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.

Moi & ma femme sommes allés manger au restaurant Grillades Pico Loco - Rôtisserie Portugaise, & nous avons adoré l'expérience.

La bouffe est excellente, avec des assiettes très généreuses. La paella est particulièrement réussie : abondante, remplie de fruits de mer savoureux & accompagnée d'un poulet grillé parfaitement assaisonné & juteux.

Le service était remarquable, assuré par un jeune homme très poli, sympathique & polyvalent, toujours attentif sans être envahissant.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse & conviviale, & les prix sont très, très agréables pour la qualité & la quantité servies.

Une excellente adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter. Nous y retournerons assurément.

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.
