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.

Thank you!
