Dropped in this afternoon while I was driving thru Mississauga. Had the BBQ chicken, which the waiter recommended as their signature dish. Great stuff! Rice was done well, chicken wasn't too dry and the hot sauce added just enough kick.
Was tempted by other items on the menu...will be back to try more. -

I love the location in Toronto, so I was delighted to see a location in Mississauga pretty close to the movie theatre. This place seems a bit newer but continues the whole laid-back casual dining feel that the Toronto location has.
When we were sat, the server put down bread and butter, which was nice. The bread was hard as a rock, though, possibly because we sat down for dinner at 10pm.
My friend went for the house steak and I went for the BBQ chicken. Her house steak filled an entire pie plate and was covered in thick rounds of fried potatoes and pickled veggies. She said it was pretty good. My bbq chicken was and entire half a chicken served with rice and parisian potatoes. I felt as if the food wasn't as good here as the Toronto location, but like I said. We got there just before it closed. The chicken and beef were a bit overdone, but still tasty. I found everything really salty.
The service was friendly and very efficient and the prices were fair. We both paid $25 each, tax, tip and a 1/2L of wine between us and left with enough leftovers for another meal. -

Swiss Chalet got nothing on Portuguese Chicken!
It's been about nine years since my last visit here and now I remember why it's taken me this long to go back. The last time I was here I remember it being so ghetto kinda like a cafeteria setting almost and now it looks more like a food court setting you'd see at a mall. My little beef with the seating arrangement is that you are so close to other people that it kinda ruins your meal a little. For one I'm not one to ease drop on someone elses conversation or do I like hearing other peoples conversation but it's impossible not to ignore it b/c you are that damn close to other people.
Besides the seating arrangement the interior looked very nice and clean. The bar area adds a nice touch to it with sports, mostly soccer, playing on the screens. I wanna come back here just to see what it is like during the World Cup! I betcha this place would be crazy during that time.
The one item that stands out here is the BBQ chicken. The chicken is very well done, cooked properly and the flavour was nice. But when you add that hot sauce that they supply it makes the chicken so much sweeter. The white meat on the chicken was very good not dry at all like almost every other place I've been to. The one item not to get is the sausage. Presentation wise it's served on a pig that's on fire, very wonderful site to see where it gets everyones attention. There is alot of meat in that sausage but the flavour wasn't the greatest and it was very dry that we didn't even finish half of it.
I don't know when the next time I'll come back here maybe another 9 years but who knows if I happen to be craving Portuguese chicken and I happen to be around the area I'll grab some for take out.
Items to definitely get:
- BBQ Chicken -

I have been on several occasions, hoping that the food quality will get better. I'm not picky in regards to food presentation; I understand that great food can look horrible.
Pros
- decent prices for the size of meal that you get (hearty portions); as mentioned by Richie S., most dishes are basic meat and potatoes and rice, not much to look at, but decent.
- the rice was very good
Cons
- BBQ chicken (signature dish) was very dry (on all occasions that I've been)
- potatoes surprisingly were not delicious; too greasy, too soft/boiled. Not sure what it was
- environment/ambiance: if the food was better tasting, environment/ambiance would not be an issue. But I put this in the con section because it's very cafeteria kitchen-esque; there is an outdoor seating area which could be nice.
Overall
Disappointed. From the other reviews, I had expected delicious piri-piri/BBQ chicken. However, the quality of the food was sub-par. Environment/ambiance/service - nothing spectacular to rave about.
Wouldn't come back again. -

Medium steak was a little too well done. Good portions though.

Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was really packed, had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. They pack the tables quite tight here, so be prepared to be elbow to elbow with the next.
We started with the flaming sausages, which were quite tasty actually. Although flavorful, they were in fact just a little on the dry side, which is more noticeable as time passes so eat it quick. Good for 2 to share, $10.
I had the roast chicken as per some other reviews here. It was tasty, with a nice BBQ flavor. Just a bit on the dry side. Complemented by some moist potatoes and delicious rice. With the sausage, it was very filling. $10.
My dining partner had the brazilian steak, which was thin pieces of beef. It also had a nice BBQ flavor but not much in the way of sauce. Still, if expecting grilled meat, this does the trick.
All in all a tasty afternoon lunch, and for reasonable price. Would definitely come again, as you can't quite find these tastes elsewhere. -

Bairrada has really good Portuguese food. We couldn't help ourselves and we ordered
- Sausage
- Roasted suckling pig
- BBQ chicken
We jammed everything in our mouths. The only conversation we had were MMMs and it's so good. The sausage was served on a pig shaped troth and it was flaming. It was so kitschy but so cool! The pig and the chicken came with seasoned rice and roasted potatoes. We made sure to douse our meat in the tasty piri-piri sauce.
For dessert, I opted to have something called Cream of the Heavens. It' was trifle like with different layers of whipped cream and custard topped with cinnamon. With some Portuguese coffee (complete with sugar from Portugal), it was nice way to end our heavy meal.
Service is attentive, warm and friendly. Food comes out rather quickly. We really enjoyed Bairrada and will definitely come back again.
P.S. February 2009 is their 10th year anniversary so between Monday to Thursday, they take 10% of your bill. Bonus! -

I never would have visited here if it weren't for my little Portuguese service guy person dude.
This place is light on the wallet and offers some pretty tasty food. I would say most dishes are basic meat & potato and not much to look at, but scrump.
I'm fairly new to the whole piri-piri flavour (thanks, Loblaws you bastards) and can't believe I've missed out on it for so long.
Conveniently located right next to an LCBO. Dreams CAN come true... -
