Really nice atmosphere with great service and amazing food. Everything was authentic and tasted perfect. We had the battered calamari, beet salad and sausage to start. Piri Piri chicken and octopus as the main. The vino verde wine was really good too. Portions are generous. And the waiter was Portuguese so was really knowledgeable about what to order!

I loved my first meal here at Piri Piri! The Portuguese chicken was so delicious as was the fries and salad that came with it. The breaded calamari rings were so tender too! I also loved that they had Somersby Cider because they use real apples. So refreshing. We were both so stuffed but we each ordered crème brulee each because we both they'd be small. But they were huge and so delicious! Foodgasm for sure! Plus the presentation was one of the best I've seen for a crème brulee. The ambiance was so warm and opulent. Since it was a sunny Saturday afternoon we ate on the patio. The service staff were so awesome and friendly which we really appreciated. We actually had three different servers check up on us. The restaurant is referred to as Casual Upscale Dining so I felt super pampered! But also felt underdressed in shorts and t-shirt. Thankfully I still thoroughly enjoyed the food and fantastic experience here. Definitely coming back!

This place is such a neighbourhood gem! The space is beautiful and immediately inviting. Staff were attentive and friendly. I was craving chicken alfredo from a favourite Charlottetown restaurant but Piri Piri's was so delicious, it is now on top. My boyfriend really enjoyed his grilled squid as well. Kudos to the incredible chef. Will definitely try desserts next time!

I had visited this restaurant before but it had been over a year. I decided today last minute to book a solo early dinner. The moment you enter you are greeted very warmly. They do not push bottled water, which is a plus. I had the Shrimp appetizer which could be a main dish for some people I know. The shrimp were cooked just right and the creamy piripiri sauce was mild but packed a punch of flavour. I did something I seldom do: dip bread in the sauce. It was that good! Then I had the grilled seabass which was served whole. It was perfectly grilled with a simple but perfect seasalt seasoning. There were roasted baby potatoes, sweet potato, broccoli, rapini and carrot. It was delicious and a huge dish! I then had my favourite portuguese dessert : molotof. Bsked meringue with a caramel drizzle and a sprinkle of cinnamon. With this glorious meal, I had a glass of Ponte da Barca Grande Escolha, a Vinho Verde and Loureiro blend, which agreed harmoniously with my food, and my conclusion was a glass of Caves de Murca tawny port. The prices are way cheaper than a similar meal downtown or in Yorkville. To me, Piri Piri is the best Portuguese restaurant in Toronto.

My first time there and was Not disappointed. From appetizers to entrée all was excellent. Our waitress allowed us plenty of time to relax and peruse the menu, answered all our questions and was pleasant. The wine list is abundant and Portuguese authentic. My only disappointment was that I had my heart set on their Cherry Cheesecake but they sold out as we finished licking up our meal. Still, the Terimisu and Panna Cotta filled the spot beautifully. I most certainly will be back because I have to enjoy more of their excellent cuisine.

Delicious food and great service! We passed by many times and we’re curious to try. They open earlier than most restaurants in the area and we went in to try for lunch. Loved the variety on the menu, we were able to order different things for everyone’s liking and the service was excellent!

I have walked by this restaurant for years and finally decided to visit. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting. The staff were very friendly. Our waiter was not only attentive but had wonderful recommendations. The food was top notch as well, best calamari I have ever had. I would definitely classify this restaurant as fine dining. I will for sure be making a return visit here.

The Piri Piri chicken gave me terrible food poisoning - since I ate it last night I ve had constant diarrhea and vomiting all day. I don t know how they can undercook or mess up their signature dish but it is really disappointing. I will certainly never eat here again and I recommend others avoid it as well. Ive heard from my friends that they ve also gotten food poisoning from this restaurant. Really disappointed.

I had my baby shower here back in August and had a great time. The food was really good and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The planning experience was smooth and I didn t feel stressed at all. The space is nice and renovated. The staff allowed us to decorate the space the night before which was really helpful. I would recommend hosting an event here or even going out for a delicious dinner.

