Je suis vraiment déçue de ce-que j'ai reçu. Petite portion de viande & le poulet manquait assez de goût ainsi que leur riz. Rien à voir avec les images sur leur menu….

Amazing food. Other than the combos (chorizo, ribs & chicken are very tasty), I highly recommend the grilled octopus & marinara mussels . Good crunchy pastel de natas with a bit of a cinnamon taste. Everything was wonderful, great service too.

Cannot say enough great things about the food & people at Aquinta. Delicious chicken, ribs, & wonderful value for money. Go early to get a table as there is often a line up!

Épatez par la cuisine de ce resto portugais! C'était excellent & à l'image de mon expérience au Portugal... mais ici à Montréal!
J'ai mis 3/5 étoiles à'Service' : notre serveur était respectueux, attentif à nos besoins & très accueillant. Mais, à la fin de notre repas, un autre serveur (?) est venu desservir & nous a fait sentir qu'on devait quitter car il y avait de l'attente à la porte... pourtant notre serveur nous avait bien dit de prendre notre temps... disons que ça nous a laissé un goût amer du service. Attention à cet effet: une seule personne peut laisser une trace négative juste avant notre départ même si l'expérience était très positive durant le repas!

Cozy space with good food. The servers were very friendly & the food was delicious. The place was packed on a Sunday evening, we had to wait a little while to be seated even with a reservation. We tried the Portuguese steak & grill #1 & the Portuguese egg tarts. Big portions & seasoned well. Their house sauce goes very well with the food. Would like to visit again to try other items.
