    Excellent place if you are a meat lover. They do serve fish, calamari, sardines. Ordered the $40 mixed grill meats.. Delicious, love the quail and rabbit. Great customer service. For dessert try the Delice Maison...nice finishing touch!

    $40 mixed grilled platter. Bring a friend. Or.. 2 friends, if you are a normal person, unlike me, who has a ferocious appetite befitting a male twice my size.

    We picked calamari (the only seafood besides sardines you can choose from), lamb, pork, rabbit, and quail (can't choose beef either). All of them were amaaaaaaaaaaaazing! Its simple preparation (and really smart restaurant operation/business plan) brings out the natural flavors of the different proteins and just adds some grilled flavor to it. Delish. We had a little left over for rabbit sandwich the next day too.

    Shortcomings, staff wasn't as warm as I expected from such a cozy place at this. And a bunch of grilled meats means not a whole lot of complexity or contrast in flavors, even though they did provide mountains of fries.. which we've had plenty of in Montreal.

    Average Portuguese food in a very nice relaxed setting. My friend tried the Portuguese sausage and I was expecting great things, it wasn't that good, very dry and not very flavourful... I had the steak which was below average, too chewey ad too fatty...  It's a good place to go for a relaxing evening with friends and just spend hours chatting but I wouldn't go for the food....

    This restaurant is always the busiest of all the Portuguese restaurants in this neighbourhood. Delicious grilled chicken and lamb, french fries and a salad for 15$.  What's not to love about that! No fuss and definitely hits the spot, especially with the spicy sauce that I smothered on my chicken at least 5 times.

    Must come back and try the grilled calamari next time.

    Adorned with a big cock outside (the bird, you sick people...), Janos great place for a cheap and simple dinner. As a stranger whispered to us like the code into a speakeasy, I would also suggest to "get the chicken."
    Along with your chicken breast, salad with a dill dressing, and a side of fries, you will also have fun painting on chili oil from a mug onto your chicken. While extremely spicy, it's quite an experience smothering your perfectly grilled chicken breast with glistening spicy fat.

    Great grilled fish and pretty much grilled anything...HIghly recommended if you're into grilled meats. Also, the small Portuguese custard desserts are cheap and fantastic, worth trying.

    Fabulously grilled meat and fish.  This tiny place is down to earth and delicious.  The grilled calamari is a tasty, especially when smothered with their spicy butter sauce.  Not vegetarian friendly.

    I love this Portuguese family restaurant.  They have the best chicken and spicy house sauce.  I always get the drumstick and fries.  The home made potato chips are the best too.  I never care for bell peppers, but for some reason its soo tasty.  I must say they also have one of the best home-made sangria I ever had.  Now, I know how they're suppose to taste like.  I always go here when I visit my boyfriend in Montreal.  It inexpensive and pretty reasonable in price.  Everything is tasty good and home-made here.