Extremely poor experience here Ordered off of UberEats (Family Combo #2) which is $25 more than it is on the actual menu in the store Absolutely crazy. The ladies there did not seem interested in helping me out at all with this, and said that there is nothing we can do about it and this sometimes happens . Definitely will not be going back again, and the food isn t very good anyways.

Our family loves Piri Piri, the food and drinks are always fresh and very tasty! It s consistent with both its food and quality. Their white sangria is perfection and we are huge fans of the sardine bruschetta. However we recently visited and after being seated on their outdoor patio, we waited exactly 22 minutes before we got up and left. A few waiters passed by us and no one even acknowledged us. At least let us know it s been busy and someone will tend to us shortly. We notified the manager before we left of this, he was very apologetic. He was going to serve us personally but we were already on our way out. We love Piri Piri and hope to return again soon, but this experience was underwhelming.

★★★★
August 22, 2024

Great service, could be quicker. Food was average. Food did not amaze. Menu not very Portuguese. Soup was clumpy - calde verde more potato and pasty than a good soup base. Food was served warm not hot. Apps seemed over priced for quality and quantity. A handful of shrimp for $20 did not impress. I would not go back or make this a staple go to.

Weve drove past this place for years, and Im so glad we finally found a chance to sit down and try the food. Everything was made to perfection. We ordered calamari, fish and chips, piri piri chicken and their pesto pizza. The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions were great. The piri piri chicken was so soft and tender, and all the ingredients in the pesto pizza, was a symphony in my mouth. The staff was really tentative and sweet. They always checked on us to see if everything is to our liking. We will definitely have to return and try more dishes!

A Sunday night Piri Piri chicken craving led us to this place. The restaurant is family run which dishes out some good Portuguese food. We ordered the piri piri chicken and a mushroom risotto. The food tasted fresh and the service was great. Also refreshing to see the owner helping out their staff as it seemed busy for a Monday evening. We also tried their desserts which were very tasty and not overly sweet (just perfect). We ll be back again. Thank you for the good food and an awesome service. Vegetarian options: Salads, pizza and risotto Parking: The parking is at the back of the restaurant

The food was ok, honestly I just tried one dish and I went alone so I didn t have anyone else s dishes to go off of. The restaurant is beautiful my only regret was forgetting to bring cash so I had to tip through tap which is not ideal for me anyhow nice place. I had the steak. They do serve an amazing selection of alcohol but I went with water since I m not really a drinker

Food is good but the customer service and over the phone order taking is TRASH. just to make a simple order took 2 people after being on hold multiple times to get my order right. Then they STILL got the order wrong, Ruined my experience a bit. there the only resturant in the area with tasty food so once they mess your order thats it for the day. On a positive note. I have been to this resturant multiple times before there ambience is nice. but today just ended my experience. Its the little things.

Just spectacular. Enjoyed lunch indoors today and can t wait to come back to try the patio. Mushroom Risotto was perfect. Chicken Pesto Pizza equally delicious with a perfect crust. Adega Ponte da Barca Grande Escolha white wine recommended by our waitress was the perfect, crisp complement to our meals.

Horrible experience with the takeout. When I arrived to pick it up they had no clue where my order was. Somehow they finally found it but when returned home with the order and opened the package, I saw the soup I had ordered was missing. Really bad experience with the takeout. Don t think I ll ever dine in here or recommend this place to anyone I know.

The food is absolutely awful. I have been to this restaurant several times due to meetings set by a third party, not of my own choice after the first time. Each time, the food seemed to get worse than the previous time. It says grill in the name, but they dont serve grilled food. Their pasta (Alfrado pasta is the worst I have ever had in my life) it has more chunky onion than the actual pasta. Not to mention a half dead mint as garnish on top. They dont know how to cook seafood or Italian food at all, which is the majority of their menu. Again, their Italian food is absolutely the worst I have ever had. The peri peri chicken and the sauce leave a lot to be desired. I dont see the point of this restaurant or get their menu concept. The staff are however very nice!

Piri no longer offers quality Portuguese food, it is costly and the food is nothing special.

