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.

We waited 45 minutes just to receive our starters, & even then, only one starter arrived. After that, we waited another 45 minutes for our main courses.
The seafood paella was extremely disappointing-it came with just one calamari ring. We also ordered the octopus, only to be told later that it wasn't available. The list of issues goes on.
We arrived at 7:00 p.m. & didn't finish until 9:00 p.m., leaving with a great deal of disappointment. At the end, we were told that the chef was not present & that the staff did their best under the circumstances. While we appreciate their effort, the overall experience was unacceptable.

This place is a hidden gem right down the road from our hotel with some of the most delicious food that I had while in Quebec. We ordered the platter, which included all of the meat varieties offered. They were all incredible & seasoned perfectly. Sides were decent as well. So happy to have stumbled upon this place & would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal at a good price.
