Piri Piri Grill in Toronto

Excellent service. Great atmosphere. Amazing food and Portguese wine selections. Food : 5/5

Great atmosphere. Next time Ill try the chicken. Pass on the pizza.

The food was absolutely wonderful. The location and atmosphere amazing.

Clasic grilled fish and seafood stew. Hearty meal. You cannot go wrong.

The food was great, the restaurant is clean and the servers are pleasant and very knowledgeable, also they have free parking in the back

Had the saafood resotto. It was OK... Service was great and nice ambiance.

The food was a little slow but the food is Soo delicious its worth the wait. We had 5 toddlers with us and did not feel unwanted. The wait staff was very good to us and was very attentive. Kid-friendliness: Needed 3 high chairs and they were able to round them up very fast.

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.

Joanna was our amazing server who had excellent recommendations and advice on the menu. The food was great and the service was even better. We definitely plan to come back!

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.

Good consistent food- roast chicken or any of the sea food dishes. Plenty of free parking. This is a great bonus as we have to drive to get there. We have gone there for dinner multiple times. Parking: Free parking on two lots.

Amazing service and great people.

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.

Amazing service and atmosphere. Oh, and the desserts... incredible!

Food was delicious. Portions are large! You can do some sharing!

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.

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.

Food was delicious

Great place for Portuguese dinning..

Food was okay. We waited almost 2 hours to get our food. The place is severely understaffed. And the staff is kinda rude. Fries were soggy, and in general nothing special.

Delicious food! Its a wonderful place to go with your loved one to enjoy a great wine and have an amazing dinner together.

Awesome Portuguese Restaurant. Went there for a birthday and got both the Summerlisious and Regular Menus. Great Staff top notch service. Brought the kids and they enjoyed the food as well. Good size portions, wont leave you feeling hungry with an appetizer and dessert.

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!

Great place and good service. The food was amazing, fresh and very well cooked. Abir was awesome and very professional.

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

Nice atmosphere.. Good food.. Its worth visiting.

Great space for events. The atmosphere is cozy, food is good and the service is excellent.

Back up server was great,lead had a little ego

Nice place, food was awful. Caldo Verde was made with flour most definitely NOT potatoes. Super salty food. Great service, kind of expensive for what it is. Food

I would have given this a five out of five because their food is amazing. Service is outstanding. I was only a little disappointed because I made a request when I made the reservations as it was the 92nd birthday and that request was not fulfilled.

Food was great. Great place with a lovely atmosphere. Prices were also as expected given the location and the food that we had. Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to gluten free restriction.

Very cool restaurant

Amazing food! New fav place to go

Food is very good very friendly

Amazing food, wonderful ambiance and friendly staff.

Love the service and food. An a1 establishment

Do yourself a favour and get the Bifana! Make sure you get onions!

Good food

Amazing food, service a bit slow, but good. They put birthday cake on the house.

This was the worst take out we ever had in the city. Extremely oily. Frozen mushy carrots and the beef was chewy and oily. Felt sick the next day.

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 girl who does take out is amazing. Every time I visit I get consistent amazing customer service. The food is also another reason why I always attend. Takeout is quick and delicious! Always a local fav.

Great atmosphere and ambiance. The pizza was delicious. Crispy and flavourful. Thick crust which I like. The grilled sausage appetizer was great too.

Had dinner with six family members for dinner. Ordered 3 sirloin steak dinners. Waiter brought back 3 tenderloins at same price. Was disappointed and did not want to cause a scene. Found bill with included tip to be high.

The food is excellent thanks to the chef at the front Service is poor Take out is also a waiting game Food : 4/5

Amazing food very friendly owner and staff a true pleasure

Cant go wrong with this deliciously tender and well-seasoned chicken. Quickly becoming my lunch staple. Friendly & attentive staff too.

This is a nice place, I have been here like 3 or 4 years ago, the food still good, and waiters and waitresses are nice, octopus and calamari super tender, piri piri sauce is my favourite.

Family restaurant with traditional Portuguese food . They are very good with big groups , I already went 3 times with groups of 16 / 20 people and we were all well served . The owner is amazing super caring and kind . A little update: was there today with the family and once again everything was amazing. Since the renovation their Menu got a little smaller but everything is extraordinary. The servers were all super friendly .

I ordered half Peri Peri chicken to go and i will say 10 times better then Nandos. The chicken was moist and sauce was amazing and love those potatoes yummy will order again anytime.

Great place for some delicious Portuguese food.

went in on a quiet sunday afternoon the staff were great especially our server! he made us speciality cocktails at the bar that were too cute and was very attentive. also plus the food was amazing!! the portions were really big we had the daily soup bread and olives for apps not pictured but omds it was perfect. for lunc and dessert the chef didn t miss either. the aesthetic is very clean cut matches the presentation of the food too! amazing!

