Portuguese Chicken in Barrie, Grilled Over Live Fire
Fresh Canadian chicken, dry brined with our signature proprietary BRAVA spice blend. Butterflied, flame grilled to order and served with your choice of sauce at 279 Yonge Street, Unit 8 in Barrie.
Looking for Portuguese chicken in Barrie? Portuguese-style chicken — churrasco, frango assado, piri piri or peri peri, however you know it — brings together open-flame grilling and a bold sauce. At BRAVA, preparation begins with our signature proprietary BRAVA spice blend, used to dry brine every protein.
BRAVA cooks it that way every day at 279 Yonge Street in Barrie. Fresh Canadian chicken is dry brined, butterflied and grilled over live fire only after you order. Nothing arrives frozen and nothing sits waiting under a heat lamp.
Choose your heat with house-made Piri Piri, mild or hot, or go with BRAVA Barbecue or Mediterranean lemon herb and garlic. Order a quarter, half or whole chicken, or fire grilled wings, and build a plate with signature roasted potatoes, BRAVA rice and a fresh salad such as the Village Greek.
Round it out the Portuguese way with empanadas, cod cakes and shrimp turnovers, and finish with a Pastel de Nata. Family packages feed the whole table, and catering is available for groups of 20 or more with 48 hours notice.
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, dry brined with our signature proprietary BRAVA spice blend 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.
