Le Paradis du Poulet

Nothing wrong with the food here, it’s excellent. The staff’s attitude, on the other hand, is reprehensible. Go elsewhere, they don’t deserve your hard earned money.

Petit restaurant de quartier. Le poulet est très bon et est savoureux. Je recommanderai cet endroit. Bön prix aussi.

Good chicken. Definitely less greasy than Romados. Also has more of a mustardy taste to the sauce, but still good. Meal came with the typical fries, rice, and small salad. Outside seating was pleasant, and service was good. Chorizo was dry, so defijitely order the chicken.

J’adore ce petit restaurant. Les employés sont très sympathiques, rapides et à l’écoute. J’ai pour le moment eu l’occasion que de manger du poulet là-​bas et je né suis pas déçu il est succulent, pas trop gras et bien assaisonné. Ton assiette est bien remplie, donc si tu as juste un petit creu vasi mollo sur la commande ahah. En plus, c’est pas cher mais pas du tout !!
J’aime bien son emplacement aussi, sur la terrasse, on est pas dérangé par trop de voitures.
Faut j’y retourne dans la semaine, c’est sûr.

I’m from Toronto ans stumbled upon this place looking fir take out to bring to my sisterinlaws for dinner. The wait was way too long, i suggesT two people at the prep and 1 at the cash. The best portugese bbq chicken ever. The meat was moist and tenderand cooked throughout. The sauce was fantastic but they should have put in a little plastic cup for dipping. Ordered a whole chcken and large salad the dressing on the salad was perfect!

I went to this restaurant on a Saturday and I presume that the reason why the restaurant was so busy was because it was the weekend. The service would have probably been better if there were more waiters (the night I went, there were only 2 waiters for the entire restaurant) but the waiters were extremely nice and personable and made very nice suggestions from the menu. The food was very good but the Portuguese sausage was rather generic, an tasted almost and slightly overly-​grilled, store bought Portuguese sausage that the restaurant let swim in a spicy marinade/​sauce. Otherwise, the food tasted fresh, and delicious. Including the chicken. The chicken was delectable. The dessert (a cake), though, may have been very delicious if eaten fresh but it tasted a bit like it had been wrapped and kept in the fridge for a couple of days. The restaurant was good in general, but should hire more staff (it seems like a family restaurant, so waiters are most likely the family members) to serve people on the days the restaurant is expected to have more customers (like the weekend).

Frango Nirvana. Rambled into this place for lunch and knew right away that the first dish you order has to be the BBQ chicken. I went for the half chicken plate and it was a mountain of food. I chose the chicken spicy and it was perfect not quite a lip-​burn but enough to get your attention. The bird was delicious-​flattened, moist and crispy; the fries hot and tasty. I didn’t touch the rice… rice and potatoes is starch overload. The salad was buried under the fries with a little too much 1000 Island-​like dressing. The décor is heavily soccer (futbol) paraphernalia with a real homey feel to place. This is a place for neighborhood family food at it’s Portuguese best. Don’t forget to buy a custard pastry (pastel de nata) at the cash on the way out. I had that treat at my desk mid-​afternoon with coffee.

Le meilleur poulet portugais en ville! Ce restaurant est une perle rare! Pas cher! Ça vaut le détour !

I had dinner here on October 25, 2014, with a friend. It was very, very busy and I guess that’s why the service was terrible — beyond terrible!
Right after we finished ordering, a group of 5 people and a couple were seated. I ordered the half chicken plate and my friend the «daurade» fish. The table of 5 and the couple behind us got their orders almost immediately but we waited and waited and we didn’t mind all that much because it looked and smelled so good. So when our orders came, finally, I was disapointed with my cold, dry chicken — I’m guessing they put my dish together first while they prepared the fish. Very disapointing. My friend’s «daurade» was a whole fried, white fish full of small fish bones, he left half of it on the plate.
It’s difficult to understand why this place was recommended to me by a friend and why it has such positive reviews. Seriously!
Next time I have a hankering for some Portuguese chicken, I’ll go to Piri-​Piri, Romados, Coco-​Rico or anywhere else for that matter. This place was a complete bust. What a nasty experience.
EN FRANCAIS
Nous avons mangé à ce restaurant, mon ami et moi, le 25 octobre, 2014. C’était bondé de monde et peut être cela explique le service pourri. On s’entend qu’on est loin d’un cinq étoiles mais quand même.
une tablée de 5 personnes et un couple se sont installés peu après que nous ayons placé notre commande. J’ai commandé l’assiette demi poulet et l’ami la «daurade». La tablée de 5 et le couple derrière nous on reçu leurs assiettes très rapidement et ce avant nous. L’attente a été longue mais nous sommes restés patients car l’odeur de la nourriture était bonne et les plats qu’on voyait passer avaient l’air appétissants. Alors quelle déception quand après cette longue attente, je reçois du poulet froid et sec! Je présume qu’ils ont dû préparer mon assiette bien avant de préparer l’assiette de poisson de mon ami. La «daurade» c’est un poisson blanc, frit en entier avec une abondance d’arêtes à l’intérieur — plus de la moitié est restée dans son assiette.
Ca me choque que ce restaurant m’a été référé et qu’il soit bien coté sur les sites restos. La prochaine fois que j’ai un goût pour du poulet Portugais je me déplacerai volontier chez Piri-​Piri, Romados ou Coco-​Rico, n’importe ou sauf là! Une belle expérience écoeurante!

