BPC Best Portuguese Chicken

It was a Saturday afternoon, and we were hungry. We wanted something simple, relatively quick, and not too expensive. BPC popped up on the recommendations, so we decided to give it a go.
Both Lee and I had quarters with rice and potatoes. The chicken was great, the rice was a little bit crunchy in parts (overdone, or a little bit dry? not sure which,) and although I liked the potato balls, Lee wasn’t a huge fan of them.
The piri-​piri sauce was pretty good, although a little bit on the tame side. Even the super hot was what I would only call medium. I will say that to be fair, I’m more used to South American piri-​piri sauce, so that might just be a cultural difference.
Would I go again? I would. I think it was a good value for the money, but I would probably avoid the rice and get a different side next time.
They seem to do a really bang up business for catering though, as there were tons of trays of chickens going out the door.

Not an expert on Portuguese Chicken but wanted to treat my Brazilian friend to some familiar food while he’s away from his home country. The result was an affordable meal of succulent rotisserie chicken with comfortable servings of rice and potatoes. They have a Tuesday family special too: $ 17 for a whole chicken plus two sides.

Warning-​Got a family? Go somewhere else. Sharing food here is frowned on. I usually don’t give one star for a place that has good food. But my experience during my last meal was off putting. I came in late afternoon for lunch. Been here a few times. This time I ordered a half chicken meal to share with the wife and 3yr old. Got a few fish cakes on the side. We were not extremely hungry. I asked for a second plate and got a look, followed by a warning that I would be charged $ 5 «sharing fee». I was planning to look at a few other things on the menu but that comment stopped me from spending another dollar. It will be the last dollar I spend here. Service trumps food. Too bad for a place that could and should do better for the area. So disappointed that a business would opt to threaten its customers with a charge for not ordering enough food.

The chicken was good… but for us, based on past experience sampling other Portuguese chicken, not the best.
We’ve had frango piri piri in Portugal and by comparison, we felt BPC fell short.
We’ve also had excellent Portuguese chicken in Montréal.
Yes, BPC’s chicken was very moist, but we were disappointed with the piri piri sauce, as well as the potatoes.
Had wanted to try BPC for quite a while, but having now done so, won’t rush to return.

Had their Tuesday special for 1 chicken and two sides. Had to wait for the potatoes and rice because I guess they ran out and were in the process of making it. Really nice about it though and made sure you were well aware of how long it would be. People kept ordering so you know it is worth the wait.
Took home and it was still good. Family enjoyed it.

This is a wonderful little place at Queensway & Islington. Go there a lot for Friday take out, or dinner before a movie (Theatre is diagonally across the street). Great food, Chicken, Sole, Pork Bellies, all of which I highly recommend. Get the Piri Piri sauce on the the side for first timers! Great helpful staff, who remember you, even if you are only once a month, or haven’t visited in a while. You can’t beat the prices, especially for the quality and quantity you get.
I used to have to drive ½ hour east to get this kind of authentic cuisine. Everything is cooked there in front of you and the aroma just makes you hungrier. Warning, Eat-​In is small 20 – 25 people capacity, but very nice tables and décor. Great place to take a date in my experience.

I can’t believe I’ve never written a review for this place as we go there pretty often. I like to just run in sometimes during lunch and get a quarter chicken breast ($ 4.75) to eat with my salad.
So anyway, the food is consistently excellent and I find the staff to be friendly. The chicken is very, very moist, flavourful and cooked through. The piri piri sauce has the right amount of heat and it’s not oily and the rice and potatoes are always cooked to perfection. The real star of the show, however, is on Fridays when they serve the bacalao — OMG, it’s like one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. After an old Portuguese boyfriend introduced me to it, I always search it out when I go to Portuguese restaurants. The portion is huge, they use way more fish than potatoes, it’s so well spiced and not too salty and they serve it with a super fresh salad and some olives. So good like someone’s Portuguese grandmother made it. My husband loves, loves, loves their custard tarts too.
They do a lot of catering, especially in the area. The restaurant is just east of Islington (on the north side). They have designated street parking too that just runs off the road — never had an issue with parking.

