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.

Aquinta is quite simply the best Portuguese good in Montreal. I've been there 3 times in the last three months & every time the food was delicious, fresh, & so plentiful. Ricardo & the whole crew is always on point & there isn't one moment that I didn't feel attended to. If you want some of the best comfort food around then come here. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

An amazing spot for poutine in Montreal! The portions are very generous, especially with the chorizo & chicken, & it always hits the spot. The flavours are spot on & consistently satisfying. Anytime I'm craving poutine, this is the first place I order from, it never disappoints!
