So so good 🤤 seafood rice is of my fav rice ever in any cuisine I've had!! So flavorful & packed w fresh seafood. Portion is very good so worth the price, & excellent service too! Would definitely come back 💃
Everything about this restaurant is top notch. We just waked on the street when we noticed a great atmosphere in the window. We decided to try it & everyone, four of us, thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. We had fish of the day, octopus, filet, muscles. All were fresh & great tasting. The service was also top notch. It appears that restaurant owners run it. The care & pride is evident & comes across through great service. Thank you.
Excellent food!! Highly recommend! All of their plates are delicious, have never been disappointed. From seafood to any meat platter, to vegeterian or gluten free options. Very pleasant staff.
Au delà de mes espérances! Nourritures de qualités goûteuse pleine de saveur & le services TELLEMENT agréable! Louis a été particulièrement fantastique mais tout le reste de l'équipe aussi. Je recommande!!!

Had supper with friends there last night & it was delicious. The owner & staff really take good care of you. Pricing is VERY reasonable. Will definitely go back
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.
Little Portugal has many Portuguese restaurants to choose from. Choose Aldea. Grilled meat & fish - lovely. Not so hungry? Tapas offerings created with care. It's a bit noisy but that only means the place is full of people who know good food when they eat it. The flan almost floated off my plate. Stroll along St. Laurent to aid in digestion. The maitre d' is convivial & helpful. Parking? It's Montréal!
The food was delicious & the portions were huge so even though the price isn't low, it's very justified given what you receive. Our servers were polite, the right amount of attentive, & even playful enough to make a joke about my girlfriend & I ordering the exact same dish instead of 2 different ones to share. The seating was cozy & the acoustics of the room were pleasant. I'd happily come here again.

Très bon resto portugais! Ça vaut la peine le détour ! & les serveurs sont aussi très gentils & offrent un exellent service. Ne tardez pas pour y goûter les dessent sont excellents également.
Que vous soyez ou non friand de cuisine Portugaise on parle ici d un temple de l art culinaire. Les mets y sont savoureux de l entrée au dessert. Vous allez vous sustenter d une oeuvre d art pour tous vos sens. Mais se sont vos papilles qui prierons de gratitudes pour les avoir menées en ce lieux. Le service est professionnel, amical, familial selon votre humeur donc très approprié quelque soit l occasion. Juste un bémol les policiers sur St Laurent ne goûtent pas la chaleur de la place ils sont jaloux de vous savoir en si bonne place alors que dehors est si hostile donc ne manquez pas de bien payer votre stationnement. Merci à toute l équipe pour nous faire vivre une si belle expérience
