Mon amie & moi avons retourné chez Aldea pour une xieme fois. Pas de changement dans la qualité des mets & du service, c'est toujours excellent & impeccable. Le personnel a toujours de petites attentions pour nous. On se sent en famille.
Lorsque nous y sommes allés, ça faisait déjà 5 ans que ce restau fonctionne. Nous souhaitons longue vie à ce restau!
Une cuisine exemplaire & une qualité de produits digne des plus grands restaurants. Une adresse incontournable lorsque que l'on veut manger portugais. Merci pour le service de qualité !

Excellent experience at this family owned & operated restaurant. Great lunch menu selection at 20$. Given the restaurant was packed on a Wednesday at noon seems we weren't the only ones to appreciate this little Montreal gem.
