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.
Food & service was excellent, fresh made with quality ingredients! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good restaurant without paying Michelin Star price.
Ce restaurant nous avait été fortement recommandé par des amis portugais. Accueil & service des plus chaleureux & mets délicieux! . Le menu & la carte des vins sont des plus intéressants. Nous avons déjà hâte à notre prochaine visite.
O serviço é muito amigável e o ambiente é super agradável, mas tanto no bolinho de bacalhau, como o prato com bacalhau decepcionaram. Em ambos haviam espinhas, principalmente no prato principal. Quando mostrei em meu prato as mais de 10 espinhas, a resposta simpática, porém nada efetiva fois: Coma devagar e com cuidado. E o pastel de natal também nao fois uma boa escolha, acho que fois aquecido no micro...tava murcho.
We felt like we were back in Portugal. Amazing service & you absolutely need to try the octopus. Once you try it, you'll know why we recommend it. Servers went above & beyond & you know they are the real thing. Enjoy!!

Critique 5 étoiles! Digne dun restaurant Michelin!
Ce restaurant est reconnu pour ses délicieux filet mignon, mais laissez-moi vous dire… ce qui m'a complètement jeté à terre, ce sont les moules! Sérieusement, les meilleures que j'ai mangées de ma vie - & je ne dis pas ça à la légère, j'en commande dans presque tous les restos qui en offrent.
Elles étaient parfaitement fraîches, savoureuses, bien assaisonnées, avec une sauce INCROYABLE!
Le tout accompagné d'un service incroyable, attentionné du début à la fin.
Coup de coeur à essayer :
👉🏻 entrée de moules
👉🏻 crevette a la lisbone
👉🏻 filet mignon
Si vous êtes amateur de moules, ne passez pas à côté de cet endroit. Une vraie révélation!
Ps : oublier pas de commander un excellent dessert 👌
Super bon restaurant ou les plats sont délicieux. On veut toujours revenir. De plus, le personnel est sympatique & nous donne un service impeccable. On est toujours bien reçu. Je recommande!
Le poisson du jour était délicieux. Les calmars frits en entrée avec un petit verre de porto blanc était un non choix pour ouvrir l'appétit. Service pas surfait juste ce qu'il fait & ENFIN un resto qui maîtrise la musique'ambiante', on peut parler tout en dégustant des plats savoureux. Un sans faute !

We met up with friends at Aldea Restaurant in Montreal - we came from Ottawa & our friends from Toronto - & it was the perfect spot for our get-together! The food was absolutely delicious, the service made us feel like kings & queens, & everything was spotless & beautifully presented. We were so impressed with the warm atmosphere & attention to detail. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal!
