    Sardinahs dish. One of my favs.
    Patricia J.

    Service just wasn't good and put a damper on the evening. Food was mostly just ok. First of all, the restaurant was surprisingly empty on a Friday and there were two servers on the floor. Our server seemed distracted and overwhelmed even though there was barely anyone there. We often had to flag down the other waiter because ours just simply wasn't paying attention , took painfully long to bring water or bread and did not keep us in the loop about why the calamari was taking forever to come out. The entire night was an exercise in flagging him down. Very Frustrating. It got even worse when a family of about 8-10 did arrive and then another group of 5. Food finally comes.... My sardines were fine. I've had the dish before but for some reason they didn't leave as much of an impression as they did my first time. Maybe parts of it tasted a bit under-seasoned. Not sure 3/5. Potatoes were good. My friend had the suckling pig and it was so dry it was barely edible. Poor thing couldn't finish it (1/5). My other friend loved the bbq chicken but not a huge fan of the rice 4/5. The saving grace of the entire meal was probably the potatoes, fresh cheese appetizer with Peri peri sauce drizzled on top eaten with the soft white table bread and olives. Also, the fruit shakes are clearly syrup based which just makes them too sweet. They should just try to focus on seasonal drinks. I had a great time with friends but overall disappointed given I had recommended this spot.

    I give this restaurant a solid 4-star rating. My wife and I had a wonderful dinner on a warm October evening out on the patio. The food was good, even though my steak was undercooked. The server promptly took it back and they cooked it for some more. I tried Portuguese beer (Super Bock) for the first time and I have to say it was pretty good. Fried calamari was tasty and big. Everything about our dinner amounted to a positive experience. Our server was particularly attentive and friendly. We spent $84 after tips on a dinner for 2 with drinks and will be back in the future for sure.

    Salmon with potatoes
    Kevin F.

    Went on a Thursday for dinner with my friend and it was dead, thought there would have been more people. Food was good, ordered the salmon with potatoes. at first it smelled kind of funny (kind if like poo), but was pretty tender. Also was a bit oily. Food quantity vs price was great!

    I had taken my wife to Bairrada a few months ago because I had remembered the place as once having the best steak I had ever had. The old story goes that a friend of mine had been a vegetarian for about 3 or 4 years and decided he would go back to eating meat. His way of doing this was to take me to Bairrada and for him to eat Chicken, Pork, and Beef all in one meal. Way back in that day, I had the steak and home cut chips which, again at the time, was one of the best steaks and I had in a long time. As the opportunity presented itself for me to bring my wife here recently, I was dreaming of that steak experience. Unfortunately this time around, the steak was only just ok and everything else we ordered was just ok. I guess the charm of what this place once was has faded. Oh well, too bad.

    Maybe is me??I was really disappointed with the food I ordered at Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill. The bread was so cold, dry and rock solid hard!! I love bread.. I love carbs... but I really cannot eat those... BBQ Chicken was dried, flavourless..not even the tasty hot sauce can't bring life back to it.. I have better Portuguese chicken at some small takeout places!! Flaming Sausage though is cute, and make an excellent photo opps but just OK... We were ignored and never given the menu till I asked the waitress for one... after that the services did pick up. I am glad that other have better experience, but I don't think I will be back here to eat again!

    Wednesday evening a group of us attended an end of the summer patio party at Bairrada Churrasqueira, which serves Portuguese cuisine. We were greeted with pitchers of sangria. Yum! We were served a bit of everything ... suckling pig, Portuguese fresh cheese, calamari, Flaming sausage, tomatoes and cucumbers, shrimp, rice, sardines, BBQed chicken and potatoes, steak and egg and Heavenly Creame. They have a really awesome patio! It was a fun night and great to try so many Portuguese dishes!

    appetizer platter
    Claudia Y.

    Came here around 8pm on a sunday night and waited about 15 minutes for a table, however it was a table by the door and the cold draft comes in every time the door opens and its cold and unpleasant. Yes, service is quite slow here, they seem to forget about you for a while after you put the menus down. The food is hit or miss here. The appetizer platter had a good variety and a large serving for the price, the grilled calamari was tender, the cheese was a large slab and a big pile of roasted red peppers, every thing felt kind of cold though (but it could have been the draft) The chicken was mediocre at best, it was on the dry side. The little roasted potatoes were good though. Their tiger shrimp were great, the shrimp were huge and the sauce was rich, buttery and had lots of seafood flavour and it came out hot, the portion was really good for the price. The sea bass was also grilled great and was not dry at all. but the vegetables were overcooked and a bit mushy. Their egg tarts are also ok, didn't feel the freshest but it was fine and I love all egg tarts so can't complain. The service did get better at the end of the night when there was less people. The place was busy and lots of large tables of families. Overall this place is ok, great for families and a good deal for the price but nothing extraordinary.

    Prime Rib steak

    One of my favourite Portuguese restaurants in the city. Portions are massive here and priced very well. I was very impressed with the size of the prime rib steak. My girlfriend got the quarter chicken dinner and she loved it. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

    Portuguese Chicken!
    Evelyn A.

