If you're craving an authentic Portuguese feast, make your way to O Patio!…read more This place knows how to do generous portions and bold flavours. The Tomahawk Steak was the star of the meal--perfectly grilled with a beautiful char, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavour. Topped with a fried egg, it made for an unforgettable combination. Served alongside crispy hand-cut fries and fresh vegetables, every bite was satisfying. We also started with the calamari, and it did not disappoint. Light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, it came with a creamy dipping sauce that complemented it beautifully. Definitely one of the better calamari dishes I've had. From the quality of the food to the welcoming atmosphere, O Patio delivered a fantastic dining experience. If you're a steak lover or simply looking for authentic Portuguese cuisine with generous portions, this spot deserves a place on your list. Food: 9.3/10 Service: 9.4/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. #FoodReviewCA #PortugueseFood #TomahawkSteak

It's the kind of place where the atmosphere is as comforting as the food; warm, welcoming, and unpretentious. We kicked things off with a couple of standout appetizers: chorizo roasting over a live fire which arrived sizzling and smoky, and sautéed shrimp bursting with garlic and flavor. Both were perfect alongside the complimentary bread, which was just the right kind of crusty for dipping and nibbling. For mains, we went all in. The T-bone steak was massive and cooked to perfection -- juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Sliced beef on a skewer with a secret sausage in between each piece. But the star of the show might've been the Little Frenchie. Picture this: a bun stacked high with grilled beef, sausage, and ham, smothered in melted cheese, topped with a fried egg, and drenched in a rich, savory gravy. Oh, and don't forget the fries which were crispy, golden, and ideal for soaking up every last bit of sauce. Everything about the experience was warm and genuine, from the food to the service. This isn't trendy or modern and that's exactly why it's so great. It's a true taste of tradition, where portions are generous, flavors are bold, and you leave feeling like you've just had a home-cooked meal from someone's nanna.

It's cafeteria style, but because of how fast they sell, nothing seems to sit and the food is consistently on a fresh rotation. I got the 1/4 chicken meal with two sides, potatoes & veggies and the flavors were on point. 10/10. I also bought a beef puff, which was just okay imo but it seemed to be sitting for a while so it wasn't as fresh. They give you very generous portions for the plates. No seating is available inside but they have 3 tables that can fit 2-3 people right outside their front door. Seems to be extremely popular with locals of all backgrounds and I can see why! It'd be nice if they stayed open a bit later but I'd definitely put this place at the top of my list of food options if I'm in the area again.

The chicken was tender and juicy, and the potatoes were cooked just right. I grew up in little Portuguese so this sent me into full childhood nostalgia. The service was also great. Everyone was very welcoming for a busy small grab-and-go spot. Makes for a great lunch spot or a take out dinner kind of night. Portion was so big, I ended up eating 3 rounds of it, lol. And if you wanna save a little, bring cash!

I've been thinking about them lately but there doesn't seem to be many around anymore. I Googled and found Vira's BBQ. I stopped in today and got a half rotisserie chicken dinner with rice and potatoes to go for lunch for $18. It was a heavy meal so I weighed it when I got home and it was almost 4 pounds! So delicious and enough for a couple more meals! Vira included a small container of extra "hot" sauce and generously added a custard tart (which was yummy and i shared with Gord). I'll definitely be back!

The lady who was working was very helpful and explained how the place worked, you get two sides with your meal. I ended up getting quarter of rotisserie chicken with potato balls and coleslaw with barbecue sauce. The chicken itself was so juicy and fresh, wasn't dried out like some chicken places and the bbq sauce was nice and sweet! The potatoes were so tender and cooked to perfection and the coleslaw was something I will be returning for. Not only does it taste great, she gave me A LOT of it too and I'm a huge coleslaw fan. Got everything for $8.50!! Highly recommend this place

It's fresh rotisserie chicken cooked over charcoal and served with a super tasty sauce. The price is reasonable too. No notes needed as they've pretty much nailed it. Even their potatoes were tastier than any other Portuguese chicken place I've been to, having a nice roasted exterior whereas most places just seem to have had them boiled.

Arguably one of the most underrated Portuguese spots in Toronto…read more Galo Do Sardinha Churrasqueira has been a part of the Toronto food scene since 1973, impressing local diners with authentic Portuguese flavours and rustic charm. In their trademark Roast Chicken, it is one of the tastiest bargains you will find! For only $12, it's a clever combination of spices and flavours all packed together as it rotates in the rotisserie oven to maintain its moistness and juiciness. I highly recommend sampling the chicken with their sweet and spicy sauces to give your tastebuds a rainbow of flavor! Their side dishes are nothing to dust aside as they are all freshly prepared by their head chef with over 40 years of experience in homestyle Portuguese cuisine! Their fried potatoes are crispy and fluffy with the perfect amount of spice for an addicting side dish! If you're feeling a small trip to Portugal, I highly recommend the Bacalhau à Bràs (Salted Cod and Potatoes) as it's Scalloped Potatoes with a seafood twist. The salted cods adds a pleasant texture and umami aroma in every bite! I wish Galo Do Sardinha was near my area as I would legitimately order weekly take-out orders from their affordable prices and amazing staff.

Bairradino, known for its Portuguese dishes, is a convenient place for a quick meal or grab-and-go…read morefood. It's a mainly take-out place but there are a few small tables and chairs for those who wish to dine on-site. They rotate some of the menu items, so not everything on their online menu is always available every day. I was hoping to try their Grilled Cod or Salmon, but they didn't have those on the day that I came, so I settled for Grilled Squid instead. You can opt to get any of the main items as part of a meal package (with 1 carb and 1 veggie dish or salad), or as a stand-alone (in small, medium, or large-sized container). I got the Grilled Squid with roasted potatoes with the skin on and steamed vegetables, and also got another side of small-sized steamed vegetables (love extra veggies). Other side options include flavoured rice with peas and carrots, potatoes (with or without the skin on), garden salad, chickpeas salad, and beans salad (depending on what they have available for the day). The meal was simple but pretty wholesome. They have 2 instead of 1 whole squid, which was seasoned nicely with garlic. Steamed vegetables and potatoes were perfect accompaniments. Note: No washroom for customers at this location. Parking is available at a Green P outdoor parking just ~10 minutes walk away. The location is also walking distance from Lansdowne station on the Bloor subway line.

What a find !!!!! Old school canteen food station style place offering a range of Portuguese…read moredishes. We tried this stew of pork and beef with potatoes, the seafood paella, and the grilled pork skewers with hot sauce. The hot sauce is to die for !! So YUM. The grilled pork skewered were hands down the best. The stew was also delicious and had whole olives in it that added some great flavours. The paella was so-so. There are so many other items that I want to come back for. The line up is huge at this place. And it's a fast paced assembly style ordering. Since this was my first time, I got a bit overwhelmed figuring out the menu + How to order. We ended up just taking a medium sized order of the above mentioned items but I believe there is an option of taking "combos". Our bill came up to around $30 incl tax. COVID note: as some of the other reviews mentioned, the server working the food station did not have a mask on. But the folks at the cash register had masks on and there was a partition protecting the cashier. They didn't specify how many people could be inside at once so that was a bit confusing. It's take out only.
