The portions are huge, and the service is top-notch. If you’re looking for amazing food and a warm atmosphere, this is the place to be!
First time here. Ordered off menu-wide selection of Portuguese fare ranging from chicken, pork, beef and seafood. Huge portions! Took some time so be patient and it will be worth the wait. There is also a take-out area of different items not on the menu. Casual atmosphere. Service is sufficient - no rush to get you out but not overly attentive at the same time. Always available if you need something or brought to their attention. Steady stream of diners which appeared to be repeat customers (IYKYK). I would come back to try something from their take-out counter.
An absolute treat every time I’m in TO! Service is excellent, friendly and professional. The food is consistent and delicious no matter what you order. The daily menus are great to discover authentic Portuguese dishes. The bacalhau com nata is to die for!
The cowboy steak and eggs is a Must-Try! Seriously, if you go to O Patio Churrasqueria, you absolutely HAVE to order the Roasted half chicken with Salad and Rice as well. The rest of the meal including the house dessert was amazing too. Every platter are worth the visit.
This hidden gem is a must try. I had to circle back twice to find the driveway to get into this place. As it is not obvious how to find the entrance. Once I figure it out and you that this place must be good if it's still standing knowing how hard it was to find. I went down the stairs in this building and was an old school style restaurant. I don't know how long this place has been open, but it looks like it's been around a really long time. As you walk in, there's a hot table set up for lunch hour and take out. Into the right. There were several tables. As you walk further into the restaurant, there is a indoor outdoor patio of the very cool feel to it. A waitress status and quickly brought us some water and took our order. She was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations. We tried the cowboy steak and the grilled cod. Cowboy steak was massive and the fries were extra special. Steak was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the fried egg was slightly overcooked, but you always want it a bit runny so that the yolk runs onto the steak. The grilled cod was spot on and everything tasted amazing. Overall, the winning dish was the grill cod. I highly recommend it. Portion is quite nice and the flavor was excellent. Finish lunch with espresso. Now I need to power nap after all that food. I highly recommended. Just don't expect a new modern atmosphere. This is a first class legacy traditional Portuguese restaurant.
We have frequented this Portuguese restaurant for years now and have never had a complaint. The food is always fresh and the chicken always juicy. They offer complimentary olives and sliced fresh bread. You can buy a large pop for the table if you want to save a little money on drinks. We usually buy a whole chicken and that’s good enough for four people.
The food at this place is delicious. Everything feels very authentic and flavourful.
