flavorful flesh that defines the core menu. Accompaniments like hand-cut fries and fresh vegetable salads provide classic balance to the rich, charred profiles of the protein offerings. The atmosphere emphasizes a functional, high-output approach to Mediterranean grilling that prioritizes speed and intense flavor extraction. Diners experience the unmistakable aroma of open-flame cooking as intense heat transforms simple ingredients into savory staples. This establishment maintains a commitment to the foundational techniques of Iberian cookery, ensuring every plate reflects a consistent dedication to the craft of the grill through meticulous flame management and quality ingredient selection.

We had an excellent dining experience at Pico Loco. We were able to interact at length with the owner, who advised us on some of the specialties. All the food was extremely flavorful, wine was excellent, & all the prices were notably reasonable given the high costs elsewhere.

Très bonne expérience. Le service a été un tout petit peu long. La nourriture est excellente, les potions sont correctes & laisse un peu de place pour le dessert.
Le serveur était très courtois & à la écoute.
Très bonne découverte. Je recommande.

Food was Ok,
They took forever to serve us! It was not even funny. We ordered desserts & we had to cancel as we were waiting for more than 30 min.
Terrible waiting time!

Nous cherchions un restaurant pour 4 personnes le soir après 19h.
Le service fut un peu long mais la cuisine bonne (j'aurais aimé plus de sauce pour ma poitriine de poulet) & très bonne pour la pieuvre grillée.
