    The chicken and calamari are amazing.  Much of their food is grilled over an open fire- using maple wood.  Simple and delicious.
    This is a true Portuguese grill outside of Portugal.  
    DELECTABLE !!!!!!!!
    Muito Bom.

    Ok so this place is one where the service can seem rude or non chalante for some, but don't let that stop you.  This place is off the beaten track and usually known to locals.  I usually get take out from here and the order usually includes, one whole chicken, grilled sardines, grilled quail, and  grilled calamarie, the sardined come with boiled poatatoes, the chicken comes with fat tasty fies and usually a salad will be in there somewhere.  The price is very cheap and the flavors are uniquely portuguese, the "butterflied" whole chicken along with everything else is prepared on a wood burning roasting pit.  The decor is rather dark but cosy and they have a full bar liscense.

    This is such a good place for Portugese food.  After some mediocre Portugese food in Ottawa yesterday I made the most out of my trip to Montreal.  I dropped into Chez Doval to get some chicken and fries.  

    I came in after lunch but if you come to this place for dinner there is a chance that it will be packed and you will be waiting in line.

    The chicken is amazing as always!  It was cooked perfectly but the best part was being able to smell of the food cooking from the kitchen.

    The service is always great and the portions are pretty good!

    I've had the steak and pork and clams from this place and they are also top notch choices!

    Best portuguese place in town. Located in the heard of the portuguese area in Plateau this place is always packed.

    They do not take reservations so you gotta take a risk. Everything on the menu is great - chicken, beef, porc, seafood. Try their house porto - its killer.

    Service is great - all authentic portuguese. Good cheap date place. Walking distance from st. denis and mont royal - all the places to go for drinks after dinner.

    Really nice little spot off the beaten path. A great casual Portuguese grill. The service was very good, although near the second half of our dine the joint was packed and the waiter was having a hard time keeping up. The sausage app was real good. The steak was pretty good too. As was the grilled chicken. This is not high end fancy spot, so don't come here expecting anything but traditional Portuguese grilled food.

    Nothing's changed.  Food is the same - good, but not great.  Service is somewhere between obligatorily courteous and aloof.  Not really aware of other popular Portuguese restaurants in Montreal (except for high-end dressy Cafe Ferreira), so go on in wearing casual attire, eat a filling meal, and don't expect to have this place rock your world.

    Very authentic but incredibly noisy at lunch time. The second room seems to be favored by the Portuguese-speaking workers--that's where you want to sit if you want the full experience.  Fresh and simple cuisine, nothing fancy.

    I wouldn't go there for dinner, though.

    One of our favorite meals while in Quebec.  We were sent here by a local to whom we are very grateful.  As I am hardly an expert on matters Portuguese, I cannot speak to authenticity, but I am quite proficient at eating, and we were happy campers at Chez Doval.  Salads were plain but yummy, with a delicious but light dressing.  Roast chicken was well-seared, yet tender and delicious.  Steaks were outstanding as well.  Even the fries were difficult to resist.  Large portions -- come hungry.

    Went there last night (a Wed) with a party of 18, which just about swamped the place.  Fantastic, inexpensive food.  Very friendly waitstaff.  Tasted the chicken and had the calamari, house specialties which were both fantastic (although personally I'd order the chicken next time).

    This is probably one of the best places I have ever eaten.  Simple and delicious Portugese food.  I had grilled Octopus with French Fries and a Salad and my wife had grilled Chicken with Fries and salad.  We went back and I had grilled Calamari and my wife had quail.  It was all delicious.  The house wine was good too.  The atmosphere is active and the service is attentive.  It was really an experience I will remember.
