Grillades Pico Loco concentre son identité culinaire sur la préparation robuste de viandes authentiques grillées au charbon de bois portugais. Les poulets entiers succulents sont marinés dans des mélanges d'épices piri-piri traditionnels, produisant un extérieur fumé et une chair tendre et savoureuse qui définit le cœur du menu. Des accompagnements comme les frites coupées à la main et les salades de légumes frais offrent un équilibre classique aux profils riches et carbonisés des protéines proposées. L'atmosphère met l'accent sur une approche fonctionnelle et efficace de la grillade méditerranéenne qui privilégie la rapidité et l'extraction intense des saveurs. Les convives découvrent l'arôme indubitable de la cuisson à flamme nue alors qu'une chaleur intense transforme des ingrédients simples en classiques savoureux. Cet établissement maintient un engagement envers les techniques fondamentales de la cuisine ibérique, garantissant une maîtrise constante de la flamme.

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!
Great place to eat. Stopped by here to eat with a family. Stojan was a great host. Chicken for the kids was fabulous. Well prepared a d super tasty. I encourage getting the dinner plate for 2. Great variety of meat. Steak. Well done. Home made sausages 👏. Will definitely return next time in Quebec City. Also very reasonably priced.
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.

J'ai adoré, très délicieux poulet, la sauce piquante est bonne à s'en lâcher les doigts. La paella était bonne & bien garnie. Il y a un plat d'origine bulgare appelé kufte qui ajoute un côté européen de l'est, très bon aussi.
Le service est accueillant, vous pouvez être servi à plusieurs langues, incluant espagnol, portugais & bulgare.
Le restaurant est spacieux & très propre.
Je recommande fortement.
I love it, the chicken it's delicious, the spicy sauce it's great. La paella plate was well furnished & with good taste. There's a bulgarian plate called Kufte that add an east european taste to the menu very good too.
The service is friendly, you can be served in different languages including spanish, Portuguese & bulgarian.
The restaurant is well clean & spacious.
I highly recommend it.
Very tasty food & a great experience overall. We ordered the chicken thigh & breast, as well as the Pico Loco salad with shrimp, & everything was fresh, flavorful, & nicely prepared. The portions were satisfying & the ingredients tasted high quality.
The staff were genuinely kind, welcoming, & helpful, which made the experience even better. It's refreshing to see a place run by young people who are clearly motivated & passionate about their work. Supporting local businesses like this really matters, & Pico Loco definitely deserves it.
If you're walking on Saint-Jean Street & looking for a casual spot with good food & a positive vibe, this is a great choice. We enjoyed our meal & would absolutely come back.
This roast chicken restaurant was already on this street when I first came to Quebec City, about a decade or so ago. Now it's moved closer to the Old Town. Today is my first time back in Quebec City in six years, & I've come back to this restaurant again. The roast chicken is as delicious as ever-incredibly fresh, crispy skin, slightly savory, accompanied with juicy & tender meat. The sausages are handmade by the owner, completely different from the industrial taste of chain restaurants; the saltiness is just right, & they're very tasty. The roast pork chops & shrimp are also roasted to perfection. The fried potatoes are made with a unique sweetness thanks to the owner's locally sourced potatoes from Orléans. Making them himself is a significant improvement over frozen potatoes, as well. This meal reminds me of my time in Quebec City; it tastes like home.
We had a great time at Pico Loco. The food was delicious (we had the chilli con carne & chicken soup apps & chicken breast dinner) fast & friendly service, & a warm atmosphere. The price was very reasonable too.
Absolutely the best chicken I have ever tasted with the most delicious sauce made from scratch! I've traveled all over the world & was so happy to stumble upon this place! Great food & service! Cannot recommend enough :)
