Ça faisait longtemps que de belles saveurs ne m'avaient pas fait autant plaisir. Honnêtement, c'était délicieux. Je recommande vivement. Le plat de poulet aux arachides? Incroyable.
Les Caïpirinhas sont délicieux & toute la nourriture est extraordinaire, goût de cuisine brésilienne je recommande pour ceux qui veulent manger les plats authentique du Brésil

Le restaurant était incroyable, mais le meilleur, c'était le service ! L'homme & la femme qui nous ont servis étaient tellement sympathiques & drôles. La nourriture était spectaculaire ! Je le recommande mille fois !
Delicious food & great people. We had the meat pastel, picanha & casava fries & the churrascao. Everything was very tasty! I would recommend to anyone coming to Montreal.
The food was great, & the servers were very polite & helpful. Amazing culinary experience that tastes like real, authentic Brazilian food! Would recommend with my eyes closed.
We were warmly welcomed by the restaurant's owner, Brett. We were very impressed with the excellent quality & abundance of the food. The waitstaff were top-notch, & the Brazilian music was very pleasant & at a suitable volume. I strongly recommend this restaurant, not only for Brazilians, but Canadians & visitors from all over the world.
Nossa experiência no restaurante Acajou fois simplesmente incrível, do início ao fim. Fomos recebidos com um atendimento excepcional, e cada prato nos fez sentir como se estivéssemos no Brasil. Começamos com uma entrada de pastel, que estava maravilhoso, e coxinhas perfeitas. Em seguida, pedimos um bobó de camarao, uma feijoada e um prato de iscas de picanha com mandioca frita - tudo impecável, saboroso e muito bem servido. O dono e a dona vieram até a nossa mesa nos receber pessoalmente e bater um papo, o que tornou tudo ainda mais especial. Todos os atendentes foram extremamente gentis e atenciosos. Sem dúvida, vamos voltar e recomendamos para todos que queiram uma verdadeira experiência brasileira em Montreal!
Our experience at Acajou was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed & every dish made us feel like we were in Brazil. We started with delicious pastel & perfectly made coxinhas. Then we had shrimp bobó, feijoada, & grilled picanha strips with fried cassava - everything was flawless, flavorful, & generously served. The owners came to our table to greet us & chat, which made the experience even more special. All the staff were incredibly kind & attentive. We'll definitely come back & highly recommend Acajou to anyone looking for a true Brazilian experience in Montreal!
I came here with both my parents hoping to eat a good piece of meat. & that's exactly what we did.
We ordered a plate that included pork, beef, chicken & chorizo with beans & rice. It was very well done, everything was juicy & tasty. I loved it.
We also ordered Pastel with cheese & with meat. The cheese one was really good, we kept ordering them. The beef one on the other side I felt like it was missing spice. Maybe adding some rice or a sauce so it feels richer because it just felt like cooked ground beef with salt.
The Manga juice was delicious, exactly what I expected. Sweet & refreshing.
One of the workers came to our table & let us taste his special spicy sauce & it was very very good.
The ambiance felt good, like a family restaurant you would visit after & event or to celebrate something. The music selection was good too, everyone was laughing & having a good time. The tables could be a little more further from eachother thought.
Even if it's a little expensive (20$/28$), I would recommend & I hope to come back cause it was delicious & if the food is delicious I don't mind the price.
Good food, service was quick & the owners are very friendly! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Brazilian food in Montreal!

Everything there is excellent. From the service to the food! If you like Brazilian food or if you don't know yet, I highly recommend Acajou! The feijoada is amazing & the picanha platter as well.
I was looking for a Brazilian restaurant around the hotel area & found this restaurant online. The vibe of the restaurant was very nice, as there was artwork all over the walls. The music was some traditional "pagode" so it added to the Brazilian atmosphere. One drink I'd recommend anyone to try is the Suco de Maracuja there. It was so delicious. For the price, the portion sizes are VERY generous & it was also delicious at the same time. Overall, I'd recommend anyone whos looking to eat actual brazilian food to go there
This place is so SO underrated! The food was great, tasty & fresh & the service was impeccable. I ordered a Caipirinha & it was great! There were not a lot of people but the atmosphere was still great. I would highly recommend this place & would go back for sure!

Highly recommend! I went with my family to celebrate my son's birthday, we were very satisfied with the friendly staffs. Every dish was deliciously tasty. Personally, I recommend Bobo de camarau that is shrimps cooked in a cassava cream with coconut milk, it was delicious.
