Brasas Churrasqueira Rotisserie & Grill: A Mississauga Spotlight

Brasas Churrasqueira Rotisserie & Grill, on Burnhamthorpe Road West, is a Portuguese-style rotisserie counter built around one thing: flame-grilled, spice-rubbed whole chicken cooked the traditional churrasqueira way. It’s a small, mostly takeout operation with counter seating, not a full sit-down restaurant, but it’s built a loyal following of regulars who come specifically for the chicken.

The signature order is the whole-chicken combo: a full bird off the grill, rice, a choice of roasted potatoes or fries, and a salad. Reviewers consistently single out the potatoes as a standout alongside the chicken itself, and the char and spice on the skin as the thing that keeps people coming back, even though opinions are more mixed on price and how long the wait can run at peak times.

Because it’s counter-service and takeout-focused, expect a line on Friday and Saturday evenings rather than a quiet sit-down meal. The restaurant is closed Mondays and generally open midday into the evening Tuesday through Sunday; exact closing times have varied a bit across sources, so it’s worth a quick call ahead to (905) 593-2727 or a check of their website before you go, especially around holidays.

Brasas is located at 2385 Burnhamthorpe Road West, Mississauga.
