I went back yesterday - this time with my husband.
We shared a Churrasco BBQ Chicken Sandwich that comes with tomato and lettuce for $5.65 and each of us had a rissóis as a snack.
Both items were really good and made us want to go back very soon.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I stopped in here out of desparation, after heading to the market at the end of my workday. Should have known better than to hit up the St. Lawrence Market on an empty stomach - my bad.
The menu at Churrasco of St. Lawrence is pretty basic, BBQ chicken, BBQ chicken sanwiches, more sandwiches without chicken and Portuguese custard tarts...I ordered their "famous" Churrasco BBQ chickens sandwich topped with lettuce, tomato, mayo and hot sauce...the bun was okay, the BBQ chicken was ok, the toppings were...again, ok. Nothing spectacular. I'm, not even sure why I even ordered it...I suspect I was absolutely starving at this point and the smell of BBQ chicken just got the better or me. Overall the sandwich was, you guessed it...ok. However, the custard tart? WOW!
Service was quick, prices reasaonable, the sandwich was meh, but the custard tart was fantastic.
Probably not going to hit this place up again for their sandwiches, but I definitely see more of their custard tarts in my future. -

Me: I ended up not getting bahn mi. I got Portuguese bbq chicken at the market.
Friend in Niceville, Fla: Showoff. You people and your "big cities" and your "ethnic foods".
Yeah I guess we're pretty lucky. I didn't have the heart to tell her the next door Jewish deli counter Mano's (ob refrain: Manos hands of fate) is run by Koreans and serves up bulgogi on a bun. That might just send my Niceville, Fla (I'm not even making that name up) friend over the top.
$5+coins gets you a Big Mac sized hunk of BBQ chicken, lettuce, and sauce on a bun. It's juicy. It's sloppy. It's hard to find a place to sit down and eat it. It's a nice break from a Wendy's triple. I went with the cornbread on the side. Of the many things I used to hanker for in Korea was some nice cornbread (you could buy cornmeal in Korea but it was sold in little packets for $5 a packet and really only good for dusting the bottom of your pizza tray). So naturally if I ever see cornbread as a menu option I always take the cornbread. The guy behind the counter warned me it wasn't like American cornbread. It was Portuguese cornbread. Okay. Whatever. Cornbread me.
The cornbread was a bit of a disappointment. It's not the yellow, moist johnnycake I was expecting. It was a bun with a very very hard crust. One could barely tear it apart. Maybe I'm approaching my Mr. Burns years but I found it hard to tear apart.
I should have gone for the fries. Oh those fries. Big paper sack of fries. Mmmmm. -

If you have a hankering for Portuguese chicken in St. Lawrence Market and you have some spare time to kill, I'd hop on the TTC and get your butt out to Little Portugal instead.
This is a fast-food counter and nothing more. It looks like a mom-and-pop counter, so I figured the food would be good, fresh, and homey. Not quite. They're located at the primary entrance of the market and, even in a slow mid-afternoon on a weekday, seemed too frazzled to handle any customers past one. Maybe it is a good thing they pre-make their sandwiches to speed up the process.
However, because of this, my chicken sandwich was a royal let-down. This meant the meat was on the lukewarm side (I either want my meat cold or piping hot), and it had an excessive amount of gristle.
I will never turn my back on Little Portugal ever again. -

On a bright sunny spring day, there's no better given the outside picnic table seating. Get there early though; before the lunch crowd has the line-up careening through the market. Their speciality --- chicken. Sandwiches are fresh and tender and they don't skimp. Get a side of crispy fries and pop and you're looking at 10 bucks out the door. The place is absolutely no frills but if you're into a quick comforting lunch, give it a try. +ives: value, tasty -ives: can get really crowded if you show up late

I love this place. Fast, cheap, tasty. I always get the same thing - BBQ Chicken Sandwich - with extra Piri Piri sauce to pour over it. Their sauce is homemade, unique, and outstanding - they also sell it by the jar. I don't live in T.O. anymore, but this is on my list of places that are *must visit* when I'm back in town.
