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!

It took almost 45 minutes to get the food after we ordered. But otherwise it tasted alright.

We waited 45 minutes just to receive our starters, & even then, only one starter arrived. After that, we waited another 45 minutes for our main courses.
The seafood paella was extremely disappointing-it came with just one calamari ring. We also ordered the octopus, only to be told later that it wasn't available. The list of issues goes on.
We arrived at 7:00 p.m. & didn't finish until 9:00 p.m., leaving with a great deal of disappointment. At the end, we were told that the chef was not present & that the staff did their best under the circumstances. While we appreciate their effort, the overall experience was unacceptable.

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.