Great value for money Portuguese restaurant! Glad to find this place. They have a parking lot behind the restaurant. Even better. Cute patio and interior. Friendly staff. They had some fruit flies inside fyi. Their portions are huge yet the prices are very friendly. A sea beam in downtown Toronto can easily cost 50+ but it s reasonably priced here. Sardines were tiny bit overcooked but portion is huge. Octopus was great with the purée. Fish stew was for 2 and it was massive again. Very rich in flavour. Nice collection of Portuguese wine as well. I d definitely come back again!

Amazing restaurant! Had the octopus, it was cooked perfectly. Very tender and flavourful. Had the sardines for an appetizer and they were delicious. Restaurant was very clean and beautiful, service was the best! Would highly recommend coming here

Awesome go-to churrasco grillhouse thats been here before the local gentrification. Cant get enough of the hot sauce! The steak and egg was terrific and way better than my last steak at a known steak house (what a disaster that was:) On a side note Im no oenophile but the low priced house wine was excellent!

Cristiano our server was honestly a gem, I was here the week previously and I had drink that was amazing. I returned during the week for a drink and something tasted off, he corrected the drink. He is an amazing representation of what good service is, I will return solely because of our server Cristiano. Thanks again Parking: Many spots

Went for some food and ceasar drinks and was very satisfied overall with the service and food. When I returned for ceasars a second time, it wasnt the same and after expressing this to Cristiano, he went above and beyond to make our experience a good one and also complimented me with a piri piri sauce. This is what going the extra mile looks like and why people like me will return. Thank you again for your exceptional service!

Free Parking at the back. Staff (Vanessa) was really friendly and knowledgeable about the food visa a vis allergies. 6 of us at dinner on Thursday night and everyone ordered something different. The restaurant wasnt noisy or crowded. Wonderful night... definitely going back! Shout out to the Piri Piri chefs.....thank you.

Go to place to host events for family

I went 2 times recently for lunch at this place and I am Portuguese/Canadian, the first time the sardines I ordered were very dry or not a good taste, the service is overly good as I experience in other places with the waiter always interrupting my eating or conversation to ask if everything was OK, the second time my partner asked for water and the waiter brought a 1 liter glass bottle, and very intrusive again during my meal even thou the Cod fish was great, one place that was mainly a take out that is trying (too hard to go luxury) so the third time its not going to happen!

Great restaurant, I had a Ribeye steak, it was great, but could have more food for these plate. I didnt like the combination with popato chips, but the meat was very tender and flavourful. For appetizer we ordered a Sardine bruschetta and Moelas. Both were very good. The restaurant was very clean and the service was amazing. I highly recommend it for everyone.

My friend and I asked to have a shrimp risotto with fish and it was nicely seasoned, very good however they dont used arborio rice but the parboiled rice with a sauce ! I found it strange because even having everything ready to make a risotto it can take at least 20 minutes and in about 10 minutes the food came to the table, we even do not had chance to eat some bread served with a little sauce! Anyhow my point is: it was a fake risotto! For me this part was disappointed

Theres isnt much to say, great food, the waitress gave good recommendations on what to eat when asked, maybe good was a little slow to arrive, but they made sure everything came at the same time so it worked out. Vegetarian options: Great mushroom risotto

We went out for dinner tonight for 6 people I will say food is delicious ,quality was good. One of the steaks we ordered had little seasonings and the second steak was a bit salty. I will mention charging 3 dollars a plate for bread is a bit silly most restaurants provide for free. I would say pricing is bit overpriced but I understand inflation is a factor. I believe 3 star review for our experience is reasonable.

The food here is delicious. There portuguese chicken is usually my go to the skin on the chicken is always done perfectly! I ve been here a few times and mostly for family parties where we use their party room. I think we are usually around 30-40 people. They always host us really well and the service is fantastic. My only complaint is that party room can get a little loud and echoing. If they added some sound baffling it would be perfect. The party room is nothing fancy but has three long tables and a smaller table for cake or displays and it s fully enclosed. It also has a separate entrance.
