Brazas Portugal

Excellent food, excellent ambiance and amazing service.

Ordered ¼ chicken-​leg, and after a few bites, I requested ¼ more. Delicious! House white went very well. Requested a cake to-​go with ½ chocolate and ½ flan. Now I wish I had two. Highly recommended.

I gave this resto a 5 star rating because the service was good and the food is delicious I’ve eaten Brazilian food but not Portuguese food. I like that the meat is grilled with so much flavour. I plan on going back in the near future it was yummy. The waitress advised us to take the strawberry daiquiri which was good I liked my overall experience :).

The wife and I wanted to try out some Portuguese cuisine and with a little help with my solid collection of Unilocal bookmarks I found this well liked location, in the heart of lovely Old St. Rose… one of the few genuine Portuguese restos in Laval!
The ambiance is pretty dim with warm colors that set a nice mood for those of you who enjoy that intimate or romantic setting. We were promptly seated in the back, warm and far away from the cold winter harshness and isolated well enough so our conversation was kept private.
After some contemplation we went with the ‘Prato de Carnes’ (meat platter!) which consisted of chicken, portuguese sausages and pork. While we waited we were provided with a huge warm bread bun which we promptly ravaged.
After 15 minutes or so, our meal was served in a huge plate filled with delicious looking meats and a side plate with french fries with homemade mayo.
Let me just state that the chicken was out of this world good, so much so it completely surpassed everything else. The moistness… THE MOISTNESS PEOPLE… and the taste… BY GAWD the TASTE!!! I must go back just for this!
The sausages, they were good… but completely forgettable after tasting that chicken… the pork? an afterthought!
The chicken folks… the chicken!!! Why are you still reading this?
The side fries were good as well… and the home mayo were delicious… they should provide it in a bigger bowl though. :)
For dessert, we went with Portuguese tarts… they were pretty tasty.
The price-​tag is about average and worth it.
The service was decent as well.
All in all, somewhere I’d def go back.

What a Taste !!! One of the best grilled chicken i ever had. Ordered the spicy Portuguese whole chicken. We enjoyed it till the last bite. Very well cooked, full of flavour. I cannot comment a lot on the restaurant as i ordered to go. A small place with simple décor, i was well welcomed and order was fast and professional. I would definitely recommend it bases on the food and will definitely dine in next time. 5 star for the freshness, flavour and taste.

Small and quaint, as most Portuguese restaurants are. But this one actually delivers the experience as well. The staff was friendly, the food was spot on. Everything from the cod croquettes appetizers to the chicken was great, including grilled calamari and grilled cod with chickpeas. And all at a fair price. Too bad it’s to far from home for takeout.

This place confirmed what I already knew: In order to find good Portuguese food you have to travel away from the big city.
In the Vancouver (B.C.) region we had to go to Maple Ridge for Sagres and now while living in Montréal we seem to have to travel to Laval for this place.
Super affordable, amazing octopus, lovely people and the promise of Carne Alentejana next time we visit.
Not to mention a great wine selection and the most amazing dessert EVER: Heavenly Cream. No seriously, you have to try it.
So in love with this little gem.
