Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill

Worst customer service ever experienced by our group of five. Very rude waitresses
Embarrassment to our guests from out of country.
Best to drive to Mississauga location for both food and service.
Going to a nearby bakery for coffee and dessert since they clearly didn’t care to provide any service.

honestly this place can be really good.
…but most of the time its not.
its hit or miss
i usually go in the evening, maybe thats why? not sure
i usually go to their take out section, and normally order grilled chicken and potatoes.
when they shine, the chicken and potatoes are REALLY good.
but 8 out of 10 times its awful.
ive got potatoes that were super dry/​hard on the outside and oil filled inside (gross)
and chicken that tastes like its been sitting around for a long time and just reheated, and its like biting into leather.
im not exactly sure if i would recommend this place, maybe if you go mid afternoon you would get really good/​fresh meals all the time, or maybe if you eat-​in, which ive never done.
if the food quality was spot-​on every visit i would give them 5 stars and would recommend to everyone
ive gone many times, hoping that this visit i would get «lucky», but honestly my last few visits it seemed to get worse lol if thats possible.
im not sure if ill go here again?

Best meal for your money
Huge portions well seasoned meals great service,
When having a meal here it’s a very relaxing no turnover start with a glass of wine and a appatizer, then your main course
They are one of the best Portuguese chicken places in the GTA, But you must try the other dishes.
From fish to steak.
The bar prices are also great .
This is a chain they have a few stories in Toronto and one in Mississauga,
Best value for you money.

Bairrada Churrasqueira Grill is one of the few Portuguese restaurants in Toronto that actual Portuguese people go to for Portuguese food. There are absolutely no pretentious downtown hipster here to spoil an authentic food experience. Well, semi-​authentic. An authentic experience would involve the very least a show of live animal slaughter. If you want the authentic experience, it would include your involvement and a change of clothes. But… I don’t want to get off track.
The bowl of bread is complimentary. I’m not sure if this is normal practice because I don’t look at the items on my receipt, I just look at the final price, and if I’m comfortable with the number that correlates with what’s on the table, I’m satisfied and that’s the end of that part of my life. The bread varies in three kinds, and it comes with more than enough (frozen) butter for anyone’s enjoyment.
Apparently, this restaurant is most popular for takeaways. They even have a window dedicated solely for customers ordering takeaways. Romeo, my best pork-​chop friend told me that their kitchen is the cleanest kitchen in comparison to… other kitchens?
From the looks of it, I can’t argue otherwise. Those brushed metal surfaces looks as if they were installed yesterday.
The fish is good, the pork is okay, the cheese platter with the chilli oil sauce is beautiful, and the steak just makes me happy to be alive. My only complaint is that the calamari is too soggy, otherwise, the food here is as hardy and wholesome and other civilized euphemisms as it gets. Pair it with a bottle of Super Bock and life is great. The food takes time to arrive, because cooking takes time. I don’t understand why Portuguese restaurants serve some foods on metallic platters, which I have yet to learn the reason to. I have yet to experience the entire menu, but the steak & eggs is quickly becoming my usual when coming here.
If you were wondering ‘Bairrada’ meant, just check piece of paper used to coaster your plates.

We got take out from this place…
The chicken was dry and gross. We were given a tray covered in tin foil containing our chicken, rather than proper take out containers — nearly spilling it all in our car though it really wouldn’t have been any loss.
Ordered a side containing clams — and were given one clam.
This place sucks.
Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Save your money and try one of the other million chicken restaurants around the city.

I’ve gotten take out hear a few times and it was fine.
Yesterday I waited and regulars came in after me and they would serve them
Right away and ignore me. I didn’t even get any eye contact.
I will not be going back.

We had some business in the area, and I had always wondered about this chicken place, so we got takeout for 7 people and shared it for lunch at work.
*Chicken-​I wanted to love it-​I liked it. Found it a bit dry, especially the white meat.
*Potatoes-​the little round ones-​love. Creamy, savory, big winner.
*Rice-it’s rice.
*Veggie-it’s broccoli.
The piri piri sauce is über-​greasy. Mildish flavour.
Overall, the team loved it! They thoroughly enjoyed the foot, and the best thing is there’s plenty of leftovers for the next day.
Looked like a fun family restaurant, not very fancy, there were picnic benches outside which should lead to a nice outdoor supper come warmer months.
Now, I want to go back and try some of their seafood specialties like clams, shrimps and fish. Can’t wait!

Huge portions, delicious complimentary bread bowl, delicious meat, cheap booze, what else could you ask for? Driven by here several times in my neighborhood, buy just now got around to trying it. It was a pleasant surprise and far exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere is clean and simple with several large flat screen tvs, great for watching sports! Service was quick, friendly and professional. The prime rib was HUGE and for $ 14 could have fed three people! Chicken breast was perfect and also a generous serving. We will be back very soon!

Went to take out window so can’t comment on dine in. Needed to feed a hungry crowd of teenagers. Ordered 2 and a half whole chickens, a large order of Parisienne potatoes and a large rice. Total was $ 39.00! Way cheaper than ordering pizza or Swiss chalet for this crowd. Comfortably fed 6 kids and 2 adults and we didn’t finish it all. Yay! Leftovers! Chicken was delicious. Moist and flavorful. The piri piri sauce is very good but oily (which is normal I think). Teens really liked the food, great crowd pleaser for a Friday night when you don’t feel like cooking.

Bairrada’s a bustling, popular spot for Portuguese, and for good reason. While they’re best known for their BBQ chicken and multiple cod recipes, Bairrada has a rotating menu of weekly specials, so there’s different stuff every day. I just tried the stewed goat with potatoes and rice, and it was delicious (though not the best choice if you’re looking for a light meal).
This location is spun off from the first Bairrada on College (there’s also another, bigger location in Mississauga). There’s a dining room, as well as a separate take-​out entrance off on the side which connects to the kitchen. While you’re waiting for your order, you can watch them scramble about and lug huge pots of rice.
