Toujours plein les heures de diner, la nourriture est bonne. Poulet + bon rapport qualité prix, encore mieux quand il y a des promotions. Portion grande, partager a deux si vous voulez manger léger. Octopus très tendre. Bemol - le riz est fade, prochaine fois je vais voir si on peut changer pour autre chose.

Great food, great service. A nice find! The grilled calamari & garlic shrimp dishes were beyond what we expected. The Piri chicken was delicious, & we should have ordered the lamb medium rare (it came out well done) but was still very good
Myself & the wife have been to Aquinta numerous times, a friendly owner & extremely motivated staff are always making sure we are taken care of. On our most recent outing however we had the pleasure of sitting at the bar with Luciano running it. The experienced bartender was knowledgeable, quick with a joke & his service standard was more akin to a 5 star French bistro than neighbourhood dining. Having spent 10 years in hospitality myself, I was pleasantly surprised to experience such a high quality level of service. Highly recommended, & if you see a silver fox behind the bar, I recommend you sit there.
Excellent fish, lamb, Portuguese steak & grilled octopus 🐙 salad 😋 Service was super friendly, excellent knowledgeable service & helpful for food allergies (wheat, soy & dairy) We will be back soon! 😁
What a beautiful place. Very charming & Ccozy. The house red was amazing . Everything they do, they do extremely well. A local treasure. The fact they can offer this quality at these prices is truly magical.
The food was delicious & the service was perfect. I recommend reserving in advance or you'll have to line up! It's a bit tight & noisy inside but that's what makes it cozy!
Du poulet portugais à la hauteur de mes attentes. Des assiettes très généreuses. J'ai pris le combo 1 (poulet entier) pour trois personnes & il en est resté. Grande assiette de calmars fris pour pas cher!
Wow! What a lovely place full of such kind, helpful & loving people. My friend & I had been visiting Montreal for the weekend & had a really bad first day experience. But then we came across this place for dinner & we had such smiles on our face from the music, to the delicious looking food & kind workers. You feel the love in this family business from how they treat the customers to how they treat each other. Very pleased & we highly recommend!!
Super bonne bouche portuguaise ! Le poulet au charbon est délicieux. Le riz.. les patates .. la pieuvre !!! Rien à dire 🤤👌🏻 Merci Ricardo !! Excellent service
