The old Barroso's is now long gone and a new Portuguese eatery has appeared in its place called "Sardine Rose". Not bad but not nearly as great as Barroso's or the even older and long missed Le Porto. Prides are still very reasonable especially in todays world of inflation and service is prompt and efficient but somehow the warmth of the older restos isn't here. read more

Bring it on! One of the cool things about visiting a city several times, you can find a somewhat hidden that makes you want to come back to the city. This will be one of those must go to restaurants for me in Montreal. Since I am not an expert in Portuguese cuisine, I can comment about the authentic of the food but I can say that I was a very happy person after leaving. The menu is quite large with various fish, chicken, beer, and pork options. I ordered the grilled calamari that were out of this world. The food was cooked beautifully and it was very fresh. The service was wonder. My waitress, who's name I do not remember but she has a sleeve tattoo, probably was one of the best waiters/waitresses in the city. She was cheerful, funny, and very helpful about the menu. I cannot wait to revisit this place when I come back to Montreal. read more

This meal was excellent... both times on my 2 day visit. Yeah had to go back again the next day. Get the combo... ribs (I'm not a ribs person, these were amazing), chicken, the Portuguese fries (sooo good), and salad. The fries are the star of the show. They're thick potato chip shaped cuts... prepared perfectly. They're about 3 potato chips thick and are awesome with salt or mayo. The meats were great too... and the salad was great. read more

Nice little place with great food. Got the combo of 1/2 chicken and 1/2 rack of pork ribs which came with salad and thick-cut chips. Meat was really tasty, just a tad bit dry, but still very good. It was also a huge amount of food and can easily be multiple meals. read more

My friends and I swung by Montreal, after a weekend in Tremblant. We ended up in the neighborhood with reservations to Au Petit Extra, but missed the 2:30pm weekday lunch deadline. The bistro's host was nice enough to recommend Grill Barroso down the block (both are on rue Ontario Est). Our group of 7 were the only patron, so we were wary. And Portuguese food in Francophile-friendly Montreal? We ordered a couple of appetizers ("entrees" in Quebec & France), and a bunch of main courses, most meats aside from the grilled sardine & grilled calamari. The food was not bad! The hand cut potato chips were the best part of the meal. On the same block is also another Portuguese resto, called Bistro Le Porto. This was the first place suggested by Au Petit Extra, but they were already closed for lunch when we arrived. read more

This is what the first place that I ate at my visit to Montreal and I'm not disappointed. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was great. keep in mind, it's not delicate French food, it's greasy heavy Portuguese food. If you like that, then you're in. The sausage and surf and turf is absolutely great. The portions are huge and you will not leave hungry. I love restaurants that give you free things too. We didn't order it, but they gave us free salads. Isn't that a nice touch? read more

Very good Portuguese chicken and octopus. Bring your appetite because the portions are heavy, complemented by a salad and delicious potatoes. The place is not very big, but makes for good group outings. read more

Sardine Rose - Grilled octopus. - Portuguese Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Getting tired of St-Hubert chicken? Well come here to eat great fire grilled chicken! This was an amazing experience for me, i really got tired of the rotisserie style of chicken. When I friend brought me here, I really thought I was going to be disappointed. When you walk in the flames are blazing in the kitchen. You can see them cooking on the grill; and you know you are now going to get quality food. The restaurant might be a hole in the wall, but its quite cozy. When I went, there was almost no one there. People are really missing out here. There is different dishes for everyones tastebuds. Just remember there is a lot of meat that they will cook on a real grill. I can't wait to go back. read more

I'd give them 5 stars just for the chips - they were really to die for. They were the perfect thickness, fluffy yet crispy and amazing with mayonnaise. My chicken was also excellent - my "thigh" portion was actually 2 thighs and a leg, all of which had the yummy sauce grilled right into them. I also ordered a house sangria which was very tasty. The service was super friendly. I might have a new favorite Portuguese restaurant in Montreal... read more

Portions were huge, the good was great and they have a nice selection of private Portuguese wine imports. Staff was friendly even when the restaurant was packed. read more

My girlfriend works nearby, so we visit Barroso often. Victor and is staff always made us feel welcome. I have been to their other locations, but for ambiance, this one is the best. Among all the Portuguese restaurant I've been to, this one is the best. Food is great, portion are generous and prices are fair. read more

