Portugalos Restaurant Gatineau in Gatineau

The ultimate spot in Gatineau for the best Portuguese dishes! Each dish is prepared with care! Very tasty! I highly recommend!

Alentejana carne de porco made with cooked potatoes that do not absorb the sauce, unlike the usual cubes of fried potatoes served with this dish. Disappointment. Next, the caldo verde was very spicy. This was not indicated on the menu and the waiter/waitress should advise when a dish is spicy since the two alternatives (spicy and not spicy exist in Portuguese cuisine). It was the same for the chouriço. Otherwise, average service and lack of smile or thank you when paying.

First disappointing experience, possibly because it was on delivery. :( So I cant evaluate the service and the atmosphere on site, however the delivery should have taken 30 minutes and it took more than an hour, so 2 stars for the service. First, they are falsely advertising (see photos) delivery should be free, but we were charged $5. Second, The food arrived cold and Im a 5 minute drive maximum. Despite everything, the chicken was excellent, the ribs on the other hand were not tender at all and had a lot of fat.

The food was great, but three different servers kept wanting to be our servers, asking the same questions again and again, even when we said it was getting out of hand. Thankfully, we did not have to also pay the bill three times. Parking: A bit far

Great food, friendly staff!

Première fois à ce restaurant mais certainement pas la dernière! Nous avons été accueillis par un personnel sympathique et chaleureux. Lambiance était tamisée et très plaisante. La nourriture était absolument délicieuse et les portions généreuses. Les prix sont raisonnables vu la qualité et la quantité des produits. Je recommande fortement ce charmant petit resto!

Very good Portuguese meals and the service is very good

The food was very delicious! Great experience.

The family enjoyed the Lunch Highly recommend

Very nice discovery. Table of 5 people. This restaurant was unanimously acclaimed. The perfect sea bass.

I really liked it. THANKS

We ordered the mixed meats, a generous portion and delicious. The attention, spectacular. I would return a thousand times.

One of the best steaks Ive had in a long time I highly recommend this place

Great service! Each of the dishes served were delicious.

Very good quality-price and quantity-price ratio. Im going back!

Great service

*Note, ordered through Uber Eats for delivery. Rating is closer to a 4.5 stars, but I believe in rounding up. Ordered the 1/2 Chicken with Rice, and the chicken was very juicy and well seasoned, the reason for 4/5 for Food is that, in my opinion, the Rice lacked flavour. Had good colour, and I liked that it came with diced carrot/celery, but felt it to be bland and wanted it to be salted. Maybe its intentional, due to the flavourful chicken, but I did not care for it. Otherwise, the portion sizes were very good and got multiple meals out of my order, and the it was well packaged to retain heat for the delivery.

Portuguese home cooking. Good value for money. There were four of us and everyone enjoyed their dish.

Very good quality and decent prices! Would go back for the chicken. Amazing chicken platter. Pastel de nata was delicious. Had the Cod cakes as an entree was very nice. Food

10 minutes from downtown Ottawa/Gatineau, its more than worth the short drive...Great Portuguese food -- Bacalhau con natas, lamb shank, paella, sardines, etc. -- everything fresh, tender, and delicious. Very reasonably priced, excellent service, and the owner and staff are very warm, friendly and attentive. The owner gives a damn about his place and about your experience and it shows. Try this spot...Youll love it!

The food was delicious and the quantities very reasonable! Some plates prices are higher than average! It s a beautiful little restaurant and we will definitely go back there!!

I didnt know about this restaurant which I really liked. In addition to the humor of Thierry, our server, the food was delicious. Well done.

Didn t find food to be very authentic. Cod cake and grilled sardine were ok. Ordered Portuguese beef and mushroom. Over salty. Vegetables seemed to come from a frozen bag (not fresh) 2 green beans had to be put away as bad on one end. Fries were ok. The patiss de nata was good!.

I asked for a bitoque, the steak was burnt. The service is not attentive, The space is too dark. Its expensive and I dont recommend it.

Good portuguese food at reasonable prices.

5 star service from the waitress Alysson My wife and I really liked the restaurant

Great food that was fresh and tasty!

Thank you portugalos for the feast . The food was really good. Excellent Food

Top shelf. Owner is great. In house peri peri sauce is to die for.

