My friends and I swung by Montreal, after a weekend in Tremblant.\n \nWe ended up in the neighborhood with reservations to Au Petit Extra, but missed the 2:30pm weekday lunch deadline. The bistro's host was nice enough to recommend Grill Barroso down the block (both are on rue Ontario Est).\n \nOur group of 7 were the only patron, so we were wary. And Portuguese food in Francophile-friendly Montreal?\n \nWe ordered a couple of appetizers (\"entrees\" in Quebec & France), and a bunch of main courses, most meats aside from the grilled sardine & grilled calamari.\n \nThe food was not bad! The hand cut potato chips were the best part of the meal. On the same block is also another Portuguese resto, called Bistro Le Porto. This was the first place suggested by Au Petit Extra, but they were already closed for lunch when we arrived.
