Here with a group of 10 people. They were very accommodating, the seating was great but also the food recommendations were on point. Very tasty food & lots of laughs were had.
If I could rate this place with six stars, I would.
The quality of the food was not bad but the portion of the orders are small compared with what you pay. The ventilation in the dining is not great & my clothes smelled like food after we left.
Comida saborosa, feijoada mais light e nao é pesada, só sentimos falta de um vinagrete pra acompanhar. Mas o local é bem legal e comida boa também. Pedi um suco de maracujá que estava uma delícia, bem docinho.

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!
We were craving pastel & decided to try Acajou Restaurant. Unfortunately, I left still craving pastel.
The taste was nothing like a traditional Brazilian pastel - it felt more like a fried dough with cheese inside, lacking flavor & crunch. The pao de queijo also didn't resemble the real Brazilian version at all.
Service was slow, & the food took even longer to come out, even though we only ordered two pastéis & a portion of pao de queijo.
Another downside is the smoke from the kitchen, which spreads throughout the entire restaurant.
Overall, my experience wasn't great. Maybe it's worth a visit if you're going for the barbecue, but if you're looking for good pastel, this is definitely not the place.
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.
Food was ok, took them very long to bring entries & main dishes, service was borderline rude & to top it all they charged for food & drinks we didn't order, make sure to check your bill before leaving this place.
Good food, service was quick & the owners are very friendly! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Brazilian food in Montreal!
My husband & I got the guacamole & shared the meat platter for two. Absolutely delicious! The hot sauce is unmatched & the service was impeccable. Great atmosphere too. Would have given more stars if I could.