Such a great traditional Portuguese restauraunt. I had the bacalhau and my husband the lamb. Both were cooked to perfection. I had the traditional flan for dessert, and it was one of the best Ive tasted. The chocolate cake was a winner too. Service is friendly and attentive. Prices are very reasonable. There is parking a very short walk away and the ample parking spaces available at Les Promenades across the street. We visited with 2 small kids and a baby, and we found it a very famiky friendly place to dine. Definitely recommend this charming restauraunt!

An authentic Portuguese restaurant, with all the flavors of Europe. We will definitely return. When we entered there, we felt like we were entering a family restaurant. The kitchen is worth mentioning. All dishes are made from the freshest ingredients. An experience to do.

Extremely friendly owners and staff. Great customer service. The food is fantastic. You will not be disappointed with this restaurant. Highly recommended.

An excellent restaurant. Mr Alselmo, owner, and Thierry, waiter, congratulations both! Caldo verde, cod cake and impeccable dishes! I loved it and I highly recommend it

Very good service but personally I didnt like the food.. its more a personal taste

Excellent chicken and fries, piri piri sauce, sardines and very well priced cocktails. Love Portugese food, this place is a

Excellent food, excellent service. Highly

In my top 3 best restaurants in town. Food is really good, price is fair and service is the best.

We experience such poor quality food, service, and atmosphere. The owner was not friendly; he kept pushing us to order more food, and in the end, he overcharged us. That was unprofessional and so dishonest. We spent over $400, and most of the food was okay; the seafood didn t taste as fresh as supposed, and my son felt sick. We will never come back to dine there, and please beware of extra chargers.

Food was amazing, quality of service not the best.

Always great food at reasonable prices. Parking: Parking is awkward, on the south side of the building, rather than the lot right beside the restaurant. Food : 5/5 |

I would like to say that my last visit to you was very, very disappointing and that my rating was lower than 0 stars. What we received as a meal, I would never have dared to take that out of the kitchen. It was completely burned. We couldnt even eat this evening because it was disgusting. Indeed, after waiting a very long time, the plate had a terrible smell as soon as the waiter placed it on the table. The seafood boat smelled like burnt fish. When I opened the lobster claw, all that remained was a small, dried and stiff piece. Ouch. The worst part is that they charged half of the meal. It should have at least been free and with compensation, even like paying us for the bottle of wine. Etk It didnt deserve anything at all and we just took 2 rice bites and a tiny burnt scallop. Awful, I will never set foot in this place again without the pride of having dared to serve this and also charge half.

Best chicken

Must try the chicken. Its soo good. Service is good. Try not to go when its super busy. The wait time for food is over an hour but its worth it.

We just had dinner at portugalos, what a wonderful experience! Food was amazing, service was outstanding, will definitely be back when in the area.

Great discovery! The fish are very well prepared, the meats and sauces are exceptional. The table dhôte is really worth it, the desserts and starters (especially the mussels) are excellent.

Tried the seabass Was ok, not a whole lot of flavor or topping but was fresh and succulent Portion size of thick cut fries could be increased and steamed veggies could have been more diverse than just beans

One of the best lamb what have I eaten

Good menu excellent service

Service is good athmosphere is OK but the quality of the food is not good. if you compare with fastfood like mcdonalds it might be better but 2 steak for $60ish is over priced and underquality.

Parking: Aucun stationnement disponible. Jai utilisé le stationnement du centre dachat juste en face. Recommended dishes

Lovely restaurant with great service. There was a special menu for Valentines Day. Decent house made wine. We ordered medium rare beef and it came really done and dry. They replaced it right away with properly prepared one and were great! They care about the food they serve and to keep customers happy.

It tastes good. Ive been there a few times. The grilled fish is especially delicious.

Very delicious !! Feels like back home

Great food and atmosphere!

Go there with your eyes closed! Great family experience, tasty dishes. Nice trip to Portugal!

Cozy restaurant, friendly staff, and delicious food . Thank you

2nd time that we enter and leave without even taking a table...The bad smell of humidity takes us straight to the heart and seeing the windows sweating so much makes us understand that that is indeed the problem...It was on a Saturday, 5:30 p.m. and no customers... It didnt look good in any case....We also learned that it was for sale? Too bad because we went there in past years and this scent problem was not there... Good luck....

We especially enjoyed the efficient but not rushed service. Everything was prepared and presented well. The tables are placed comfortably apart so one can relax and enjoy the meal and the company at your table.

