I ordered catering for 35 people from Bairradino for a birthday party. The service, the delivery, and — most importantly — the food was amazing. Highly recommended their catering for family events.

I stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a quick lunch spot, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, a warm and friendly staff member greeted me and patiently helped me navigate the menu. Everything looked delicious, but I ultimately chose the rice with chicken, a fresh corn salad, and a custard tart for dessert. The food was packed perfectly for takeout, and each bite was an absolute delight when I got home. The custard tart paired beautifully with a cup of coffee—a perfect finish to a great meal. I can’t wait to eat from here again! Highly recommend this spot for takeout or catering. Special thanks to the wonderful lady who served me; your kindness and service made my day!

I ordered from Bairradino Churrasqueira for a staff meeting, and the food was nothing short of amazing! The Portuguese flavors were spot-on—everything from the perfectly seasoned grilled chicken to the delicious sides was a hit with everyone. The portions were generous, and the quality was fantastic. It was the perfect choice for catering, and I’ll definitely be ordering from here again. If you’re looking for authentic Portuguese takeout that will impress any group, Bairradino Churrasqueira is the place to go! Rating: 5/5

Last year I ate at this restaurant a few times & enjoyed their cod dinner & their chicken. This year I went & was hoping to get their salmon or cod again. Neither were available so the only thing that looked appetizing was the lasagna. I ordered a large beef lasagna, which was supposed to come with 2 sides, according to their menu. I was only given 1 side option which I selected a salad. Their Italian dressing is very good. The lasagna is very different from what I'm used to. It was very greasy. I was surprised to find bell peppers in it. It had very LARGE slices of mushrooms which honestly could've been cut smaller. The staff didn't seem to be as friendly as last year. They stopped accepting MasterCard (debit & credit) along with American cash. I explained to her that I ate her last year multiple times & paid with this same MasterCard. She said that she could do it on another machine but there's a 20% or 27% fee. They do have a sign posted saying cash & debit cards only. It needs to be updated to Visa & CAD only!

Food is always very delicious, fresh and good quality with lots to choose from. Prices are also great. Can get a little hectic in there at peak times due to its popularity, but the employees work quickly. Don't forget to try their hot sauce!

Decided to go for Portuguese chicken and I was recommended by my good friend saying that this is the best in the city. Very passionate staff and friendly very good meal not to expensive worth the visit. I had the half chicken with rice and potatoes and I tried the shrimp and cod fish don't know what they're called but everything was great we definitely go back. Small dine in section looks like they focus more on the takeout

Amazing food! It’s been on my starred places to check out and I happened to be in the area and walked in without knowing. We ordered a large beef dish to share and it was very tasty and not overly salty. Sauce was great and good portions. Would love to come back to try the bacalau.

Their grilled chicken is delicious! So is their roasted potatoes. The atmosphere is very authentic and friendly. Smiling faces all around. My only comment is that when they are busy, they can be a little disorganized, causing some people to wait longer than other people who came later. Otherwise, I aim to try all of their food because it looks and smells great every time I go.

This was a great spot pre-pandemic to pickup ideally priced quality food, now you are paying $18 for a tiny rotisserie chicken that comes with nothing whatsoever, not even garlic sauce, a piece of bread, or any sides of any sort, which makes it very expensive and no longer worth buying.

Terrible customer service. I called a few day ahead to make a reservation and the day of they wouldnt honor it. I understand everyone gets busy but dont tell someone who has made a reservation that theyll have to wait in line. Whats the point of taking reservations Id you dont honor them? If you can honor reservations dont take them, dont tell me the hour Im picking up the food.

This restaurant used to be very good but I believe there are new ownership, and what they are serving is pathetic. It certainly doesnt reflect what good portuguese chicken is..Tons of potatoes and rice and 4 measly pieces of chicken, backs and a drumstick. Save your money.

This place is under new ownership/management. The chicken is bland and not as delicious as before. The new owners drove the prices up and it is so expensive and not worth what you get compared to previous owners. The last time we went in to get food there was flies absolutely everywhere, on the ceiling, on the walls, on the food. It was disgusting. When mentioned to one of the workers, she waved over the food and that was that. Absolutely disturbing. Cleanliness, food safety, taste and price completely ruined by the new owners. Such a shame as this place was a staple in the neighborhood and for our family for such a long time. We ve taken our business to Tavora on St. Clair. Edit: does freshness of products include flies to you people? quite laughable
