Churrasqueira Galo, Portuguese restaurant in Rochechouart, Paris, France.
Churrasqueira Galo is a grilled meat restaurant in the 9th arrondissement of Paris specializing in Portuguese preparations. The menu features charcoal-cooked beef and fish alongside house-made fries, rice, and salt cod croquettes prepared in full view of diners.
The restaurant opened on Rue de Dunkerque in an area bridging the Barbès and Pigalle neighborhoods, establishing Portuguese grilling methods in Paris. This location became known for delivering traditional charcoal-cooked preparations to the French capital.
The restaurant embodies Portuguese grilling traditions through its open kitchen concept where meats and fish cook over charcoal. Visitors can watch the preparation methods that define how Portuguese people approach their meals.
The restaurant operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 PM and Saturdays until 11:45 PM, with meals averaging 25 euros per person. Be aware that the open grill produces significant heat and smoke, so expect a warm environment and the characteristic smell of charcoal cooking.
The smoke and charcoal aroma that fills the dining space is part of the authentic experience rather than something to avoid. Regular customers often say this unfiltered sensory aspect is exactly what makes the meal feel genuinely Portuguese.