Excellent atmosphere, delicious dishes, unparalleled service. They even cooked up a tasty meal for my dietary needs.

My wife and I were searching for a Portuguese restaurant in the Ottawa/Gatineau area and found Portugalos. We were not disappointed. The food was fantastic - and reminded us of traditional Portuguese cooking. The owner served us and was very pleasant. He was able to speak English and Portuguese (as we do not speak French). We would highly recommend this place and we would absolutely return if we were to ever come back to Ottawa/Gatineau. Muito obrigado Portugalos.

Their daily specials are always a good choice. Impeccable food quality. Much appreciate the manager s wine recommendation.

Manuel, the owner, is an incredible person Food is always great Atmosphere is great Food : 5/5

Very selective

The food is excellent and the server was very friendly. He had a sense of humor and joked nicely with my 11 year old son. The fish and seafood were delicious.

The chicken was wonderful

Good food but tiny portions and overpriced.

Very very long service. I arrived at 1:15 p.m. and left at 4:30 p.m. just for soup and bitoque and coffee. In addition, for the coffee I was served 35% cream instead of 10% coffee cream. The gentleman (owner) took my order but no choice of asking how I prefer the steak, its the cook who decides and coffee cream is the only kind... as an answer.

Wow!!! The food is delicious. The portions are generous. The staff is really friendly. I ordered the combo for $27.90 and I loved it!

Pleasant service and full of humor. Excellent food like in Lisbon.

The sauces are delicious which enhances the dishes

Entered the restaurant and were greeted right away, offer to choose any table we like. A fresh linen table cloth was placed on the table. Our drinks were severed quickly and chilled to the perfect temp. We ordered several dishes Caldo Verde was very impressive so delicious. We had the chourizo sausage for an appetizer served in the little happy pig dish, with our soup. This is authentic Portuguese cuisine. Absolutely the best Peri Peri sauce I have ever tasted, FYI you can buy the sauce at the restaurant to take home. Being married to a Portuguese man, this food is just as good as home cooking only better because you don t have to make it or clean up after. Our experience was so amazing i only wished we lived closer to enjoy this restaurant on a routine basis. Thank you so very much for a wonderful evening. Obrigado

Summary: 1/5 One of the worst lunches i have had in all my years. The bread arrived cold and hard. The bread was frozen baguettes and we had to ask for new bread and the replacements were not fresh as best. Meal: 0 The steak was overcooked and the mash potatoes was a blend of betty crocker powdered garlic mash potatoes with some real potatoes. The second steak was cold and chewey. The vegetables were undercooked and one of the soups was burnt and oversalted. The food also took awhile to arrive. Benefit of the doubt would have been given if the restaurant was busy it was empty.however. Environment: 2/5 In terms of ambience, the same piano tracked down played for the entire time. Service: 3/5 The only saving grace was they offered a different dish to take home which was much better then the dine in. Conclusion: 1/5 A lot of time was wasted that I will never get back. At that point a fast food restaurant would have been much better. Abysmal food and ambiance.

Excellent food and service! Great food ! The owner is very nice and takes the time to talk to you. I enjoyed it and will be back!

Thierry was great as a server and the food was good. I recommend it.

Excellent food and good service. Recommended

Worth the trip. I will go back.

Tasty food and super friendly and fun staff.

A very good Portuguese restaurant. You have to go!

Great flavours and quite filling. The piri-piri is tasty and brings a lingering mild heat. The chourico has a bold flavour and follow up heat. Parking: Parking is shared with other shops.

Delicious chicken

Great find in Gatineau. Delicious chicken, amazing sauce!

The cuisine was excellent. The service was average. (I took a takeaway order) the atmosphere was not good the boss is too harsh with the employees and it made me uncomfortable to see him treat them like that.

Food and service was excellent.

Their chicken and piri-piri sauce are delicious. The servers are very friendly. Prices are good. We dine there every time we go to Gatineau/Ottawa.

Service is the best I have had, nice atmosphere and exelente food, one of the best portuguese restaurants in Canada that I haver been

The location is very accessible but reception and food was not good. Owner never came out to introduce or greet clients. Very poor customer experience! Waiter was pleasant but did not advised about food portion and recommended items to ensure was sufficient for our group. Food took long and itens were lukewarm and some such as fries tasted re-heated. The day we went towels on the table were festive but dirty/stains. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

First time but definitely not the last. Great place

Very good choices of fish, seafood, shellfish, piri piri chicken, steaks etc. excellent, impeccable waiter, I recommend it!

