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.

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.

We had an excellent experience dining at Grillades Pico Loco - Rôtisserie Portuguese in Quebec City, a restaurant specializing in traditional Portuguese cuisine & fire-grilled meats. We ordered the Grilled Discovery Platter (a selection of grilled meats: homemade sausage, picanha, chicken & pork chop, served with two side dishes of our choice), perfect for two people. The food tasted delicious & the table-side flambé service by Stojan was amazing (using fire for dramatic effect & flavour enhancement)! The meats were smoky charred & savoury with a deep umami flavour. They were generous with the portions & the meal was so appetizing. Delicious food, amazing 10/10 service & nice ambiance made it a memorable experience for us!

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.

Quelle belle expérience, puis le service... un 10 sur 10, rien de moins ! L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse & familiale. La poitrine de poulet était écoeurante.J'ai eu un coup de coeur 🫶

Pour le prix, la nourriture est très bonne. Je changerais juste les noms, car la paella est pas vraiment une. L'attente a été assez longue ; j'ai vu qu'il n'y avait qu'une seule personne en cuisine, c'est sans doute pour ça. Le service était impeccable, rien à redire.

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 !