    A good buddy recommended checking out this place, and hot damn I owe him a drink. What a find! This is among the best Portuguese BBQ chicken I have ever had, and I've never said no to greasy poultry. This isn't really greasy in the gross KFC way, but in the mouth-watering juicy way. For $10 you get a whole bird and they cut it up for you and sauce it up. For sides we got the salad, which was meh, and the fries which are obviously frozen... but who cares?! THE CHICKEN! When you first enter this place, you think it's just a small diner-like spot, but keep walking through to their massive (and I mean MASSIVE) back patio. A scenic outdoor space with fountains, a pig spit and a huge tree providing lots of shade. What a gorgeous patio. I'm talking wedding-worthy. So nice. Check this place out, Yelpers! GOTTA KNOW: What is that red tomato hot sauce that they serve at Portuguese restaurants? I keep forgetting to ask. Need to find a grocer that sells it.

    Seafood platter
    Jennifer M.

    This place is amazing. You cannot get better atmosphere in the summer. We revisited, with a couple, an old friend from high school and a sibling. There was no need to worry about the time that would be had by all. We were warmly welcomed by our server (he recognized us via our reservations) and were instantly treated like family. Before the food even arrived we were making friends with the Portuguese family beside us. Friday evening the patio was PACKED but they had added a couple more tables and some lovely plant-life. Group of six, we ordered a full chicken with potatoes (and piri piri), the seafood platter ($65) which on the menu, says it feeds 2. It is enormous. We also ordered (long weekend: wanted to party) FOUR pitchers of beer and TWO pitchers of sangria over the course of the evening. . Extra potatoes, the free bread. In the end, we were all basically hammered, completely well fed, loving our life, with a phone number for a free stay in Portugal any time we like (not kidding) and covered in Piri Piri sauce. Two and a half hours of catching up on the patio set us back $200 or $40 each once tax and tip was considered. Completely my go-to when I want to have a great evening in a warm atmosphere with friends, this last visit just elevated to five stars. Love it.

    Frango no Churrasco
    Radford T.

    I went to Bairrada Churrasqueira to try some Portuguese food during my trip to Toronto. I'm pretty sure the only Portuguese food I've tried at that point was the bastardised version in Macao or Macanese restaurants where the dishes are made for Chinese taste buds, so I was curious what real Portuguese food is like. My sister and I were staying with my aunt in the suburbs but we didn't have anything planned that day anyway so my sister and I, and my cousins and aunt all made the trek to the city just to try this restaurant. All in all it was worth the trip just because none of us have had Portuguese food before. But in my opinion the food, or at least what I ordered, wasn't particularly memorable. I ordered the Frango no Churrasco, which is a roasted chicken dish. The chicken was served with long grain rice, sauteed potato balls, and olives. Olive is one of the few things I generally don't like to eat, so I skipped that. Everything was pretty average and nothing distinctive. The food wasn't bad, but it also doesn't taste any different from many other roasted chicken dishes I've had. I probably should have ordered seafood instead, knowing that Portugal is bordered by so much water. But the menu stated that the Frango no Churrasco is the restaurant's specialty so it caught my eye.

They also were nice enough to give me one slice of bacon, which I pretty much inhaled. We then ordered the lobster spaghetti and the prime rib, which was as flavorful as any prime rib I've had without the bone. Our server recommended horseradish (a $4 extra charge, which seems petty). I don't think necessary as the meat was so flavorful. The spaghetti was delicious, but so creamy and rich, it was hard to finish. I'd recommend sharing it. Had the kale gratin as a side, which was perfect. Finished off with the chocolate cake which was really good!. We will definitely return!

Creamy, spicy, perfectly cooked pasta and one of those dishes where you keep going back for another bite even when you're already full. Drinks were solid too. The Pornstar Martini and the Hot & Bothered were both great and fit the vibe of the place. The space feels polished but still lively, especially around the bar.

The evening in January brought some fluffy lazy snow dropping out of the sky which added to the drama of the view and the added context for our meal extravaganza that was coming for us. Check out my photos for the menu items that we tried, all ordered a la carte and from the menu for January 2026 that I have also included in my review. When each dish arrives, the server describes what it is which is nice. But with a larger table, a typical noisy din on a busy Saturday evening, often diners can't hear or understand what was said. Some of us would appreciate if the servers would slow down, and make sure we heard more clearly what we were in store for with each amazing dish. Otherwise, our service was great! The asians at the table appreciated the tea served in the typical familiar glass teapots when I asked what they wanted to drink, knowing that they were not into beer or cocktails like westerners, or even the other typical non-alcoholic beverages available. That helped make them happy with hanging out for an extended time in the fine dining tradition. We did have to ask for the servers to keep the tea flowing to our table, since that is part of the idea and the shared experience that needed inclusivity. The server explained that the menu was a mediterranean sharing menu, so we felt like we were a family. The free flowing tea dove-tailed nicely with that theme. It was a bit of a learning experience for the Abrielle staff to see that hey, we needed more tea cups and more tea for everyone!! Not just the teetotallers in the group, us beer drinkers want to be included too : ) When we turned down the dessert options it was a nice VIP touch that they brought out a little bite of a matcha mousse sweet at the end which was super tasty!
