“Love this spot. One of my favourites!“

“Special thank you to the Chef Joe for his decadent traditional Alcatra dish. Offered as a special order, this dish served 6 people with plenty of left overs to send home with the guests! Joe recommended a nice rice dish and some wonderful milk bread to go along with the meal. It was a huge hit at the gathering and had our guests in flavour heaven! Thank you Joe for your exotic recommendation. Meals like this make it easy to invite and share in company. It was a memorable meal and experience. Thank you Joe!“

“The Portuguese chicken was absolutely delicious—juicy on the inside, perfectly grilled on the outside, and packed with flavor. The spices were well balanced, and the peri-peri sauce gave it a nice kick without overpowering the taste. Definitely something I’d order again.“

“Great Portuguese BBQ chicken, highly recommended!!!“

“My Wife and I were introduced to this small but, hidden gem, by our In-laws, who are regular patrons. The staff and cooks are amazing. Beautiful 'Juliana' has a smile and personality that could stop a 'Warship'. The quality and prices are beyond criticism. Our favorite destination for a good satisfying meal. Enjoy!“

“Rei do Churrasco provides the best roasted chicken (frango de Churrasco) and piglet (leitao). There is noticeable pride and care on the food quality and service. A place to go for your daily meal needs, or special occasions. Thank you for the quality service provided for our family special occasion.“

Quality, flavourful food with huge portions and a reasonable amount! This place is a gem!!!“

“One of best burgers I ever had!“

“Not all portugese grills are the same _ Firstly when you walk into this establishment you notice how clean it is _ no matter what time you walk in _ its spotless unlike some other restaurants where the first thing that hits you is the uncleanness _ Lavrador's Bbq open kitchen is huge and the place has been there for a long time _ but the massive overhead exhaust systems grills and ovens are extremely clean and new looking _ always shiny _ hot table as well (which contains and displays some of the tastiest food ive had if not the tastiest) always fresh and kept at proper temperatures _ next thing you see is Linda the owner coming out from the back walking towards you with a smile if she is not already serving another customer _ always friendly _ never a long face _ even though she might be exhausted near the end of a long day from all the cooking cleaning and serving (not to mention the heat) she is very professional and does most of it herself _ not to take anything away from her helper _ also the variety of food should be noted _ she has the main dishes every day Like the chicken _ potatoes _ rice _ fish which is all extremely tasty but she also throws in some other dishes that you will find on certain days like chineese style stir fry rice and lasagna _ stew with potatoes peas and pork_ fava beans,roast beef roast pork cod fish stew,cod fish and potato pie if that's your thing _ and where else can you get a huge turkey drum stick and feel like a king _ also her home made corn bread is amazing_ and for what you get in regards to quality of service_ quality of atmosphere and quality of most importantly the food the prices are unbeleivable _ I havent tried all of the dishes yet but I plan to _ im on my way there now

Vegetarian options: Always healthy veggies to enjoy there“

“Uptown Churrasqueira is a nice place to eat. They serve yummy chicken and fresh veggies. The chicken was a little cold, and they could have used more sauce (I asked for extra sauce), but it was still cooked well. The veggies were really fresh and tasty. There isn’t a lot of seating, so be prepared to take it on the go!I think it's a good spot to grab a bite, so I would give it five stars. You might want to try it if you're in the mood for some tasty chicken and veggies.I will add though, the area is hard to get in and out of due to the Finch traffic, but if you’re willing to brave it, then you’ve got a good chance at enjoying this place the same way that I did.“

“I have visited the restaurant several times, and I can confirm the food is delicious, always well served, good portions (I have attached pictures, keep in mind some are half doses of the requested food). The customer service is excellent, super friendly and very professional.
I will be coming back, my go to restaurant.

Highly recommend.