Good food and cuts the chicken right from the rotisserie oven. Salad was a little too oily but otherwise great service, would come again

Legit provider of tasty chicken. On Tuesdays, they have a special $ 17 gets you a full bird and 2 good sized containers of side dishes (rice, parisian potatoes, or salad). Every other day is still only $ 19.
I picked a combo up when driving through the area and it was still warm enough to serve once I got it back to home downtown. While I could argue that Toronto does have better Portuguese chicken joints, this seems to be the best in this area of the GTA.

Had a half chicken meal for $ 11 today. Good portion, juicy chicken and drink included !!

First time at BPC, I am Portuguese so I’ve tried many places, and have to say this is one of the best! So fresh, and taste like home!

Stopped by here for dinner since the reviews were pretty good for the place.
There aren’t a lot of tables here, so be warned (probably sits about 20 people) but we arrived on a Friday at 6:15 or so and there was only one other customer there. All the food is ready, so you are just telling them what you want and the food is very quick. You order at the counter and find a table for yourself (no service).
$ 11 including taxes at the time (January 2015) gets you half a chicken, 2 sides and a drink. Price is good, the portions are very generous (half a chicken is pretty big). I got the salad with potatoes and my sister got the potatoes with rice. She liked the rice but we both thought the potatoes were a bit bland, salad was okay. The chicken leg half I thought was pretty good, although the breast I wasn’t a fan of.
All in all, it was a good meal, I wouldn’t make my way back here since I don’t live nearby, but it is worth trying.

Stopped in with a friend for a quick bite, there was a line up but it moved fast. The staff were friendly and helpful for us first timers, and since it was our first time there, they gave us a free soda. I have never had such great Portuguese Chicken! The portion wasn’t huge, but it was a good size. Pricing was fair. This restaurant lived up to their name!
Bottom line: Good size portions. Fairly prized.
Excellent service. Amazing food!

BPC is an excellent choice for rotisserie chicken for lunch or for a quick bite. I frequent this restaurant quite frequently as it provides non processed, freshly prepare meals.
Lunch for under $ 10. Feed your entire family for less then $ 40.
They cater as well which works for our business functions and meals. It is a much better lunch choice than office pizza.
The space is always clean and friendly and for the price, quality, it’s a lunch spot 4 stars.

This is my go to rotisserie chicken place in South Etobicoke. Its casual but a small place. Not sure what classifies as portuguese chicken?
Cooked by portuguese speaking servers?
The chicken is tender but quite salty. Which is how I like it. Salad is always fresh and the little potatoes are tender and deelish.
Its not authentic piri piri hot sauce. Its Franks hot sauce. Again I like it as Franks is quite salty. As well as you can’t pull the wool over my eyes in regards to piri piri.
Portions are good and fair price.
No grilled chicken.

Best chicken PERIOD! Skip Swiss Chalet and go straight to BPC. $ 9 for breast and choice of 2 sides (rice, roast potatoes, or salad). Moist, perfectly roast bird and decent sides make a perfect meal. Free custard tart if you like them on Facebook, Unilocal review or google+. Guarantee you will be back once you try it!

Ordered chicken for a large dinner and a full dinner for my family at home. Chicken was moist (always tricky with Portuguese chicken) and perfectly seasoned.
Our order was ready more or less on time and nice and hot so it didn’t need reheating.
Would definitely order again.

Very nice place for a lunch. Try the Half chicken meal with potatoes and salad and beans.

Quaint little spot on the Queensway just east of Islington.
This spot is brightly lit with a nice clean small dining area and lots of fresh light during the daytime threw the big storefront glass windows. Enjoy the sun in the summertime and eat on the small patio. It’s a bit loud — being situated right on the street — but a nice cordoned off spot to enjoy the food an some fresh air.
The service is quick and T&E food is delicious. It’s not the best Portuguese chicken I’ve EVER had, but it rivals pretty much any other in this city.
Don’t forget the custard tarts for desert. Great finish to an inexpensive enjoyable meal out.

Fresh, quick and delicious!
It’s Portuguese chicken in the west end! Cafeteria style, good for eat in or take out!
Price is great we enjoyed 2 quarter chicken meals with rice, potatoes and salad for and a 1 drink for $ 18!!! Winner winner super chicken dinner! (Or lunch in our case!!)
I will come back! Perfect for a quick, delicious meal!
