Long overdue review. I used to go to Romados almost on a twice weekly basis as a university student, resorting to means such as pushing a Car2Go in snowstorms to travel halfway across town for my chicken fix or going for protein-rich "healthy" fill-up after hitting the gym, ha! Romados is iconic for cheap & fast charcoal-grilled Portuguese chicken served with an absurd amount of fries, all brushed with oily spicy piri-piri sauce. Don't forget the Sumol or a soft drink or 1L of water to wash that down cuz gosh I'm always devouring the thing so fast that it's hard on the tubes. My only complaint about Romados is consistency of the food. From one day to the next, the chicken ranges from texture-perfect to overly-dry to stayed-in-the-warming-tray for too long. From perfectly seasoned fries to major salt attack. That's why when the fire happened and Ma Poule Mouillée opened, I became a regular of the new kids on the block instead. Now that Ma Poule Mouillée also caught on fire, guess where I'm back at. Although there are many better/more consistent joints nearby, Romados remains for me the OG of this city's overstuffed Portuguese chicken meals. Tips: - The half-chicken set meal is really big (appropriate for 2 ppl) - Get some Pastel de nata, the custard tarts - Did I mention salt attack? Don't tell my doctor, please - Places takes debit/credit, no AMEX - Call ahead to skip the line - Seating is limited, please share

Honestly my all time favourite place but I have two MAJOR issues I hope the owner is made aware of! One maybe it's just me but my experience with their food in the day is way better than in the evening. I have been thoroughly disappointed my last few visits with the quality of the food! Rice was over cooked to mush and the chicken was so dry and over cooked it hurt to swallow! They're lucky their food is so damn tasty. Second! What's the point of calling in and preordering? Makes no difference as every time I end up waiting in the line anyways. And when ppl respect their two lines, by the time I get up to the front and tell them I pre ordered, they ask my name and I still have to end up confirming what I order on the phone for them to prepare it! So what's really the point? All in all I love you guys but it sucks being disappointed by your favourite place. You have a few things to work on. For me it's more than just good food! I need consistency and good customer service.

This is literally the staple of Portuguese rotisserie chicken. About 15 years ago, I was attracted by the smell of this rotisserie while wandering around the area, and was hooked ever since. This is my first time back after the rebuilt from the building fire. The bakery side is smaller than what I have expected from the past. However, the grilled chicken is exactly as I have remembered: moist chicken with just enough char smothered with a splash of spicy piri piri sauce. There is constantly a line up in this joint and I am not surprised. If you are in town and want some casual eat, here is an excellent choice!

This was another spot my friend and I tried during our weekend trip to Montreal. We were in the mood for Portuguese food so we looked on yelp for restaurants and this place came up. It had good reviews so we decided to check it out. When we got to the place we could see a bunch of chicken being cooked in the back. It looked amazing. My friend and I shared the half chicken meal. The portion was huge and definitely enough to share. The meal came with rice, fries and salad. The fries were fresh and crispy. The rice was very flavourful. The chicken was cooked perfectly. We loved everything about the meal. We also got the egg tarts for dessert which were again very good. You have to order your food first at the front and pay. There was very limited seating available to sit there and eat. My friend and I ate our food there but found it a little tight. Would recommend getting take out. This is not really a sit and dine kinda restaurant. If your in Montreal definitely check out this place!

We ended up here solely from some yelp research and it did not disappoint. The location is pretty easy to find (given we took an Uber) and it's a casual setting inside. We ordered a half chicken combo with 2 Portuguese tarts. Our total was $15. Great price for 2 people sharing the meal. Our order came with a half chicken (choice of mild or spicy sauce), salad, rice and fries. The chicken tasted fresh and flavourful right off the grill. It was plentiful. The salad was nothing special- regular shmegular salad. The fries were DELICIOUS and they are very generous with the serving. I liked the rice but I wish they gave a bigger serving. Maybe cut down the salad size and add a bigger serving of rice. If you're looking for cheap eats and good quality Portuguese food, look no further !

Best.rotisserie.chicken.ever. Rotisserie chicken is not something I would ever crave out of the blues, and Romados is nowhere close to what I would call one of my favorite meals.. BUT! Romados really has given me the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had in my life. Chicken is juicy and bursting with flavor from the skin to the meat. The smokiness to the chicken tasted like a hybrid of a backyard BBQ + in-house rotisserie chicken. My order came with fries I didn't care much for, but nothing to complain about here since everyone comes for the chicken anyway.

I came across this place as a must try in Montreal and I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. LOCATION & DECOR: 4/5 A bit off of St Laurent Blvd, on Rue Rachel, this place is a bit hidden off from tourists. There is a cafeteria style lineup to order and pay, and an area to sit and eat as well. They also have a variety of portugese baked goods to try and sauces to purchase. FOOD: 5/5 YAAS. I wish we had this place back at home because this is such a gem! Firstly their portions are MASSIVE. ~$9 for a 1/2 chicken combo already sounds great but it's actually an INSANE amount of food and variety! They fill the box right to the top! 1/2 a chicken is already so much but they top it off with a huge scoop of fries on top, as well as the salad and rice on the side. This is probably enough to feed two people. But not only are the portions big but every bite is DELICIOUS. I'm not a fan of rotisserie chicken but this place is amazing. Their piri piri sauce is SO good I dipped the fries in it. The people in front of me ordered a weeks amount of food at once, and I totally get why. SERVICE: 5/5 The line for food moves a bit slower than I expected but they are very nice about it! They also have a ton of Uber eats/foodora orders coming in that they have to fulfill too. The staff were all very helpful and nice. This place is a gem I 100% recommend it!

