The Peri Peri Shack

What is The Peri Peri Shack? Anchoring a bustling stretch of Sheppard Avenue East in Avondale, The Peri Peri Shack strips Portuguese-style flame-grilled poultry down to its charred, fiery essentials. The room is unfussy and utilitarian, featuring an open kitchen line that puts live-fire grilling front and centre alongside clean, casual dining tables arranged for quick sit-downs and fast turnover.

The Peri Peri Shack Menu & What to Order The main draw is the bone-in chicken, marinated thoroughly and flame-kissed to order with heat profiles spanning from zesty Citrus & Herb and sweet Mango to blistering Very Hot and the intensely smoky Peri Nero. Solo diners should lock in the Half Chicken platter with seasoned fries or the aromatic Chicken & Rice bowl, while pairs and groups will get the best mileage from the Shack Pack, which bundles a whole bird with two large sides. Charred Prawns & Rice offer a worthy seafood detour, capped off by rich dessert slices sourced directly from The Cheesecake Factory.

Know Before You Go Service is counter-focused and strictly walk-in, and while delivery and takeout drivers crowd the entrance during peak dinner hours, grabbing a dine-in table is rarely an issue. The location is an easy walk east from Sheppard-Yonge station, operating daily from 11:00 a.m. with late-night closing times running until 10:40 p.m. most nights and extending to 11:40 p.m. on weekends.
