    tables and chairs outside a restaurant
    Gino B.

    After our meeting, we were looking for a Neighborhood meat bbq to stave off the traffic rush hour and ended up at Galo, where they flame grill everything Portuguese style, in the Town of Mount Royal neighborhood (aka TMR). The patio was inviting and ready for business with the white tables, red chairs, placemats and menus. Overall, the Restaurant was extremely clean and the owner, also happened to be our waiter. He was so proud of his menu, that he was walking us through the bbq options and his favourites. The restaurant started to get very busy as we sat and service was super fast and very friendly. We ordered two appetizers: the chargrilled sardines and the ultra-tender broiled calamari which were fantastic and were a great start to the meat bbq fest to come. Next, came our dishes: flame grilled half chicken with rice and my three meat combo which included a spicy sausage, pork filet and a quarter chicken; the whole plate was phenomenal and tasted amazing!!!! The meal came with a bowl Of back to basics salad: tomatoes, olives, red onions, red and green peppers, green and black olives, mint, romaine lettuce, with lemon, oil and vinegar tossed in; hmmmmmm! I dipped the freshly baked Portuguese buns at the bottom of the bowl To mop up the sauce, Italian style, that's how good it was... Finishing the meal with rice pudding and the traditional flame grilled Portuguese egg tart was #FoodPorn on two tiny plates! Full but not bloated, we will definitely return. And now that the traffic rush hour is over, we can get back on the highway...What a nice detour this was, mangia, mangia!!!

    Portuguese chicken, fries, bread, and salad; plus their amazing spicy piri piri sauce makes a meal for 4 people really easy and filling. For take-out or delivery the price is $33 plus tax (+ tip) which is a steal. You get a whole chicken, cut up and grilled, basted with an oily, slightly spicy concoction, a large salad and fries, plus 4 of the most delicious Portuguese buns (baked daily by a great bakery). The meat was still juicy, and the fries were the slightly soft, dark brown, style that Montrealers seem to love. I didn't think of it at the time, but a little squeeze of lemon over the chicken might even kick it up an additional notch. There was nary a fry or lettuce leaf left when we were done eating, a sign of a quality meal.

    Cozy and great food

    Great service and food. Not to be missed. Authentic, neighborhood restaurant with an owner that really cares about his clients.

    After not having a bad meal in Montreal during our week long stay, we cancelled our reservation at…read morea top French place in the Old Town and decided to have something more fun. Portuguese food fit the bill and Douro had exactly the menu we were looking for with sardines, croquettes, caldo verde, and tons of fish and seafood choices. As fitting our last meal in Montreal, Restaurant Douro was the best meal and friendliest service we had in Montreal during our stay and we highly recommend it. We started with a salad, caldo verde (both included with our mains), two perfectly-sized bacalao croquettes, and six garlic shrimp. We had a choice of three daily fish special: Icelandic cod, branzino, and Arctic char. My wife had the char and I had the cod, both elegantly and perfectly prepared. The Portuguese wine list is extensive and I was even recommended a new favorite! It's near Little Italy and out of the way from the usual tourist routes. While you could call it a neighborhood gem, it's a big step up from that. Located a short, easy walk from the Beaubien metro station, it's perfect for the special occasion, quiet business meal, date night, or for just excellent Portugese seafood and friendly service.

    Food is superb. The place is small and quaint but very cute. I've come to this establishment twice…read moreand both times did not disappoint. Food is very good and tasty. Prices are great and the portions are large. The staff is helpful and friendly overall five stars and I will be back again.
