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.

My husband & I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience! The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, & full of flavor. What made the experience even more special was having the opportunity to talk with the chef. He was warm, personable, & clearly passionate about his food & the experience he creates for his guests.
It's not every day that you get to enjoy such incredible portuguese dishes while also having a genuine conversation with the person who created it. The attention to detail, hospitality, & care really stood out. We left feeling not only completely satisfied with our meal, but also grateful for such a memorable experience.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food, wonderful hospitality, & a dining experience that feels truly personal. We will definitely be back!

This place is a hidden gem right down the road from our hotel with some of the most delicious food that I had while in Quebec. We ordered the platter, which included all of the meat varieties offered. They were all incredible & seasoned perfectly. Sides were decent as well. So happy to have stumbled upon this place & would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal at a good price.

Good ambiance & very friendly staff. The food was worth the wait. At least they have wifi to help you find something to do will l while waiting for the food. It was perfectly grilled. Meat was well done but soft & not burnt. Wonderful flavors. Highly recommended except if you are in a hurry.

J'ai adoré, très délicieux poulet, la sauce piquante est bonne à s'en lâcher les doigts. La paella était bonne & bien garnie. Il y a un plat d'origine bulgare appelé kufte qui ajoute un côté européen de l'est, très bon aussi.
Le service est accueillant, vous pouvez être servi à plusieurs langues, incluant espagnol, portugais & bulgare.
Le restaurant est spacieux & très propre.
Je recommande fortement.

I love it, the chicken it's delicious, the spicy sauce it's great. La paella plate was well furnished & with good taste. There's a bulgarian plate called Kufte that add an east european taste to the menu very good too.
The service is friendly, you can be served in different languages including spanish, Portuguese & bulgarian.
The restaurant is well clean & spacious.
I highly recommend it.

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.

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.