Lamb chops were undercooked. Had to send them back. They came back perfect. Pork chop was a bit dry/overcooked. Steak was a bit tough and under done for medium rare. Rice was a bit bland. Chicken piri piri is hands down their best dish.

Parking: Parking is a bit odd depending on time for dinner , lots of factory buildings about whereby using their spots with a little apprehension but it all works out Food

Very good food with an excellent service and friendly staff!

The chicken was very undercooked, and they forgot about our order that we ordered a week in advance

Excellent experience, very friendly waiters, delicious food, drinks too, in general everything was very good.

i actually couldn t believe how mediocre the food was for price point. i eat out often in toronto and am definitely never going here again! i am not sure why so many people are giving high ratings. maybe they re friends of the owners or don t go out much? i also wish i had read through reviews before going because same thing happened to me as happened to other people who complained i was brought open bottles of $8 mineral water without being asked if i wanted it. i only realized it was charged when i received my bill!

Disappointed.

Absolutely love comming here this is our familys favorite restaurant. Food is amazing,price is very reasonable, and my favorite part is the staff who are all so kind and patient. We had our kids baptism party here and was extremely pleased with the customer service from all staff but especially manager who made sure everything was perfect!

Amazing staff, service, and food. Always a treat to eat there

I go to Toronto once a year for work and when my boss asks where I want to go to dinner I always want to come here. The owner is awesome and the food is spectacular. You have to get the sausage appetizer and a bottle of piri piri sauce.

My friend and I came here for dinner for the first time and we were very happy with our experience! The piri piri chicken, which our waiter told us is a 20+ year old original recipe, was delicious, and the portion size was quite good. We also thought the service was great and will definitely plan to come back again!

We went for a new year s eve dinner with our friends at Piri Piri Grill and loved the experience there. Our server was great and helped us with the wine selection. We had a lot of food which was delicious. The grilled octopus was the star of the show followed closed by the grilled seabass and seabream. Pizza was deliciously cheesy. Definitely highly recommend this place.

Clean nice and very quiet.

Traditional Portuguese spot, the chorizo and Piri-Piri chicken were delicious, we were a large group, and they were very accommodating. Will return.

I must tell you. Joe and I very much enjoyed our dinner there. Staff professional and very respectful. Food was really good and fresh. Ambiance was cozy and very pleasant. A must 5 star in my opinion. Thank you, Tiago

Excellent service grilled seabass was cooked perfectly and the Chicken was delicious!

Not going back lol asked for a bifana, got a loaded fat sandwich with a very broken apart bun...before the soggyness kicked in

Ah-ma-zing! Fine dining in a casual environment, lively, kid-friendly and food is great in both quality ingredients and prep. SUPER recomended. Food : 5/5

Great food, healthy, very tasty, great customer service.

Fantastic service and fair pricing. I really enjoyed the soup of the day.

Had a wonderful dinner for valentines day.

Best chicken place in the city

That is the definition of a great dining experience. From the minute I stepped inside the restaurant, the food, the customer service, the prices everything was just the right amount. I recommend this place to everyone especially sea food lovers.

Amazing food; some of the best service I have had in the city post-covid; very reasonable for the food quality, taste and atmosphere

Everything we order tasted amazing service and staff were amazing love coming here

Delicious carry out chicken, it was a crowd pleaser, affordable, they re open late, and ready quickly.

Piri Piri grill offers creative menu along with a great wine selection. Im not a shrimp guy but the Piri Piri shrimp is a must. Service and attention to customers surpasses nowhere Ive been

It was cold outside and I needed a place to warm up, the owner of the store let me come sit inside without me even asking and helped me get home. I was very touched by his kindness that I ended up buying dessert there as my thanks even though he insisted that I didn t need to. And I gotta say The dessert alone was 5/5

This place never ages, gets bored or out of touch. The food is always great, tasty and nicely put together. Very fine dining with very moderate prices..

Loved this place!

Great Portuguese food! Came with my family for Easter dinner, lots of table space, good ambiance and nice staff. The fish was very fresh and cooked well.

Very nice menu, a succulent meal in a very beautiful restaurant. The manager is really very nice. We loved our stay! We recommend +++ Kid-friendliness: My daughter had a very nice plate of dough, which must have been very good! It was served first and everything was perfect!

Got the Portuguese chicken with rice and potatoes. Food 6/10. Not bad, but definitely have had better. Service 3/10. They definitely need customer service training . No one was rude but no one was the least bit welcoming. Dietary restrictions accommodated Not sure

The octopus and shrimp pizza and steak were delicious!

