We were visiting Quebec & being that not many or none. Restaurants serves chicken I googled Portuguese restaurants & came across to this one. Fantastic food, the restaurant was simple & had Portuguese ambiance. Too bad there is not more exposure of this restaurant i am sure all chicken lovers would go there.

4.0

I had good paella in Spain before & last month in Ottawa at Soca Kitchen. The paella here leaves a bit to be desired. Live music on a Saturday night. Over half the mussels are broken, which is not good. 1 large decent shrimp, & the others are small & overcooked. The chicken is likely from the grilled chicken & it was okay but not fantastic. The rice was a little soupy still. Maybe 4 people ordering paella on a Saturday night stressed the cook so it is a 3* for the paella. I was really looking forward to a good paella. Took a while to get the bill when I wanted the bill with the egg tart to go. The egg tart (Pastel de Nata) is excellent that is a 5*

came here for a late lunch/early dinner & although the restaurant was empty (which we thought may have been a bad sign) all the food was absolutely delicious. the chicken was freshly cooked, juicy, & flavourful. 1000x better than nandos. many thanks to the kind bulgarian server whom we had a great conversation with. would highly recommend this spot.

It wasn't really authentic Portuguese chicken. Wasn't what I was expecting. The sauce comes on the chicken . You don't get extra sauce for dunking. I personally like it spicy & unfortunately it wasn't.

I needed a place to eat before going to a concert, & this place was looking promising. It's a very good place for a hungry tourist. Spacious, clean, smiling polite server. I tried their chicken & it was very good, but the best was their "Pasteis de Nata"- Eternal Portuguese classic. I highly recommend this place.
