“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.“

“This cozy Portuguese restaurant feels like a home-cooked family meal. The flavors are delicious and authentic, with each dish crafted with love and care. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff make it a delightful spot for lunch. If you're looking for a taste of Portugal, this is the place to go.“

“Amazing rotisserie chicken done on hardwood charcoal....you can taste the difference...“

“Nothing but awesome things to say! We placed a very large order and Ricardo was very easy to work with. The food was so delicious, everyone loved it! We also got our food delivered all the way to Cambridge. It arrived on time and piping hot! We will be contacting you in September to cater our family reunion event! Thank you St. Matthews BBQ team for your hard work catering our event“

“Amazing, authentic food; exceptional service and a great atmosphere!“

“Usually order this great Portuguese style chicken on Uber Eats. Today stopped for takeaway and took the combo to go - friendly server called Sidhu, and good portions. Chicken is never dry and juicy. If this company keeps up their quality and consistency then they will stay best rotisserie chicken in Toronto.“

“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!“

“Recently, I hosted a milestone birthday dinner for my daughter at Via Norte. Stephanie and her team were welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable. Their food, wine, cocktails and champagne recommendations were incredible! All of my guests can’t stop raving about this Toronto gem!!“

“Food Very Good but as in any place once in a blue moon it goes wrong DONT COMPLAIN they hate that but overall I gave them a 4.5 stars“

“has become my new favourite place. amazing“

“I ordered their fish, potatoes and rice. The food was delicious, the portion size was generous, prices were reasonable. More importantly, the lady who took my order was very friendly and genuinely kind. That’s something I haven’t come across in many restaurants. Recommended!“

“I just had to make an account so that I could leave a review. Blessed to have taken an extensive look and taste at their whole menu and as a neighbourhood foodie this place is legit. Michelle the manager especially is just a stellar human being - I just can't say enough she's very genuine and just a wholesome and heart-warming person if you take the time to speak with her - and the whole family from George to John really make the place a true pillar of Toronto and the small businesses that make it up. They've been in business for decades and had serious misfortune undeservedly go their way so now that they're back and up and running let's support the people that make Toronto a better place and fill our bellies with deliciousness while we're at it“

“Want a great time with friends and family... this is a place you want to be at“

“If you want to eat a lot, delicious food at a good price, come to Marina's. From the first moment I ate their chicken, I became addicted to it. It's the best chicken I've eaten in Toronto and in Canada. The place has lots of light and a patio where you can enjoy it. On Fridays and Saturdays, they have live Brazilian music. Thanks to Marina and her husband for the delicious food they cook and the good service they provide. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Toronto.“

“Fresh, delicious food and amazing service!“

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

“Great service, fresh food and a comfortable place to eat in. After being here twice my concious is troubeled ;) who's making the best steak? The mother ( chips incl) or the son ( veggies in stead of chips on request incl) ? I think i need to go back a third time. Looking forward to this.“

“Simplesmente a melhor comida de Toronto!“

“Amazing food, great service Fresh fish and seafood Steaks that are cooked to perfection Super tasty desserts Love this place, always going back“

“I got the Portuguese tart and coconut tart. I had already purchased my tart from Paddington but since this is branded as "Portuguese cuisine," I wanted to come the tarts since MOST OF THE BAKERIES AT ST.LAWRENCE ARE SELLING THESE TARTS. Well, I enjoyed the tart from Paddington more. They were both good but the custard in that was not as smooth and spiced and Paddington. The coconut tart is very moist and has a balanced sweetness. There is not really much of a coconut taste but you can feel the coconut flakes that are used, so yes there is coconut but it just is not strong. The texture is also a bit chewy, not what I expected but enjoyable nonetheless. Give this place a try and eat right way! Best when fresh, if you lucky :)“

“Food was amazing the chicken was fresh and off the grill perfectly cooked ... The ladies were very nice welcoming .... I felt very comfortable eating there very clean and family friendly .... Feels like Home!!!!! Prices are very reasonable and the portions big .... I'm very satisfied and happy found this restaurant I will definitely come back ...... BEST CHICKEN IN TOWN HANDS DOWN“

“I haven't been in the neighbourhood for a very long time and so glad I found this place! I got the quarter chicken leg meal with rice and vegetables (for extra buck). The chicken skin was crispy and the leg was moist and juicy! It was a tasty meal and affordable price. Definitely coming back to try the ribs! (no photos as I ate it too fast!)“

“One of best burgers I ever had!“

“Undoubtedly one of my favorite places and one that I visit practically every day. Pleasant, welcoming atmosphere, respect and friendliness towards customers. A varied and appetizing cuisine, without forgetting to mention the chicken wings with various types of sauces. Undoubtedly my favorite dish.The owner " Sr João " is super friendly and above average. Likewise, the super sweet, friendly and always with a smile on their lips for customers.Definitely a place to visit.A thank you to all.Mario Braga.Azores.“

“I love this place greyt food and service“

“Yesterday afternoon my 1974 graduate classmates from Vaughan Road Collegiate held a 50 year reunion here. The owner, Josue, met with us prior to help us plan the event. He guided us through the process and was very attentive to our needs. Attendance was approx. 45-50 people. The event was an amazing success. Josue and his team, including Jessica and Mariso, were excellent hosts and provided professional, courteous, 5 star service. The venue was perfect for our needs. The food was delicious and portions were generous. Thank you…!! We will return….❤️??

It never disappoints.

My go-to choice is the potatoes, rice, and BBQ chicken.

“This place is hard to find. They need a bigger sign! …maybe add some lights outside?

The food was good;
Service was pretty average;
The price, compared to other places, is high,
It’s take-out only at this location but there’s a 4 seater bench outside.
Overall, I would recommend this place for its whole chicken, rice, potatoes and steamed veggies meal. The hot sauce is good too!

Parking: 2 spots available in front of the restaurant. The rest is street parking (wherever you can find)“

“amazing place! amazing people!! good food. great music. joe and Maria rock the casbah!“

“The food was delicious I recommend this place“

“Saw the good reviews had a family member who had recommended this place to me, decided to give it a try as I was in the area I would definitely come back! Staff was super friendly very polite I could tell there was regular customers coming back so that’s always a plus and the food was good!“

“Excellent place for chicken, fillet de soul, cod and sea bass. Fairly good value. It is usually consistent occasionally the potatoes need more cooking sometimes and the rice is ruined if garlic salt is added. So I skip the rice and potatoes and get French fries and the chicken only. But the rice was excellent last time. Hit and miss on the rice and potatoes.“

“The food was great! We got a large shareable platform with very reasonable portion sizes. The chicken was juicy and flavourful and there were a variety of delicious sides. More importantly, the service at this location was amazing. The employees were kind and accommodating and let us celebrate a birthday, providing candles and lighter for us too! Thank you to the staff!“
