The food was delicious, probably the best mussels I have ever tried. Minus 1 star for the service. First, it took forever to the server to come & take our order, & then some people who came after us got their order before us, which makes me think she forgot to submit our order. We finished eating, & I had to wait 30 minutes before a different server passed by, & I asked her for the bill. Spent 2 hours for what supposed to be a quick lunch !
Sympathique resto de cartier, j'ai pris le club, portion généreuse, très bon, sauce maison épicé excellente. Je recommande mais réservé puisque c'est populaire!
Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. La nourriture est très savoureuse, le service était très sympathique & les prix sont justes. La serveuse Sandra nous a servi avec une grande gentillesse, elle a été très cordiale & attentionnée. Nous lui attribuons, ainsi qu'à l'ensemble du service du restaurant, une note de 10 sur 10.
What a great surprise! I came here by accident & decided to take a chicken bbq to go. It was so good that I decided to come back today to try the Portuguese soup (kind of caldo verde which I love) & bacalau croquettes. OMG this the best bacalau croquette that I have tried in Montreal (I have been trying croquettes in different restaurants, & they are quite good). The salad is also good! (Simple salad like homemade lemon dressing). I recommend this place 🙂

I wanted to share some love for Aquinta! Our favourite local restaurant since we moved here, the Portuguese poutine is amazing 🤩 I hadn't gone back since my celiac diagnosis...but was so pleasantly surprised this weekend when the server & chef went above & beyond to provide me with safe options. We will be back often & highly recommend (but make a reservation since it's a well-known secret!). 🥰 my husband devoured his seafood paella 🥘
I have eaten here several times & it has to be one of my favourites in Montreal - the ambiance is warm with lots of energy. The food is always great. & the prices are so so so good. There are few places in the city to eat a really good meal for under $20 & this is one of them. Definitely make reservations for dinners. Even on a Tuesday night it can be packed.
No time to explain. 10 stars out of 5. Sea bass + octopus 🐙/squid. I am so full I can't type. Run & eat! This place is the best!!!!!!! 🙀 P.S. shout to the Sugaful below. 👇 Those are the pics of the food :)
Awful service, while having good food at a fair price. Visited on June 4th dinner. The waiter was extremely indelicate, talking rude & pressuring everyone to decide what to eat. For most food requests he asked in a threatening way if the person was sure about the food being ordered. After ordering food, he took the menus away & 1 minute later asked: "do you want something else to drink or are you ok with water?" After all these unnecessary confirmations, from the 5 dishes ordered, one came wrong as he didn't write it down correctly. Quite unpleasant that a good food restaurant allows its waiters to behave like this guy & ruin their customers opinion
