Wow excellent, savoureux & bel atmosphère. La qualité du service, la convivialité du personnel remarquable. C'etait notre première visite & sûrement pas la dernière. Pour nous, se serait 10 étoiles.
My husband & I had the most marvelous dinner at Aldea this week! The caldo verde to start & my dorado fish was sublime. Husband had the small steak with those gorgeous little potatoes & carrots. All accompanied by a liter of Portuguese wine. Dessert of flan (my favorite!) was wonderful. As someone who longs to return to Portugal, I felt like I was in Lisbon or Porto with perfectly prepared food, attentive & friendly service. I found the restaurant online but two different people we met in Montreal while we were on vacation both RAVED about Aldea so I felt like we had made a good choice. & boy did we!
