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.

C'est le meilleur poulet portugais que j'ai mangé en dehors du portugal ! Pour une expérience authentique demandez une Supe-Bock avec ça !

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.

La nourriture était excellente. Le poulet rôti sur charbon de bois & la paella sont des choix gagnants.

Très belle expérience chez Pico Loco sur la rue Saint-Jean ! Le menu est varié & donne envie de tout goûter. Nous avons pris les assiettes de poulet, qui étaient absolument délicieuses. Mention spéciale au service exceptionnel de notre serveuse, une jeune blonde très gentille, qui nous a accueillis avec le sourire & beaucoup de professionnalisme.

Came in with 5 takeout orders, truly wanting Portuguese food & culture. The music was Spanish/Cuban, & the food was not even close to real Portuguese. They may pass as a Latin resto, but no way near Portuguese! After asking to play some Fado music, the manager made a statement that'I'm trying to pain the customers'

Being a Portuguese restaurant, I believe they need to respect their own culture, & protect their brand with positive connotations.
