Portuguese immigrants came to Canada by the thousands from the 1950s, and in Montreal they concentrated in Little Portugal along Boulevard Saint-Laurent between Rue Pine and Rue Marie-Anne. Time Out credits Romados, at the corner of Rachel and de Bullion, with introducing the wider Montreal public to the chicken. Ma Poule Mouillee opened on Rue Rachel in 2013.