One of the best restaurants for Seafood I know (I haven t tried other dishes because their Dourada/ Robalo fish dishes are too good).

It wasnt what I expected its more fancy which make the place expensive and didnt eat enough for the price I paid I wont come back

I had a birthday party here and everything was fantastic. The food, the location and most importantly the staff. We will definitely be back

Top quality Portuguese food.

By far, the best Bife à Casa I ve had in Toronto! No words to describe how amazing that was. Although a bit pricey, on a special occasion every once in a while it s definitely worth every penny!

The best Chicken ever!

the waiter who served us was very friendly, guided us through the menu. And we tasted a delicious seafood dish. unfortunately I dont remember his name, but it was on a Sunday morning. The food is so delicious

Thr food was amazing, the server was so patient and attentive. Really loved it here! Food

Nice ambiance food was very flavorful and excellent service. Very nice patio indoor and outdoor dining Food

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!

Great food, nice service. Had some seafood and meat options and they were all pretty impressive. The only draw back was the amount of fruit flies. They were Ll over the restaurant and made our dining experience less optimal. They need to control this. Other than that, all good.

It was aight. Food was pretty oily... decent taste. The sardines were great actually. Ive just had better portugese chicken n potatoes elsewhere

Very nice restaurant,good food,

Excellent experience! Service is HIGH END and prices are affordable and the cuisine is delishhhhh Great patio! Parking: Easy parking right behind the restaurant!

They close the kitchen much earlier than the restaurant. I arrived more than one hour before the they close and they have refuse to have me. Disappointed.

Excellent service, Delicious food, friendly staff

Very nice quite place. Very nice park and very good quality food.

Place is the absolute best. From service to the apps and mains. Thank you all!

Great place and reasonable prices

Amazing

Always on point! Thank you

Overpriced, over cooked seafood. Nice staff. Expected more from this place

We were visiting from out of town and looking for a place that could cater to our pescatarian diet and found Piri . Having never been here before we were not sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. The food was packed with flavor!!! I truly appreciate a restaurant that is not afraid to enlighten my taste buds. To say the least our meal was absolutely delicious . Whenever we are back in Toronto this is going to be one of our first stops!

Real portuguese cuisine with an Italian twist, amazing food, service was awsome, to go again for sure!

Great place ! The food was delicious well served, staff was wonderful , the restaurant is very clean and a great atmosphere !

This is a very nice restaurant it feels and looks like a pricy place but it actually has good prices. Piri-piri checkennis the best dish. I wish it had more Portuguese options on the menu

Some of the best Portuguese chicken in the city. Whenever were in the area we stop by and get some

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

Great restaurant food and service was amazing. I am giving 4 stars because its very pricy and you have to pay for water and bread.

Excellent food and good portions. Our server was very courteous and friendly. I couldn t help notice this restaurant is popular for birthdays lol!

Nice experience to have chicken from there

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!

10 of us had dinner, ordering different dishes, all plentiful and tasty. We were very satisfied.

Our go to place when we are downtown for piri piri chicken. Lamb was great and fish as well. Servers always on top of things and checks up on us once in a while for anything else we need.

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.

As usual we had a great time in a family oriented environment

Excellent service! Great food!

Excellent chicken, big portion sizes and affordable prices! Service and ambiance very nice as well.

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!

Sardine bruschetta is a MUST-try! Great for takeout too.

I have been going to this restaurant since they first opened. It is always fantastic. Great food and friendly staff.

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.

Probably the best Piripiri you will get in this part of town. Great patio experience and friendly prices. every meal was tasty and full of flavour. Food : 4/5

Great service, the manager is a great host.

Very nice semi casual restaurant. Food was fantastic . Best Dourada fish I have ever had.

Very good my husband and me we love this Restaurant

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

After excluding all surrounding restaurants we decided to have dinner here. It was a bday occasion and Piri Piri did not disappoint. Dinner was perfect and the service was great. I will surely be back. Thank you

The aesthetic of the grill is beautiful. Service was kind and direct, and the food was magnificent! It was presented beautifully and it tasted heavenly. Id go here at any chance. :)

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.

My favourite restaurant. I stop here every time I go to Toronto. The food is amazing.

best piri chicken Ive ever had!. staff was so friendly and accommodating

Large portions of quality food for a reasonable price! Ordered the piri piri burger and Piri Piri chicken. Lovely and attentive staff, with a warm atmosphere. Great for a date night, celebration, or treating yourself!

I grew up in the Algarve and have eaten Portuguese churrasco chicken a million times. In Toronto - this place makes some of the best Portuguese chicken around. Very authentic. Great food.

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.

Amazing food and service
