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.

J'ai eu une expérience chaleureuse & épicé comme l'était le bon poulet que j'ai bien digéré un soir d'autonome à Québec City.

L'équipe de la salle de réception était impeccable & le chef était très amical car il nous a rendu service on nous proposant de nous raccompagner au vieux port, où nous avions stationné notre véhicule plus tôt; à la place de payer pour un UBER😎, *inoubliable, *satisfaisant & *appétissant PICO LOCO. 🥂Merci à tout le staff.
🫡MKG!
