Portuguese Chicken in Barrie, Grilled Over Live Fire

Garlic, citrus and paprika. Butterflied, flame grilled to order and finished with house-made piri piri. Fresh Canadian chicken at 279 Yonge Street, Unit 8 in Barrie.

Portuguese-style chicken — churrasco, piri piri, peri peri, however you know it — starts with a bright garlic and citrus marinade, then relies on one thing: an open flame hot enough to crisp the skin while the fat renders away.

BRAVA cooks it that way every day in Barrie. Fresh Canadian chicken is marinated in house, butterflied and grilled only after you order. Nothing arrives frozen and nothing sits waiting under a heat lamp.

Build a plate with signature roasted potatoes, BRAVA rice, a fresh-cut salad and the sauce you like — BRAVA Original, smoky BBQ, or piri piri when you want heat. Quarter, half and whole chicken are available, plus family meals for the table.

Why BRAVA

What Makes It Different

Live Fire, Not a Rotisserie

Open flame grilling in the churrasqueira tradition gives char and smoke that an oven or rotisserie cabinet cannot produce.

House-Made Piri Piri

Citrus, garlic and layered chili heat, mixed in our kitchen rather than poured from a supplier's jug.

Fresh, Never Frozen

Fresh Canadian chicken, marinated in house and grilled to order for every guest.

Never Fried

No batter, no breading, no deep fryers anywhere in the kitchen. Flavour comes from fire instead of oil.
