It may not be a fancy restaurant, but this rotisserie is the proof that fast food doesn't always mean crappy food. First, a line-up to a restaurant is, most of the time, a good indicator of the place. When you enter this little restaurant, on top of the good smell of the chicken cook on charcoal, you'll be welcome by a friendly, and enthusiast staff. I took a Chorizo sausage sandwich, with fries, and salad. Before going to the cashier to pay my due, I was intrigued by what looked like to be potatoes with some sort of dressing. One of the staff look at me, told me that I'll like these, and put some on my plate for free! All the food, from French fries, to these yummy potatoes, and my sausages were amazing, and really tasty. I was with 3 other friends who took different meals, and were also happy, and really impress with them. As a social media enthusiast, I'm always happy to see merchant having specials or offers for people that check-in. Not only they were giving free soft drink to people who do it on Facebook, they were actively promoting it to their customers. It was the first time I saw a place really use this strategy proactively! So at the end: - A fast, and friendly service; - A yummy, and really inexpensive meal; - A clean, and nice venue on Masson; - A really good surprise! Even if I'm not going in this neighborhood quite often, I'll go back to this restaurant for sure.

When we did, they had already given all the tables away. So we waited another 15, and got a 2 person table with an extra chair added in the middle of the restaurant walkway. Just a few minutes later, a 4 person table freed up so we asked if we could switch. The waiter said no sorry... however I think he spoke to his boss after who seemed to hesitantly make an exception... even though we had had a reservation... and still had to wait. I would definitely go back for the food. Interior is a bit cramped and not in the most charming way, so I think I would prefer to order it out to go.

I went here with my parents & wife and it was the first family dinner we had in years, so we wanted to go somewhere special. This was one of my top 5 meals ever. The grilled meat was astounding, especially my main course, the Veal Chop. It was perfectly seasoned, big portion (great!), cooked medium, juicy, salty, with simple yet bold flavor and served with tasty veggies and potatoes. It came with a kale soup which was delicious as well. It had a few slices of Chorizo, which were some of best bites of chorizo I've ever had (will probably get this next time!). We shared our food with each other so I got to taste everything. The fresh sea bass was divine-- cooked perfectly on the grill, tasty and indeed, very fresh. Grilled rack of lamb was super good, and came with a big portion. The scallops with pancetta or pork...unbelievable, came with only three but it was absolutely worth it. The Beautiful buttery sauce that came with it was fantastic! Dessert was delicious: passion fruit mousse!! Service was stellar and he even took a great family picture for us, and recommended the best main dish (grilled veal chop). I really can't wait to try the other dishes! Will try to come here as much as I can...thank you Aldea.

I ate two, but could not stomach the rest. Our server asked if I didn't like the clams, I politely and quietly explained why we didn't eat them.. But there was no response, just a shrug and no offer of a different dish. Then a different server came with the check. Interesting. Note: the place is small, super loud, and smoky (smoked and grilled meat smell). It's a neighborhood restaurant. A plus.

My wife, son (9) and I visit Longueuil about twice a year from where we currently live in New York…read morebecause my wife's relatives live here. After they yet again hosted us at one of their places, we took her cousin and the cousin's parents to Silvia Grill, seeing that it was highly recommended and a bit elevated. Montreal has many Portuguese restaurants specializing in rotisserie chicken that we would like to try. We chose this one because we are very accustomed to eating at Brazilian steakhouses. The menu at this Portuguese restaurant is similar to what we're used to so we felt comfortable recommending it; we also bet big on this place because my wife's aunt is an excellent cook, I mean a ridiculously good chef of all kinds of Peruvian foods in particular (my wife is Peruvian, I am a gringo of Italian/Sicilian extraction from New York). Our group ordered their national soup caldo verde, Caesar salad and a bottle of Spanish wine to start (reasonable and delicious). Caldo verde is a soup made of collard greens, potato and garnished with smoked Portuguese chorizo. This one was thinner in consistency than its Brazilian counterpart that we always order in New York, and it is a small serving in a big white plate. It has an earthy flavor of potato and fresh collards, and with just three delicious slices of chorizo it is light and fitting starter to a big meal. My son had the Caesar salad which they said was good. To me it looked over-engineered and a bit overdressed, and it looked to be a very small serving. We omitted the slices of crispy chorizo for his benefit and he liked it very much (at nine years old he has a thing for Caesar salad and salad in general). For entrees it was a whole different story. My wife and son split the special, a flank steak frites. I'm not a fan of flank steak but it was delicious. The French fries were perfect and the side of sauteed vegetables was great, too. I did notice, and this is all over Quebec province where we visit, that the size of the steak is (very) small by American standards so sharing this was not optimal since my son is a good eater. My wife's uncle and I ordered the grelhada mista, or mixed grill, consisting of a delicious quarter chicken (excellent spicy peri peri sauce on top!), a pork, a small serving of steak (flank I think) and their delicious smoked chorizo. The accompanying potatoes and sauteed vegetables were excellent, too. I have no comments on the size of this dish because it was filling. My wife's aunt and her daughter ordered one paella and it looked delicious. It had saffron rice, chorizo, chicken and seafood. They both raved about it and what meant a lot to us was that my wife's aunt was excitedly trying to identify all of the seasonings. My wife's cousin, in fact, said she would order a few of them next week for her two brothers who were not present, for takeaway to have at dinner. The desserts, too, were excellent. Our guests ordered blueberry cheesecake which they said was delicious (this appeared to be French-style cheesecake with blueberry compote). My wife had a caramel flan that was delicious (I sampled it), and I had the national dessert of pastéis de nata. These are vanilla custard tarts that are either served hot or made to order. I've had them before and these were stellar. Overall I highly recommend this place. Our server was great about everything -- he spoke English, French and some Portuguese -- including wine and food recommendations for the uninitiated. I've made it a point to report on some restaurants in Quebec because I've noticed that it's difficult for Americans to navigate that mess of badly presented Google Maps reviews. I'm glad I started with this place!

Come early and be ready to queue up for a while as there are only two cash registers and a few cooks. Service is quick and efficient. You get your own water and take back your tray. Ideal place for a quick weekday dinner.
