From the service to the food & wine selection! Authentic Portuguese food at its refined finest.
You will be wondering why you haven't come here before!
Made our reservation three weeks in advance as we were traveling from another city. The food was such a delight. Started off with kale soup which was okay & octopus tentacle tapas that was really tender. Seafood rice came in a vibrant vermillion burst & intensely flavorful. Good to the last drop. The bacalhau salted cod was generous in portion, drenched in olive oil & delicious. Wish we had time in our packed itinerary to come back for another meal. Maybe another trip. Thank you Aldea!
Loved the food & amazing service 😀 leak soup & salads were delicious. The tapas are very good, grilled octopus & calamari, the shrimps & sardines cooked to perfection. Dessert passion fruit yummy 😋 the service is perfect.
Petit resto familial très convivial avec une table d'hôte vraiment honnête pour le prix. Tout était très bon. Notre serveur était charmant & attentionné, & a été très patient avec nous même si nous avons fermé le bal.
We stumbled upon this lovely place by chance. Even though we arrived just an hour before closing, they welcomed us warmly. The service was outstanding, & the atmosphere felt peaceful, relaxing, & family-oriented. The food was delicious, & I especially loved the interior design - elegant yet cozy. Highly recommended! I'll definitely be coming back.

Had an excellent lunch at Aldea an authentic Portuguese flavors at their best. The fried cod was perfectly crisp on the outside & tender inside, a true highlight of the meal. The service was warm & the atmosphere inviting, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine.
Un des meilleurs restaurant a Montreal avec cuisine authentique Portuguaise & du personnel très agréable ainsi que le gentil patron José toujours attentionné.
Un des meilleurs restaurants de cuisine portugaise à Montréal. Tout y est à la perfection. La nourriture y est de qualité excellente & très savoureuse. J'aime particulièrement la brocchette de boeuf & crevettes (généreuse & succulente), & la côte de veau, divinale! Le personnel y est courtois & très attentif & efficace.
Un endroit très accueillant, avec un petit quelque chose de classe! Excellent choix pour le lunch & le dîner du soir.
