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.

Great welcoming ambience, service is very friendly & accommodating. Definitely recommend this place yo anyone. 4 stars because the grilled calamari to me was bland but everything else was top notch!

Both the grilled chicken & grilled squid at Aquinta are excellent. The chicken is juicy & flavorful with a nicely grilled exterior, while the squid is tender, springy, & perfectly seasoned with no fishy taste at all. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh & prepared with care. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

La première fois il y'a plusieurs mois je n'etais pas sûr que ca venait d'eux, mais la c'est arrivé encore il y'a quelques jours, intoxication alimentaire violente.
J'etais trop mal avec de la fièvre pendant 2 jours & je n'ai mangé que chez eux donc pas de doutes. Je pense que c'est les pastel de nata qui n'etaient pas frais, deja au gout je trouvais bizarre mais j'ai fini les 2.
Mon ami n'en a pas pris & n'a pas ete malade.