Friendly restaurant with excellent Portuguese chicken!!! The fries are to die for, they are like potato chips and taste amazing. The chicken is pretty good but maybe not as crispy on the outside as I like it. Lots of combos and excellent if you want to share with someone. Overall great place to eat and I would definitely good back. read more

The food was awesome but I wish I could say the same for the service. The two waitresses made me feel unwanted at that place. I hope I'm wrong but I was the only coloured person there who didn't even get a straight look at me when talking to me. My girlfriend on the other hand got all the attention. I am happy that at least she got treated well but was not impressed at all with those waitresses. It felt like back in the 80's where minorities were not so welcome in Quebec read more

I had to give Barroso all stars because I have no complaints and left there feeling completely spoiled! 6 of us popped in on a Sunday evening to have dinner and as it was a very snowy evening were not surprised to see that it was fairly empty. Lucky for us, because we were hungry. The lovely decor and dim ambience were both inviting and surprising, and we couldn't wait to sink our teeth in. The service was outstanding. Although we were some of the only patrons, the water glasses were constantly filled and the staff was attentive and very sweet. The salad, main courses, amazing frites, and pitcher of sangria were all to die for and I will definitely be back. Just another gem in Montreal that would be a shame to pass by. read more

Portuguese food in Montreal used to be confined to the Portuguese area (near St-Laurent and Duluth) but with the rising popularity of these grill everywhere in the last few years they are beginning to appear in other neighborhoods. This one is pretty good and I would recommend it whenever you are around. read more

My boyfriend and I were staying in an apartment close by. We'd done a lot of walking that day so we wanted to find a place to eat close by our apartment and were very glad we decided to come here. The food was amazing, we had chicken with rice. The seasoning on the chicken was very tasty. The staff there were very friendly as well, and were helpful when we wanted to substitute the fries with rice. I've never had Portuguese rotisserie chicken, and this place has made me a fan. read more

Best grilled sardines ever! Chouriço was perfect! I had the combo Demi-poulet & côtes levées and it was very great. 3rd time in this place in 5 years. It never disappoints. read more

One of the best restaurants I've visited in almost a month in Montreal. It's right by the canal and lake, too, so you can walk along Canal Lachine on the biking and walking path and then stop by for dinner. Portuguese fries = amazing! They're thin, round, and crispy with what looks like sea salt. My chicken was perfect, and my husband said his steak was the best he's had in a very long time. Excellent food. The menu is only in French, so the owner kindly stood next to us and translated most of it for us and explained how the meats were cooked. read more

The service was ok, they were nice and attentive. But the chicken took extremely long, like half an hour, and it was dry. Definitely much better at fast food Portuguese rotisseries. The menu said "5$ extra if share plate".... I thought that was really absurd. I'd understand if it was an all-you-can-eat buffet. read more

Barosso Service was very nice. We were given water upon arrival and were check on couple of times before we decided what we wanted and during our meal. The server was patient explaining us the menu. A nice touch would have been if she introduced herself. We were sitting outside (must have been the last nice day of the season) so I don't know what is the atmosphere like inside. We both ordered a plate of lamb chops with soup as entrée. We got our bread basket with butter first. Bread had nice consistency and was fressh. Butter was ready to be spread on and did not come straight from the fridge. Soup was carrot and was nice and hearty. I especially liked that the plates were warmed up. Next arrived our salad. It was simple salad - lettuce, onions and olives with olive oil. Onions were tasty and olive oil tasted like olive oil (not always the case!). Both of of our mains were done as we requested. Well done and medium. The meat was very tasty and tender but the meat part could have been bigger. Chops looked more like medallions on the plate. It came with a side of house chips that I am not a big fan of but my counterpart enjoyed it. We also shared 1/2 l of red house wine that went down nicely with the lamb. The bill came to $80 for both which is reasonable for the meal and service we received. I would definitely go back and try something else on the menu. read more

Great restaurant, the serving sizes are huge. We ordered a mixed plate for one person and comfortably ate two of us. The charged us to order an additional plate, though. Great taste and food seasoning read more
