All in all the dining experience blends traditional Portuguese cuisine with modern touches, earning high marks for food, service and ambiance.
Mon compagnon & moi sommes retournés chez Aldea après une longue absence due à la pandémie. Quelles belles retrouvailles avec José, Luis & Felicio. Nous étions heureux de tous les retrouver. & puis, Nella n'a pas perdu la main. Elle cuisine toujours divinement. Ses plats sont un pur délice & sa présentation toujours impeccable. Le service toujours chaleureux & attentif n'a pas changé, c'est d'une grande stabilité en tous points.
Nous avons passé une belle partie d'après-midi & nous nous sommes sentis en vacances comme à quelque part au Portugal.
Merci à vous pour cet instant de bonheur.
Nous avons hâte de vous revoir bientôt!

First time out since the end of the curfew! & what an experience that was!! The service is excellent & the food is even better!!
Traditional Portugese menu & the owner is rightfully proud of the quality delivered.
I can wait to bring my family back when we can eat inside.
I am a regular at Aldea for several reasons: the food is fantastic, the ambiance is modern & welcoming, but most importantly the staff are all genuinely nice & treat us like family. Well, maybe better than family if I'm being honest about it. I love this place!
