Vraiment tout est parfait rien à dire ! Je donnerai 6 étoiles ⭐️ sur 5 ! On a bien mangé avec ma conjointe, personne aux petits soins ! & quand le personnel a su que c'était mon anniversaire on m'a mis la bougie & de la musique d'anniversaire ! À refaire encore & encore ! Bravo & merci à toute l'équipe vous êtes géniales. Obrigado !
Restaurant parfait pour celebrer un anniversaire ! Quand classe & excellente nourriture se rencontrent. Un service impeccable, des portions aussi savoureuses que généreuses. Nous avons pris le bateau de fruits de mer comme plat de resistance & des moules en entrée. Tout etait parfait!
The food was excellent & the service was good. It seems like a small family run restaurant offering good quality portuguese food. We tried the octupus, fish, & steak with shripms plates, & honestly, they were all delicious. It is a bit pricey, but it's worth it.
Consistent authentic Portuguese food. The atmosphere is elegant. The staff impeccable, professional, knowledgeable, attentive, & pleasant. My go to place when in Montreal.
My favorite Portuguese restaurant. The service is above & beyond. The food is Gastronomy at its Highest quality. The Porto is delicioso. Obrigada to everyone at Aldea. You keep on making me return.
Toujours un plaisir de manger chez Aldea! La cuisine portugaise traditionnelle est au rendez-vous, accompagnée d'un service impeccable dans une salle charmante. Merci pour cette belle soirée en famille
The food was good, but not amazing. Some dishes were tasteless while others were quite good. The service was good & attentive, but waiters were a bit pushy. Overall, I would have to reconsider if I will be back, but it was good to at least give it a try.
Absolument délicieux ! Mais absolument délicieux. Typique nourriture portugaise & ceci vient d'un portugais alors croyez moi sur parole. Désolé pour la qualité d'image sur une des photos mais mon ami a dit que la cuisson avait été réussi impeccablement. Mon resto portugais préféré à Mtl.
We had an excellent dinner at Aldea - we started with the fresh cheese & had a complimentary beef fritter followed by grilled squid, octopus, & steak entrees. Everything was delicious, really precisely plated with brocolli rabe, roasted potatoes & carrots. The portions are generous! The dessert was lovely, we had the flan, rice pudding & chocolate mousse - all very nice. Excellent service. We will be back next time we visit Montreal.