its been awhile i didnt come to this place its been like 1year and went today its not that buzy its a Goood Portueges Chicken best in the neightbor ... get the 1/2 chicken with rice,salad,fries.bread ur 10$ its worth the price

Since this place is a few blocks from where I'm staying, I decided to give it a try. When I went inside there was a long line. I feel like when there is a long line it shows that the food is good and people are willing to wait for it. I chose the chicken style meal. It came with fries and salad. The chicken was amazing! It was soft and the skin was crispy. It was also spicy which added extra flavor. I also tried the Portuguese egg tart. It was sweet and cold. I prefer egg tarts coming straight out.

Wow. This place is amazing. I'm from LA and I've been traveling for a few days now. I saw this place recommended from some blog and Instagram. I just had to check it out because I love food and chicken is one of my favorite meats. I got a spicy 1/2 chicken combo. It was a lot of food that I had to take the rest back to the hotel. The price was also very good. The chicken was very juicy and tender with their own spices which they sell..I highly recommend this place for anyone who likes chicken.

So good! Romados has perfected their chicken, and even though you don't see the chicken in this picture, it's hiding under all those fries! You get a good portion of fries and salad and rice too, and couldn't even finish all the fries. We got two half combos, and three of us couldn't even finish it! So much food. Also definitely try their egg tarts! I was hoping the egg tarts would be warm, but they're cold. A sweet dessert, and while they look like Portuguese egg tarts I've had before, didn't quite taste the same. Still yum though.

ATMOSPHERE: Its a small takeout restaurant with few spots to sit down inside. Its pretty clean and the menu is small but its because they excel in what they make. FOOD: Awesome. The chicken was super flavourful, juicy and just perfect. Fries were awesome (best I've had) and rice is delicious. Also the portions are ENORMOUS. I couldn't even finish my dish in one sitting. Everything was on point. I would definitely come back here again if I was in the area. PRICE: Super affordable. The prices range from 5-10$ and this place is definitely a bang-for-your-buck spot. SERVICE: Servers are super friendly and nice. They're welcoming and are happy to give you as much food as possible as efficiently as possible.

Went there back a few years ago pre-vegetarian. A classic spot for good food in MTL. The fries are delicious and definitely made the biggest impression on me because I still remember them a few years later! Perfect location in Mile End and a fun environment that feels like a ma and pa shop! If you like chicken, head on over!

People of Montreal seem to love their rotisserie chicken so of course I made a stop at the most famous place to see what the fuss was all about. While certainly not photogenic at all, I know now why people are so crazy for this place. Quite possibly the best rotisserie chicken I have ever had! Incredibly moist and seasoned perfectly with crispy skin, what more can you ask for from chicken?! So good that I went twice in my short trip as well. You can cancel getting the portugese tarts. They are NOTHING like the ones in lisbon, so don't get excited.

Romados has some of the best chicken I have ever eaten. When I think about Montreal I think about Romados. They're synonymous. It's that good. Combined with the fact that their sides are also the bomb, this is easily one of my favourite spots in the city. You're probably thinking a 1/4 chicken meal wouldn't suffice a hungry stomach, but Romados gives you a ridiculous amount of sides, and good ones to boot. Their chicken was incredibly juicy and the skin with a reasonable crispiness. The chicken was on the saltier side but that's where all the flavor is. You can also taste many spices and it's amazing. They give you their chicken 'gravy/spicy sauce/oil' which is heavenly when you dip just about anything in it. The fries, the rice, and the chicken, and the result is a flavor explosion. The fries were full of garlicky and herby goodness although they weren't the same as the last time I had them which were the clean hand-cut fries. Regardless, they were crispy and delicious. The salad was a necessary component, and the rice was perfect. I really appreciate that they give you all these sides (including a bread roll). It just completes the meal experience. All this for around $10 tax included. How is this possible?!

Romados has amazing Portuguese "crack" chicken as well as desserts all at an excellent price point. Cuisse 1/4 combo comes with a big piece of dark meat (leg/thigh) and a side salad and ton of fries. The restaurant has a divey vibe and is great for a quick dinner with friends or family or even takeaway because it is a lot of food for your money. I recommend Romados, especially the chicken with the spicy oil marinade.

Grateful this place exists and is so close to home. If you like Portuguese chicken, than you will love it here. The chicken is cooked rotating on coal stoves, and always comes out perfectly juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Two half chickens, is more than enough for a family of 4, and includes fries, salad, rice (if you come early enough). Definitely get the spicy sauce, it's really not very spicy, just tasty! This is a must try spot if you're in the area.

Best chicken combo! I ordered the 1/4 chicken and you get a choice of salad, rice or fries and you can get any combination of these which is helpful. There is a sweet or spicy sauce that come with it but you can have it on the side. French bread is given too. The portion is big and the price is right! Chicken was flavorful enough for me so I didn't need the sauce. Highly recommend this place!
