I went for the first time yesterday, I am not sure if they are always spicy, but it was not a pleasant surprise. I wish they asked me if I wanted spicy sauce on my chicken. If/when we go back, I will definitely ask no sauce as me and my 4 year old cannot endure it.

The restaurants atmosphere is very clean, and has a variety of decorative items and has nice comfortable seating to eat. The food is very delicious and has original Portuguese seasoning, it takes me back to Portugal. The staff team is very nice , welcoming and friendly ! The food didn’t take long to come aswell. I totally recommend!

They have the best poutine I’ve ever had. Every time I go there, I tell myself I’ll try something else, but I always end up with a piri-piri chicken poutine!

We have always enjoyed the food at Barcelos de Ste-Julie, particularly the poutines. Unfortunately, they changed the menu recently and the large poutine formats were removed, leaving only the individual formats, which are also more expensive than before. Its a disappointment for us, we might go there less often because of that because the large formats were perfect for two people :( Parking: Easy parking.

Absolutely disappointed with our experience at Barcellos. Mom has visited Portugal many times on trips and she asks me if I will take her to this Portuguese restaurant near her home: So we arrive at a restaurant with few customers, not busy and we start with shrimp pancakes; disgusting with a small canned shrimp in each patty $12 for 6 disgusting little patties. Then our dishes mom says that the chicken is good but not hot and the sauce is not edible. My meat is lukewarm, the hottest on the plate are the lukewarm fries and the meat is almost as cold as my salad with a mystery sauce. A BIG ZERO! Summed up: dont go here, the good people come back are probably friends and family. Or if youre really, like -really high, then maybe youll imagine it being edible. EDIT AFTER RESPONSE: And you respond with lies. I never did your sad cooking. I did the THUMBS DOWN and if they wanted to discuss it they could have asked why. Mom is 90 years old, she doesnt like discussions; so I said nothing at the time but we must warn the population of your sad service, and there of your false proposals. I would never in my life have admitted that it was not edible, especially in front of my mother. And as for Portuguese restaurants, Im going to stick with the one thats really good on St-Laurent in Montreal. You are pitiful with your accusations, it will never improve your quality.

30% increase in their prices supposedly due to covid which means everything has increased! 30% is exaggerated! The family meal cost $31 with taxes and now it costs $45! Very disappointed with the services since our last 2 visits. Before we ordered almost every week but now it will be on rare occasions. Too expensive for chicken which often has no sauces or which customer service leaves something to be desired..

December 23, 2022

We have been loyal customers since they opened, but since last night this has changed. We relied on their online menu for the price of family combo #2 at $55, which was very reasonable, but once ordered by phone and arrived on site, the bill was $76 before taxes. I also informed the cashier of the error on the invoice and she informed me that the online menu prices are no longer valid. This is false advertising or at least a nice catch.

Usually it s good at Barcelos! But, last Friday I ordered using the DoorDash platform. From my first bite, it was disappointing. Old fries reheated in my Barcelos poutine . Everything else was good, sausage, chicken, cheese, sauce . But the fries were a disappointment. Following Barcelos answer: Honestly, very disappointed with Barcelos answer (2 stars reduced to one). I dont know what happened, but we can track the delivery on Doordash... Its not Doordash thats at fault. Everything was very hot when it arrived. If it helps the merchant to rectify, we ordered very early in the evening which could be before the Friday rush. Ultimately, ordering fries for delivery, I can understand that the quality is not great. But, this time, for the fries to taste like that, it was clear to us that they were old fries (hard and dry, despite the sauce). Next time a 5 star for Barcelos That suggests a next time Very disappointed. Have a nice day Barcelos!

December 23, 2022

First time in this restaurant. We had a mont st hilaire poutine. $57 for 2 Poutine and 6 natas. Very disappointed, little chicken and cheese and tastes mediocre. Very spicy for my taste. The natas are soft probably defrosted. Damage

Phew, that s spicy! Im torn, it was so spicy that it no longer tasted like chicken :-(. I also ordered a salad, also super spicy chicken and to finish it all off, no vinaigrette (an oversight no doubt, but in winter we dont go back to the restaurant for that). So much sauce or hot oil that it spilled in the bag, not pleasant. We should be offered to have the sauce on the side.

Thank you Barcelos for coming to our place and yours at the same time...!! Theres nothing that will beat the cooking of your chicken, the taste, the smells and everything else...!! My clients (Canada Post) were Romados on Rachel Street and Coco Rico and others obviously. Barcelos have kept the same culture and way of doing wow.....!! Romados on Rachel the grandmother got angry when I didnt have my chicken sandwich...!! And Coco Rico the same thing and their turkey was stupid....!! This is out of context but their white port with ice cream is crazy, crazy, crazy

Really happy to have discovered the place. The chicken is very tasty, it is a delight and heaven for the taste buds. The service is courteous and fast. The place is really very clean. The front door is a little hard to open because of the hoods in the kitchen but I imagine it takes a good pull to get all the smoke out. The piri Pire sauce is excellent and their poutine or chicken is exquisite.

I came as far as Sainte-Julie, because it is closer to the house than the one in Chambly (the one in Chambly provides good service). This one really didnt give good service. I have no problem when I go to the one in Chambly. I asked to put the sauce on the chicken and extra sauce on the side. Then I noticed they didnt put the sauce on the chicken. I told the cook to put on the chicken. Something she refused. She said to take the one at the checkout which isnt enough for a whole chicken. So I asked a second time for the sauce on the chicken and that I can pay extra. She refused. I left with a little sauce which is not enough for a whole chicken. I expected more from a restaurant that has just opened. Very disappointed
