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 enjoyed a great meal here & recommend this restaurant. It is steps away from the main attractions in Quebec city. The service & customer attention was great. We wanted to eat Portuguese food & it was delicious! Very reasonably priced for the amount of food.

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.

Quelle déception. On a commandé des grillades de poulet & porc & on a reçu du poulet fait au four & du porc fait en poêle. Pas du tout des grillades portugaises. J'ai jamais mangé quelque chose assez fade. Pas du tout ce qu'on c'est attende. Je ne recommande pas à quelqu'un qui veux vraiment de la cuisine portuguese.

La nourriture & les employé(e)s étaient si magnifiques la première fois que nous sommes retournés au restaurant une deuxième fois le lendemain! Nous le recommandons pour ceux & celles qui se trouvent au centre-ville de Québec! Si nous sommes retournés à Québec dans la future, nous allons manger ici. Merci pour la service fantastique!

Nous étions de passage dans la capitale pendant la semaine de relâche & avons eu l'agréable surprise de découvrir Pico Loco. 🇵🇹

La qualité des plats & la richesse des saveurs nous ont littéralement transportés au Portugal. De l'entrée au dessert, tout était délicieux & soigneusement préparé.

Une très belle découverte que nous recommandons sans hésitation !

Casual, laid-back atmosphere. While the service was a bit slow, it was understandable as there was only one waiter for the entire place when we visited. Despite that, the flavor was amazing. I absolutely loved the polenta, & the chicken was delicious. I would definitely recommend.

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.
