About us

Grillado’s is a casual dining restaurant that focuses on grilling the very best Portuguese chicken with a South African twist. That twist is our variety of world-famous peri-peri sauces. Located in the heart of Montreal, Mississauga, Milton, and Cambridge, it has quickly become known for its fun and engaging atmosphere, as well as its multitude of flavors that keep customers happy and coming back for more.

As a griller, your role is centered on precision, timing, and a deep understanding of heat. You aren't just flipping burgers; you are responsible for managing the most intense station in the kitchen, ensuring that proteins are cooked to exact specifications while maintaining high standards of food safety and quality.

As a prep cook, you will be washing, cutting, and preparing food and ingredients for cooking. You will also prepare all of the kitchen tools necessary for cooking and cleaning, wash dishes, clear up messes, organize the storage areas and shelves in the kitchen, and respond to the needs of chefs and other cooking staff. Additionally, you will ensure that the food is properly stored and safely handled for consumption.

A good prep cook is an essential part of the kitchen staff, especially as an aide to a chef, as they help maximize the workflow in the kitchen.
