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.

Nous cherchions un restaurant pour 4 personnes le soir après 19h.
Le service fut un peu long mais la cuisine bonne (j'aurais aimé plus de sauce pour ma poitriine de poulet) & très bonne pour la pieuvre grillée.

This place is amazing & the food is awesome!
It took me more than 6 months to review this place but I never forgot the beautiful connection me & my father had with the owner who is also the head chef! He even prepared a special sauce for us when I realised we are Mexican.
Amazing food, impeccable service & beautiful people behind this!

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.

We had a great time at Pico Loco. The food was delicious (we had the chilli con carne & chicken soup apps & chicken breast dinner) fast & friendly service, & a warm atmosphere. The price was very reasonable too.

The piri piri sauce is amazing!

Très bon restaurant familial! Leur poulet est excellent & tendre à souhait. Le personnel est très sympathique & accueillant. Leur sauce portugaise piquante est délicieuse. Les seuls petits hic seraient que la salade de choux contenait beaucoup trop de sel de céleri & leurs frites étaient ordinaire. Le service est un peu lent. Dans l'ensemble j'ai été très satisfait, j'y retournerai c'est certain! Je conseille définitivement ce restaurant.

Je me suis présenté un dimanche à l'ouverture à 16:00 pour un repas pour emporter. On m'a servi très rapidement avec le sourire. Comme je faisais une longue route, ils ont mis la sauce à part. Excellent service & la nourriture est délicieuse! Merci!
