Aldea, it is a traditional cuisine inspired by our Portuguese villages that invites you to sharing and conviviality. It is the small village of Portugal, in the heart of the Plateau Mont-Royal.
Aldea consistently delivers authentic Portuguese flavors with fresh seafood, tender octopus, mussels, bacalhau and a seafood platter that showcases quality ingredients. Service is repeatedly described as attentive, warm and professional, making guests feel welcome whether at a small table or a larger gathering. The atmosphere is noted as cozy and family run with a lively yet refined setting that often feels like a brief trip to Portugal. Value is praised with generous portions and reasonable prices alongside a well curated wine selection. Conversations reflect consistency across visits, with meals arriving well plated and served at the right temperature. Many reviewers highlight the menu variety from tapas to main courses and the chef's ability to tailor dishes to guests. Occasions are celebrated here and recommendations to friends and visitors come naturally, underscoring Aldea as a go to dining experience. All in all the dining experience blends traditional Portuguese cuisine with modern touches, earning high marks for food, service and ambiance.
If you ask me, Aldea is one of the best (if not the best) portuguese retaurants in town. You feel welcomed by their staff who are kind & professional, & the food quality is always exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to locals & out-of-towners alike. Great date spot if you want to impress, & also excellent for a business lunch. It's a real beauty of a place!

Aldea, a Portuguese restaurant, that serves big, hearty & delicious food for a very good price. Everything we took that night from the table d'hôte was delicious. Some dishes may have been a little bit too salty but barely anything that affected our entire experience. The waiters there gave excellent service too. I highly recommend it! We will be back!

We were very very positively surprised by how simple quality can be. From the service provided by Mr Luis, to the quality of the food. The food was very flavorful without being over seasoned. The bread soup with seafood was on point, by far the best I've had in Canada & one of the best of all time. Highly recommend & definitely will return.
C'est un restaurant que je suis allé plusieurs fois & que j'ai recommandé à mes amis. La dernière fois, j'étais très insatisfait & je ne le recommanderai plus à personne. J'ai trouvé 2 cheveux dans mon assiette & en ce qui concerne le service que je recevais habituellement, je n'en ai pas fait de reclamation. À la fin, quand on nous a demandé comment était la nourriture, je lui ai dit que j'avais trouvé deux cheveux dans l'assiette, le monsieur a dit pourquoi tu ne m'as rien dit. Je lui ai dit que j'étais genée. Il est parti sans même s'excuser de cette situation. Je me suis senti très déçu de ce comportement.

Comme d'habitude un service impeccable & la qualité de la nourriture est excellente.
Je recommande ce restaurant fortement à tous ceux qui veulent goûter la bonne culinaire portugaise.

We had a wonderful time at Aldea. LOUIS gave us a great service. We tried several items & we loved them all! Highly recommend fried Octopus, calamari, filet mignon & Shrimp skewer, fish of the day, & veal chops. For dessert we loved the passion fruits the most.
Serveur à demi sympathique (pas très souriant), à demi aimable, mais excellent rapport qualité-prix pour la nourriture qui est aussi très bonne. Table d'hôte à recommander & vous mangerez à votre faim. Je recommande !!!
