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.

I just think this place is overpriced, half a chicken meal will cost you 26 before tax & tips. & the famous Portugese roast chicken is a bit plain & average. The rice is actually better than the chicken.

The chicken was 75% fat, the spicy sauce barely registers on the scoville ladder, service was not very good

The food was pretty good...but oh my goodness the service was severely lacking 🙃 I'd do takeout if I was craving chicken - but not eat in again.

This was the best chicken I have ever had! I would eat here every day if I lived in Quebec. My friend said the same thing. I had the chicken leg with rice & green salad. It was healthy, filling & just absolutely amazing!

The half chicken was delicious, although a little dry, but we ate it all. The pea soup & fries were also delicious. The bill was reasonable. Nice staff. We would come again.

We were vacationing in Quebec City & found this place. Excellent service, great ambiance & delicious food. We ordered the ribs, chorizo, ceviche & grilled chicken. They are all delicious & great portions. The ceviche was especially so... it was served on top of fried plantains; Soo good!

Visited in Late January... Great chicken, arrived at exactly 5pm as resto was opening. Only drawbacks were, small serving & the fact that our young male server got replaced by a female with more experience... He was doing a great job. We did not realize this was a BYOW restaurant, & would have done so had we known. All of the restaurants near the old city want you to have reservations... Keep this in mind.

We used to live their old location. However on this day we went I ordered the chicken leg meal & there was practically no meat on my piece, the skin was soggy & the interior was cold. Not impressed! Fries were good but for 20.00 it was not good. My partner had the chorizo which was not bad actually. We will not return.
