About Us

Welcome to Imperio Grill, ranked in the top 5 Portuguese restaurants in the city!!

 

Imperio Grill has been in business for 16 years, proudly owned and operated by the Araujo family. Carla Araujo is the current owner, her father Serafin is the culinary genius in the kitchen, and her husband Bachir Razzouk manages the dining room and staff. From the moment you step into Imperio Grill, you'll feel the warm, family-oriented atmosphere that makes our restaurant so special with impeccable service.  "Imperio" means "empire" in Portuguese, a name chosen to honor Emperor Afonso Henriques, the father of Portugal who led the country to independence in 1143. 

 

Our chef, Serafin Araujo crafts dishes with authentic Portuguese flavors. With over 40 years of culinary experience, Serafin relies on his instincts rather than measurements to create exceptional dishes where every detail matters. Our menu features a variety of grilled meats, fish, and seafood, including house specialties like Portuguese chicken with spicy sauce and a sumptuous fish and seafood plate. Each dish is perfectly seasoned, often with a spicy kick, and our daily lunch menu offers delicious options at great prices.

 

Imperio Grill boasts a carefully curated selection of beer and a wine list featuring Portuguese private imports and affordable house wines, perfectly complementing our flavourful dishes.
