Review Summary

Aquinta is widely regarded as a standout neighborhood destination in Montreal, frequently praised for its authentic, charcoal-grilled Portuguese cuisine, particularly the succulent chicken, tender ribs, and expertly prepared octopus. Diners consistently highlight the generous portion sizes, exceptional value for money, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it a favorite for families and social gatherings. While the vast majority of experiences are positive, with guests often commending the friendly and efficient staff, some visitors have noted occasional challenges regarding noise levels, limited space, or instances of being rushed during peak hours. Despite these minor inconsistencies, the restaurant maintains a loyal following, with many patrons returning repeatedly for the high-quality food, professional service, and overall festive vibe.

Restaurant portugais authentique. Très bon poulet & les portions assez généreuses. Le service est courtois, familial & convivial. Excellente qualité versus prix. On y retournera bien sûr pour essayer divers articles sur le menu. Félicitations.

Un très gros coup de coeur pour le service professionnel, chaleureux & impeccable de la jeune femme d'origine Indonésienne, wow !!!

Nous avons aimé notre expérience dans l'ensemble !

Nous avons pris en entrée l'excellente soupe du jour & les accras de morue (un peu trop salé).

Comne plats principaux : assiette de calmars frits & assiette mixte de poulet & côtes levées. Le tout était très bon & copieux ! La sauce sur le poulet était trop salée. Nous avons ramené le reste & la serveuse nous a emballé le tout dans un sac tellement beau & adorable ! Merci ! 🙂

Mon Aquinta préf'!
Qu'est-ce qui se passe?
J'ai remarqué ces derniers temps que votre portion poulet dans la version combo côtes levées est maigre... Beaucoup d'os & peu de chair! À peine 4 bouchées...
