“ Ordered food for an event that was hot, delicious, fresh, and plentiful. I ordered grilled cod, Bacalhau a Bras, and chicken. Definitely will be coming back for more. The food was ready on time and it was convenient to pick up. This is at the location on St Clair. ”
“ Authentic Portuguese cuisine. I was the guest of my friend Vasco who chose the restaurant because it's Authentic. I had the goat because you don't often have that choice. It was delicious. Vasc had class and pork, Heather had veal. Every meal looked great. Service was friendly and attractive. I don't often get a hand shake and a thanks, nice to meet you on my first visit! ”
“ Haven’t eaten in the restaurant, just the take out lunch counter. Their chicken with potatoes or rice is usually my go to order there, always with an extra container of their house spicy sauce. But today I had their shepherds pie, which isn’t something they always have, and it was fantastic. 10/10 for quick, delicious lunch food, and reasonably priced. ”
“ The food and service at Burrata Churrasqueira Grill was awesome. The price point for 5 mains, an appetizer, and desserts was really good and was more than enough to feed our party of 5. The Frango no Churrasco (B.B.Q. Chicken) was awesome. The chicken was moist, tender and savoury. The potatoes and rice were also delicious. Would definitely recommend. The Letao a barrada (Roasted Suckling Pig) was good. The pork was tender and savoury. The pork skin was crunchy and delicious. Wish there was more meat packed into the leg and rib pieces. The Lulas Grelhadas (Grilled Calamari) was good. The calamari was grilled perfectly and had great texture and flavour. The veggies and potatoes were good as well. The Bacahau c/ Natas (Cod Fish with Cream) was awesome. The baked cod fish was soft, tender and delicious. The baked cheese, potatoes, and cream sauce were good and complimented well with the cod fish. This was our favourite dish. Would definitely recommend. The Mexilhao (Mussels) were good. The mussels were perfectly cooked :) The tomato and pepper sauce was delicious. Chourico a Bombeiro (Flaming Sausage) was good. It was cool how they grilled the sausage in an open flame at our table in this cute looking pork shaped dish (see the video and picture). The Nata (Portuguese Custard Tarts) with Cinnamon was fresh and awesome. They make some good Nata here. Would definitely recommend. ”
“ Holy Hot Sauce, they call it Piri Piri, I call it Bang On Flavour. The best combination of spices and heat and yes, you can put it on everything or do like the Portuguese and eat it with fresh bread. They now sell them in house, I totally recommend buying a bottle or two. Have I mentioned that this place Bairrada on St Clair west, is awesome! The food is great the service is great, one person who always goes out of his way to make his customers happy is Hugo, I always ask him whats fresh he’s always been right and always with a smile. Try the jumbo shrimp is succulent and delicious. ”
