Review Summary

Aquinta is widely regarded as a standout neighborhood destination in Montreal, celebrated for its authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled cuisine and exceptional value for money. Guests frequently praise the flavorful and generous portions, with the chicken, ribs, and octopus being consistent highlights of the menu. While the atmosphere is often described as lively, cozy, and welcoming, the restaurant's popularity means it can get quite busy, sometimes leading to wait times or a bustling environment. Service is generally noted for being professional, warm, and attentive, though a few diners have noted feeling rushed during peak hours or experiencing occasional inconsistencies with delivery orders. Overall, it remains a favorite for those seeking high-quality, unpretentious dining that remains accessible and consistently delicious.

Unser erster Abend war großartig: Das Essen war überdurchschnittlich gut und der Service top.Leider war der zweite Abend das genaue Gegenteil. Die Putenbrust war etwas zu trocken.
Viel mehr enttäuschte uns jedoch der Service: Wir wurden mehrfach gefragt, unseren Tisch zu verlassen und an der Bar zu Ende zu essen, weil man unseren zweier Tisch für 4 Personen haben wollte.

Zudem wurde uns eine kurze Runde Karten zum Zeitvertreib untersagt - zuvor nach der Bestellung war das noch kein Problem.

Der Service war zwar bemüht nett, aber das Gefühl, als zahlender Gast dann doch schnell durchgeschleust zu werden, hinterlässt einen sehr komischen Beigeschmack.
Schade um den anfangs so tollen Eindruck!

Très bonne bouffe & portion généreuse avec un service professionnel - un peu trop bruyant lorsque à pleine capacité