Good food, space and welcoming atmosphere.

Lamb leg and seafood risotto are also very suitable for Asian babies

Thank you Thierry

Very good. Impeccable service. Good value for money. I recommend the table dhôte.

Refined dining, excellent food. Very clean and cordial. I will try to eat here whenever I visit Gatineau.

Calamari was amazing, had the seabass, super tasty. Engaged server, nice place would go back

The service was extraordinary I even forgot my card inside and they brought it back to me

Had the table hôte of Bavette while my friend had the stuffed cod with salmon. Both were Amazing! The Bavette had two grilled shrimp on it that were delicious (need to try the grilled seafood next time) as was the appetizer of moules. Half-litre of White House wine - a bit sweet but still enjoyable. Service was very perfect. Wednesday evening is quiet. Great night to dine!

Best chicken

First experience at this restaurant and start to finish, outstanding, friendly service, excellent meals and very good portion of plates! We will definitely come back to this restaurant!

Good customer service and the food was

Great lunch! very delicious food. we shared a whole chicken between 3 people. Came with salad and fries. very recommended. Food

Friendly service, but really very ordinary food and smell of disinfectant in the dining room. We had the fish of the day and a plate of warm mixed meats, all served with soft fries. We probably should have just had chicken and not expected a real Portuguese restaurant.

Amazing experience! We really enjoyed the delicious food! The service was great.

Always excellent... Portuguese chicken

Love this place. Food is always on point. Great customer service.

A multilingual waiter, Thierry, with a great sense of humour , not pushy. A shy owner. Food excellent. Wine recommendation even better.. .Milagre Reserve Douro. Small and intimate place. Just perfect.

Nice small restaurant, food was great the price is very fair. We enjoyed the food

Great quality and portion!!! Nothing to say... The owner on the other hand, lacks serious professionalism by dropping flat pranks by denigrating the customers.... Even speaking to him very kindly to explain, nothing to do solid butcher...

Good chicken

Excellent restaurant. We get Combo #1 for our family of four and its perfect. Delicious and perfectly cooked chicken, really good fries too. Love that it comes with a salad and rolls, too. Very nice staff, quick, and very good price. Thank you!

Fast, delicious, inexpensive. Best portuguese resto in Gatineau!

Their food is amazing! Everything was just really good.

This place was amazing. Highly recommend the seafood lasagna or the lamb. The portions are perfect unless you love dessert :)

Excellent service and exceptional food. The owners are always present and go from table to table to talk to customers.

Very bad experience today yet I was very satisfied before the reasons: - Large horrible oily squid without taste - cod croquette: cold inside not very well defrosted very bad taste - chicken yet house specialty without dry taste inside lack of bland side salad sauce - we complained to the waitress who was very nice and the owner came to see us but instead of making a commercial gesture and showing empathy he was haughty saying that we shouldnt take the squid big but why so put them on your menu and also started to come up with bogus excuses I think he is not open to criticism - Also I thought he would make a commercial gesture but nothing at all given our levels of dissatisfaction I am very very disappointed I dont think I will come back one day

Delicious chicken and also the cod fritters were delish

perfect service, perfect food, perfect atmosphere, the best restaurant ever. 10/10

Great owner, amazing food, great prices. Definitely recommend!

We are a family of 4 went in on Sunday just before 5pm without reservation. There were no one there yet but we were under the impression that our table was probably reserved later so everything came really fast. With this I would like to give 4.7 instead of 5 stars. But other than that, all the dishes are 5 stars. We ordered 4 dishs from the table dhôtes menu. Starting from appetizers of sautéed chourico sausages, mussels, fish soup and bean soup. Our main dishes are 1/2 peri peri chicken, seabass, steak and lamb, desserts are pastel de nata, mille feuilles, pear poached in Porto with amazing crème fraîche, and crème au caramel. Even the simple black coffee is well made. Very reasonably priced and well prepared. Highly recommend!

The chicken is simply delicious. The sauce that comes with it is really good. I am always satisfied every time I go there.

Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service!

Very good.

Best Portuguese food ever, must come everytime I come to Ottawa!!!!

