O BairradinoThe staff at O Bairradino on Lansdowne tend to be brusque but efficient - don't get in their way and you will get what you want. The grilled chicken is on the dry side, but its enticingly smoky flavour lingers pleasantly on the tongue. Parisienne potatoes have a leathery, toothsome exterior but a rewardingly creamy middle. The rice is bathed in oil, but the garnish of a half-dozen black olives is a nice touch. Half-chicken platter, $10.

I use to live in the area and my family & I would be there every weekend buying a whole chicken and some rice & potatoes.
Unfortunately, we moved quite far so It wasn't convenient anymore to go there. Anytime Im in the mood for some Delicious Portuguese Food, I don't care how long it takes to get there, I'll be there.

Typical low-rent Portuguese churrasqueira. There is absolutely nothing special about this place. Ok for a quick takeout, but the food is greasy and flavours unsubtle. There are much better choices elsewhere in the hood, like Eduarda's or Piri Piri on Dupont.

The best I've had in Toronto. WAAAAY better than the dry, leathery rubbish they sell at Piri Piri (O Bairradino has bigger chickens that taste better for cheaper than Piri Piri)

To say that Eduarda's on Dupont is superior to O'Barradino could not be further from the truth. I can't count the number of times that I have had rice and potatoes that I have had to pitch out from Eduarda's because the oil they cook them with is rancid. O'Barradino is always packed, and thus the turnover is extremely high. Can't get fresher or tastier Portuguese food in the West end. $6 including tax for a quarter chicken with rice and salad or rice and potatoes can't be beat either. A loyal O'Barradino convert to the core. And I've been pretty much everywhere in TO to try Portuguese chicken.
