We had been really looking forward to some top notch churrasco chicken in Toronto. We were disappointed. A good churrasco restaurant emanates that delicious smell of chicken roasting on hot coals. You should be able to smell it from a block away. This place was lacking any smells at all. Even walking in through the front door...no heat from the fire, no sweaty cooks busily working away, no smell of churrasco. All I saw was a stack of cooked chickens in a warming oven in plain site. Once we got our food we understood...to us it seems that the chicken and all the food for that matter is previously cooked and just kept warm. Therefore, when we got our food, it was luke warm. The caldo verde was...
Seriously, when does a reservation for 12 guests at 7 PM finally get us seated at 8:15. While our server Pedro was very gracious and accommodating, he was so under supported that it took another 1/2 hour to get our orders in, when our first appetizers arrived (queso fresca) we asked for some bread to accompany, we were told they'd run out and then 10 minutes later we received some. Then our next order of appetizers took even longer because they'd been delivered to another table. We finally got the calmari, but again waited till probably 9:45 till meals started coming out. Some of the food was good mine not particularly, at some point the manager came out to what he thought was an apology. He...
Positive- plates provide large portions and are not bad but not great by any means of restaurant. That's it. Negative- service and overall atmosphere. We came in looking for dinner and ask if possible patio seats for 2 would be available and we were told that there isn't any and the waiter walked away from me. Yup. That is is what he did. I had to wait and waived he over to get his attention to ask if we can be placed on a "wait list' - I was met with rude face and a "sound of annoying eye-roll ". All that while some I guess well know client rolled past me and got a royal greeting. I felt like unless I know the owner/s and the staff - you are not welcome there. I should have left. Since we w...
I ordered the small portion of the Chicken Breast, which was marinated and grilled to perfection. It came with a side salad and rice. Despite being the small size, it came with two generous chicken breasts and a large serving of rice.
My dining companion chose the Salmon, which was served with boiled potatoes and steamed vegetables. The salmon had a nice char on both sides and was cooked evenly throughout. It was well-seasoned and came in a generous portion. While I wasn't a fan of simple boiled potatoes, the veggies were quite tasty.
To end our meal, we enjoyed Natas (Portuguese custard tarts). These tarts were baked in-house and were fresh, warm, with a creamy filling and a nice crust on...

Growing up in Toronto, my family and I always ate at Bairrada either takeout or we would stay in and eat. My mother who used to be a Chef even worked there briefly many moons ago. We ordered the Chouriço á Bombeiro (flaming sausage), the Bitoque (Steak with fried egg, rice and fries and Bacalhau Grelhado (Grilled Cod). It was a nice Saturday so we decided to sit out in their backyard patio. It's definitely a little slice of Portugal and if you want authentic Portuguese food you must go!Bom apetite!!!
Bairrada is the perfect spot for those seeking a relaxed and casual Portuguese dining experience. While the service may be a bit slow and inattentive, the delicious food and charming backyard patio more than make up for it. You'll be pleased with the generous portion sizes and pleasantly surprised by the affordable bill at the end of your meal.
Been coming here every summer ..only for the outdoor patio. Food quality has declined horribly, today it was raw veal chop with rubbery cap left on, overcooked frozen fries. Come here for sangria on a sunny patio. Not for the food.
Meet several friends at the restaurant and shared a number of plates including the seafood plate which was awesome, chicken and some appetizers. Great Portuguese food!

The chicken is excellent at this restaurant. We order takeout here a few times every month and it always hits the spot.
Grilled calamari was great. Lots of room on a large outdoor patio. Reasonable prices, can't go wrong!