Excellent service, very good food, friendly people

A must try. Their chicken piripiri is great. One of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Our order got messed up by one of their staff, and we had to drive all the way back (almost 30min) to pick up our original order. The manager, who looked very professional, sincerely apologized for the mistake and asked to compensate us for the inconvenience. He asked us what we would like and offered dessert and their hot sauce. Excellent customer service! Now the food - best fries weve had in the Ottawa-Gatineau area and the most delicious chicken grilled to perfection and brushed when their home sauce. Fresh vegetables in their salad, makes me trust their food quality so much more. Great job, Portugalos team! Ill be back for more :)

I really loved this place. A varied menu for those who like fish this is the ideal place, of course there is something else on the menu.

Calm atmosphere...The food is distinguished by the flavor of green coriander, which they use in most of their dishes The restaurant is clean and the service is good

A very good eating experience at this restaurant located by shopping malls.

Well organized restaurant with amazing Portuguese food.

Picture and reality is different, in the picture sardine look so yummy, in reality is burn and taste just salt,come with 3 small fish served with the head,im not sure this is sardine,i never eat this type of sardine that have so much tiny bone, omg worst.. Potato no taste just boil potato,vegetables no taste, wont come back again to this restaurant.

We went for Dinner on sunday, the food was excellent, the service beyond my expectations. The owner recommended the cod fish (bacalhau) it was delicious.I had (bitoque) steak. We had a fantastic Time.... thanks for your kindness From Toronto

Nice Portuguese restaurant in Ottawa-Gatineau region.

Excellent!!!

We ordered assortment of different meat and sea bream. The food is very tasty. The owner is nice.

We loved our experience at Portugalos! The staff is very attentive! The meal, from starters to dessert, was delicious, very tasty! Looking forward to coming back to Gatineau to taste other dishes. I highly recommend it.

This is the place for seafood lovers for sure. One of my new places to go in Gatineau.

Piri-piri chicken!! Always excellent!

Super good and save room for the desserts which are delicious.

I now regret not trying out this restaurant earlier... A hidden gem. True, authentic, simple, delicious, Portuguese cuisine. Meats are perfectly grilled. The chicken is perfect. Portugalos joins ToBiko on my favorites list. Staff was slammed but smiled through it. I cant wait to go back.

As a Portuguese, I can say that this is hands down the best Portuguese restaurant in Ottawa/Gatineau!

Food was so delicious! We loved the chicken and rice, it has so much flavour. Hit the spot! The Portuguese tart was yummy too.

Awesome food and great service. Try the lamb shank!

This restaurant can be summed up in three words delicious,delicious,delicious!

Not at all happy with this place, I have no words to describe the experience that I had at this place, I am ashamed of the fact they call this a Portuguese food restaurant!

The restaurant has a very intimate atmosphere, impeccable service, simply delicious dishes. My arms drop, it s so good! I recommend 100% and I will come back to taste other delights! Thank you for this wonderful moment!

Dietary restrictions: Very good for health Parking: Need parking

Great little place. More on the gourmet side of things with cheap prices... highly recommend!

Very good service

The food is good, but there is a bit of discrimination towards some race of people. Please improve.

Great dinner. Portions were reasonable. Thierry provided friendly, courteous service with a touch of humor. Priced reasonably given the quality of the meal Parking: Parking a bit confusing for first-timers.

Great to see quality Portuguese chicken in town.

The food, the service was excellent tonight. Good job guys.

Excellent food a little $$$, but good quality !

Food was amazing, fried calamari was done perfectly, service was fantastic, the server was lovely and hospitable-Thierry (hope I spelled that right) had good humour and attitude. Very happy, will recommend, will return.

Very professional service. The meat was fresh and the fries were the best Ive tasted!

Excellent service and very fast!! It was the owner who welcomed us and suggested a very good wine!! The lamb shank was sublime and cooked perfectly! Warm atmosphere and reasonable prices! A+

Present owners and attentive staff - Authentic dishes and impeccable food quality...I will go back!

Wonderful. Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food

Very good! Exceptional service

Exceptionally good, I am definitely going back to try the whole menu, agréablement surprise, un service impeccable. Je recommande fortement.

Very good restaurant! Affordable prices for dinner. I have a gluten allergy and I ate very well, we also had very good service.

Love it the service and food was delicious
