“⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Finally tried Gallo Portuguese Chicken. I really liked that they offer both grilled and rotisserie options — I went with the grilled and it was very good. The chicken was juicy, the potatoes were enjoyable, and the rice was solid.

The only disappointment was the piri piri sauce; it tasted more like a generic Frank’s Red Hot than a homemade Portuguese-style sauce.

Overall, good experience and worth trying.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“One of the best Portuguese Restaurants in Toronto GTA 😀“

“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.“

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

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

“Tried lunch here for the first time today. Yummy! Serving size is huge! Also tried white port - very nice. Tastes like ice wine. I had the oxtail stew with rice and potatoes. Had flan for dessert. My work colleaugues had the cod and beef pie. The salad was so good too.“

“Really enjoyed my first time experience ordering from CSM. It was a last minute decision but definitely a memorable one. The rice was so fresh, the chicken was savoury and juicy and the potatoes felt like a warm embrace on a cold day in January. I look forward to my next visit. Thank-you for such a pleasant experience!“

“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.“

“Found this restaurant yesterday after an appointment at Humber River hospital . We enjoyed half chicken dinners accompanied by Rice potatoes and Salad . The chicken was cooked on the grill to perfection .The salad was simple but delicious . It felt like a warm home cookjed meal on a cold winters day . The staff were welcoming and friendly and our waitress was attentive to our every need . Ill be back . Thanks“

“I wanted to give a shout out to this wonderful little restaurant. I've been coming here since I was a kid, discovered them in 2007 and have been a loyal customer since. Although I no longer live in Vaughan, I still travel to see family, and stop by Polo Loco every time. The food has always been absolutely delicious, the owner is genuine to his customers and very kind. I will never forget about this little place, as it holds a lot of memories for me and has a place in my heart.“

“Loves it“

“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!“

“Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
​Title: Exceptional service and a true family atmosphere!
​We have been loyal customers at Vila Verde for a long time, and they never fail to make us feel like family. This past Christmas Day was a perfect example of why we keep coming back. Even though the restaurant was busy and certain sections were closed off, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, letting us sit in our favorite spot near the back so we could enjoy a quiet holiday meal.
​A special shoutout to our waitress who has been there for years—she is the heart of this place! Her generosity and kindness haven't wavered once in all the time we’ve been coming here. It’s rare to find a restaurant that stays this consistent and actually rewards loyalty. Thank you, Vila Verde, for making our Christmas so special!“

“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 ????“

“The sandwich was really nice, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying and for just ten bucks, it honestly doesn’t get much better than that.
The coffee was great as well something I’d come back for.
The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the almond tart; the egg flavor was a bit too noticeable for my taste.
The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making the visit feel welcoming and well taken care of. Overall, a solid spot with good food, great service, and excellent value.“

“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.“
