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.

The food was delicious & fresh. Perfect for someone who was trying to avoid poutine & tartare which seem to be the staples everywhere else.

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!

Arrivée un jeudi soir à 20h15. Le restaurant, comme plusieurs, ferme à 21h. C'est trop tôt. Première expérience à ce restaurant. Service lent, maladroit & inexistant. J'ai commandé la Paella; $27 pour 5 crevettes, 5 moules, 2 rondelles de calmar, une langoustine & un pilon de poulet sur un lit de riz: le tout clairement réchauffé, pas fraîchement cuisiné. Très bof. Un seul verre d'eau & pas de suivi d'appréciation du repas. Je me lève finalement pour aller payer. Première & dernière expérience à ce restaurant. Je n'y retournerai pas.
Belle réponse du propriétaire: je lui souhaite que les changements soient effectifs.

We were visiting Quebec & being that not many or none. Restaurants serves chicken I googled Portuguese restaurants & came across to this one. Fantastic food, the restaurant was simple & had Portuguese ambiance. Too bad there is not more exposure of this restaurant i am sure all chicken lovers would go there.
