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.

Quand on connaît le vrai poulet au BBQ en crapaudine avec la petite sauce piquante portugaise, on ne peut qu'être déçu. Même les pasteis de nata étaient vraiment très moyens.

Il manquait plusieurs items au menu lors de notre passage un samedi soir. Le poulet était ok mais sans plus. mais la sauce maison excellente. Service lent malgré le peu de clientèle. Qualité/prix est décevant.

Un excellent restaurant, parfait pour un repas en famille ou entre amis. Le poulet, préparé avec une recette maison, est tout simplement délicieux - à mon avis, bien meilleur que celui de St-Hubert. Une adresse à ne pas manquer !

I had good paella in Spain before & last month in Ottawa at Soca Kitchen. The paella here leaves a bit to be desired. Live music on a Saturday night. Over half the mussels are broken, which is not good. 1 large decent shrimp, & the others are small & overcooked. The chicken is likely from the grilled chicken & it was okay but not fantastic. The rice was a little soupy still. Maybe 4 people ordering paella on a Saturday night stressed the cook so it is a 3* for the paella. I was really looking forward to a good paella. Took a while to get the bill when I wanted the bill with the egg tart to go. The egg tart (Pastel de Nata) is excellent that is a 5*

came here for a late lunch/early dinner & although the restaurant was empty (which we thought may have been a bad sign) all the food was absolutely delicious. the chicken was freshly cooked, juicy, & flavourful. 1000x better than nandos. many thanks to the kind bulgarian server whom we had a great conversation with. would highly recommend this spot.