Love this place! Ever since Romados burned, the quality and portions have also suffered so I discovered this place. The owners and workers are from northern Portugal, therefore a little more Loose-​Lipped. They are loud but friendly, its that kind of love. Service is more casual but very complete.
More importantly, the food: INSANE! It’s really good and shhhhhh but it might even be better chicken than Romados lol some people may not agree but it’s really good. They have a quaint terrasse in the front, the colors are tacky but fun. It’s like the place was painted in the Portuguese colors by mistake but because it’s such a chill ambiance, it works. If you want a full plate where you go home well fed for $ 10, sure thing! Plus they have take out so its a great alterntaive to the usual. If your hungry and in the area, gotta stop by. Not one of those fancy dressed places but great for a night out either way with a date or even a party would work.
Check out the Sumol drinks… mind blowing!

Great food and decent service.
A chicken sandwich, salad and a generous service of chips and an orange juice costs $ 10.30.
The sandwich had just the right amount of spice and was delicious.
Unfortunately, they wouldn’t take VISA. Luckily I had some cash on me.

C’est en surfant sur Unilocal,que j’ai remarqué cet endroit. J’ai dû passé devant ce resto des centaines de fois mais la critique de Luc B. m’a fait y arrêter. L’endroit né paie pas de mine mais lorsque l’on y rentre, on sait que l’on est dans une rôtisserie portugaise. Premièrement l’odeur du charbon de bois et du poulet. Les desserts dans le présentoir. Le service un peu bougon mais chaleureux du personnel. Enfin… le poulet.
L’endroit porte bien sont nom. Pour environ 17 $, on y a un poulet entier avec une grande frite. Assez pour nourrir 4 personnes et avoir (un petit peu) de restant.
On peut bien sûre manger sur place, mais on peut aussi commander pour emporter.
Vraiment une belle découverte!

Voici une chaleureuse rôtisserie portugaise située dans le quartier Rosemont. Au paradis du poulet, tout est préparé dans la plus pure tradition portugaise, c’est-à-dire avec cuisson sur charbon de bois. Au menu, on trouve des fruits de mer (du calmar), du porc et, bien sûr, du poulet. On trouve aussi de la bière exportée du Portugal, des vins et des alcools fort. Les gros appétits seront contentés car les portions sont très généreuses. Le poulet est succulent et les frites sont préparées avec un mélange spécial d’épices et de sel de mer. Vu de l’extérieur, l’endroit né paie pas de mine. Mais à l’intérieur, le décor est simple et chaleureux et révèle sans détour l’origine portugaise des propriétaires. Si vous passez dans le coin et que vous désirez manger du bon poulet cuits au charbon de bois, je vous suggère un arrêt au Paradis du poulet.

Portuguese Chicken at its finest. The sauce on the chicken was impeccable.
Ordered a whole chicken for $ 30 (takeout is $ 25). It easily fed 4 people and we gorged ourselves. should be no problem filling up a group of 5. The chicken is cooked to perfection. It perfectly moist and drenched in a savory sauce.
It comes with a full plate of well seasoned fries, and a full plate of salad (simple leafs with tomato, onion and sweet dressing)
The calamari appetizer was excellent too. Comes drenched in onion bits and sauce.
You’ll want to use bread to lick this plate clean when you’re done.
Dessert:
— Flan was good
— Tarts were excellent as expected (there was a whole tray of them at the pay counter and I couldn’t resist)

The chicken is excellent: juicy and spicy, quite like Romados or Coco Rico. You can’t beat the price, either. You can eat like a king for less than 10 $.
I prefer Romados over this place (and Coco Rico), but it is still very good. Plus, it’s nice that it’s in a different location. Coco Rico and Romados are both very close to each other. It’s nice to have another option in a different part of town.
