Very nice staff. Unfortunately, chicken was burned and very dry. Same with fries: burned, dry, not fresh and bitter 😕 Salad without any dressing.

By far the best chicken i've tasted in a long time other than my own. I 100% recommend this place if you like generous portions at a reasonable price!

Roasted chicken is the best in town. Prices are fair, and people are very kind. I keep coming regularly. The passion fruit soda is my favourite!

★★★★★

When I arrive I wasn't expecting that much. But the service, the food and the price gave be a pleasant surprise. The whole family loved it. Family place oriented, chicken is a blast and if you dare also the calamari... Grilled to perfection. A must in st hyacinth

OMG, possibly the best chicken I have ever eaten! And the price! My whole family (2 adults and 3 kids) ate for 42$! We had a whole chicken, fries, salad, drinks and dessert. Service is FAST. I barely had time to gather utensils and napkins that my order was at my table. I highly recommend this place.

What a way to immerse yourself in Portuguese cuisine! Cooking over embers brings an exquisite flavor to dishes, setting them apart from ordinary rotisserie chicken. The plates are well filled for a rather low price. In short, visit this restaurant if you have the chance, you wont regret it!

August 23, 2024

Unfortunately the chicken was burnt, very dry and tasteless. Already tasted it before they went over the heat and the chicken was juicy, flavorful and delicious. Nothing like what we were served this evening. Very disappointed, I will no longer return to this place.

The best Portuguese Montérégie & South Shore combined. The only downside is that at dinner you can wait a bit. In terms of atmosphere, its okay to good. Its a bit of a cafeteria

A wonderful discovery! I recommend 100% We were passing by and looking for a place for dinner. The reviews were good so we decided to try it. Wow! Just wow! The best grilled chicken weve eaten in Quebec! Everything is good! We ate a complete chicken meal with fries and salad, the portions are generous (large portion of fries and salad) and above all, the prices are very very fair! $29 for a complete chicken with fries and salad, $3.45 for a liter of soft drinks. Amazing! The meringues are delicious and huge for less than $1.50! The Portuguese tartlets (Pasteis de nata) are incredible too! In short, we will definitely return (we are from Trois-Rivières!) and you will not be disappointed! I would give more than 5 stars if it were possible!

I recently discovered this little Portuguese restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The chicken was seasoned perfectly which gave it an authentic flavor. Their spicy sandwich was a real explosion of flavors and matched my taste perfectly. I highly recommend this place to locals.

This very good little restaurant is practical: you pay before entering, and the service is extremely fast. The food there is excellent. I therefore recommend this small Portuguese restaurant to those who want to eat quickly while enjoying quality cuisine. I will definitely go back to try the other dishes. Just the smell of the restaurant is comforting and brings a ray of sunshine during the day.

I ordered a quarter of a chicken thigh, with fries and rice. When I got in the car, I looked in my dish and noticed that there were very few fries and endless rice. When I returned to politely explain the situation; a gentleman (the owner I think) insulted me downright and told me thats how it was. He did not try to satisfy the customer. Service 0. In addition, there is not even salt and he charged me $1 for a quarter of a lemon, without mentioning it to me.