Parking is available across the street, huge parking lot.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were exceptional. The establishment is very clean and has an upscale feeling with home like treatment. The owner came around to check on each table. Warm and welcoming. My 9 year old grandson loved his food and pinches of the cheek from the maître d’. 😆 We’ve been before and will definitely come back again.“

“Ive been a loyal customer of Sao Miguel Churrasqueira for the last 5 years and the food and service never fails! The food is always fresh, large portions and im always treated like im family. Theyve always gone the extra mile and they deserve the 5 🌟 review. If you're in the west end, I would recommend to stop by and grab a bite. Try the hot sauce 🥵 home made and packs a punch 👊🏾💥“

“Muito bom Restaurante. Boa Comida 🍱 Bom Atendimento bom ambiente Recomendo 👍😊“

“Great tasting food! Great Atmosphere! Great service!❤️“

“Super food. Fresh and all proteins are juicy and properly cooked. Potatoes awesome. Little tarts awesome. Bread awesome. Olives awesome.
Service. Generally friendly but when it’s very busy, unless you’re a large group, it’s sometimes suffers.
Returned in Jan 2026 - update. Had their breaded filet of sole. This is a hidden gem! The fish is freaking fantastic!!

Atmosphere. Fair. Family style with maybe a slight bit nicer. Often can find entertainment on weekends so call in advance. Reservation recommended regardless if size of group

Super entertainment with live piano , guitar and singing.“

“I took my nephew out for a birthday lunch with high expectations, and Nandos exceeded those. The chicken was mouth watering, the chicken burger was excellently crafted, and the FRIES!!! The fries were…yes. Just yes. And the service was absolutely amazing, and shoutout to Sayeda!!! She is incredibly kind. She repeatedly asked us if we needed anything, was extremely helpful, and super friendly.“

“We happened upon this restaurant by a recommendation .....omg....what a diamond of a place... enter through the front door on College Street and wander through to the amazing back patio.....the ambience is unbelievable, you are made to feel so comfortable and at home....our server was Peter who was beyond amazing....if you are looking for a place to go I definitely recommend this place......we are from Ottawa way but will be coming back...totally a 10 out of 10“

“Great people and desserts“

“Came here to get a beefana to go. They make them really good here and you can't beat the price!

Its mostly older Portuguese people here, and it really is a place stuck in a time capsule. Great for watching soccer games.“

“I've tried quite a few different Churrasqueiras recently and I have to say that the chicken from here is amazing. It beats out most places. I ordered the chicken, sausage and the tart. The tart was mind blowing and beat out every other Portuguese place. But the sausage did let me down. I've been looking for a good competitor to Azores from Cambridge, and they won once again. The potatoes were okay, they do make them differently than other restaurants, it's more like baked. It was still delicious but I sort of expected a more softer version. The sauce was nice and combined with rice and chicken it really came alive. Didn't tastle like Piri-piri though, more like buffalo sauce. Nevertheless, the food was great overall and I'll likely come here again.“

“One of my family members said this is the best place for Portuguese food in Toronto. We were hungry so we thought we would give it a try. We phoned through our order and went and collected it and once it was home we tucked in. The food was EXCELLENT! There was plenty to go round and for us all. Highly Recommended!“

“I want to give a huge shout-out to the amazing waitress Paula! Every time I visit, she and Shan are the only ones who are always smiling, incredibly polite, and ready to serve with enthusiasm. The food is consistently delicious, making it truly worth experiencing Portuguese cuisine in Toronto. Note: They always provide exceptional service ????“

“Today I visited this place for the third time. It is probably the only cozy spot in the whole neighborhood. They have an unusual selection of pastries and very good coffee. The place is clean, and the staff are very kind and attentive, always happy to help or give recommendations. I highly recommend the cannoli! Please maintain this high standard. There's nowhere else to get coffee here except you. :)“

“We placed a large order, for the first time, with Mario’s BBQ on Hurontario St. From start to finish, it was a very pleasant experience. It was delivered on time and was fresh and hot. We just had to take the cover off the dishes, and they all looked appetizing and beautifully presented. The portions were huge. Everyone enjoyed the deliciously flavoured roasted and grilled chickens, the rice, and roasted potatoes and veggies. The Greek salad was perfect too. Could not get any better than this. We’re glad to recommend this place. You will not get disappointed.“

“Fresh n tasty Quick service“

“It was our first time dining in here, and we had a great experience. The chicken was really good—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff was extremely kind and truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Simran helped us with some recommendations, and every suggestion turned out to be spot on. Overall, a lovely first visit and we’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Had a custom cake made for my daughter's confirmation...it was amazing: colours for the outside 👌. Cake was absolutely amazing and so fresh. Everyone enjoyed it!!! Employees were amazing with communicating any requests. Thank you team Nova Era.“
