Amazing friendly Portuguese ambiance! They make you feel like you are at home. Great service & great food! The octopus was the best I have had in Canada so far & the Passion Fruit mousse was a nice light savory end to the meal. I hope your experience is as good as mine.
Went for a special occasion. Even with a full house & no reservation, the owner found room for us at the bar. The bartender & staff were fantastic, ensuring clean cutlery & plates after every serving. The food was excellent, with tender octopus & chorizo. The drinks were delicious & the staff made the night unforgettable. I have been to a number of Portuguese resteraunts & this was by far the best.

Aldea has a bit of everything from Portugal! Real nice environment, Portuguese Fado, Futebol playing in the TV (sometimes Hockey), & food reflects seafood in the core!

Had an excellent lunch at Aldea an authentic Portuguese flavors at their best. The fried cod was perfectly crisp on the outside & tender inside, a true highlight of the meal. The service was warm & the atmosphere inviting, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine.
Great evening at Aldea. We chose tapas & enjoyed each dish. Our waiter was the best. We had shrimp, scallops, salmon tartare & fresh cheese. A lovely Portuguese red finished it off. Their plated entrees looked great. Recommend & will visit again, next trip to Montreal.
The food was authentic Portuguese, fresh fish & seafood with quality ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil. All dishes were delicious with nice presentation. It felt almost Like we were in Portugal. Loved the experience, the service was great & attentive. I recommend this restaurant for those who appreciate Portuguese Cuisine, will be back for sure . Thank you
Our new favourite place. Family run business with dedicated people. Food is excellent & great Portuguese wine selection. Very friendly & nice ambiance.
We are in Montreal for the Fringe. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Aldea. I had the morue & my partner had the grilled sea bass. We thought the moules appetizer was so good we slurped the last of the broth with the Portuguese bread. The service was very friendly & answered our questions about the menu & choosing a wine. It was a beautiful summer evening to savor the food & company.
Aldea is one of the really authentic & delicious Portuguese places in Montreal. Had a sardine filet appetizer which was really yummy & a Monkfish rice that was divine. First time here for lunch but it's just as good as dinner here!
Amazing! Vous aimez le poisson? Vous êtes à la bonne place. Une cuisine raffinée & 100% originale Portuguese. Il faut réserver pour ne pas manquer cette expérience. Excellent service.
