In 1992 our Rei dos Leitões first opened its doors in London Ontario. The Vieira family bought the restaurant in 2001 introducing it outside the Portuguese community, who then coined us as King of the Pigs. Soon the restaurant became well known in the city for its unique charcoal-infused chicken and their very own signature sauces. Our version of Piri Piri sauce became a must-have with any order. The main style of our cuisine is churrasqueira, meaning an open flame BBQ. Today we use hard wood charcoal as the only source of fuel for cooking chickens, giving it our unique flavours.

 

In 2009 we opened our second location in Cherryhill Mall, naming it King of the Pigs, an already popular name with our customers. With the two locations, the restaurant is becoming ever so popular in London and surrounding area. Taking us from a hidden gem to a well-established staple.
