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
Loved the food 👌🏼 We had the (greek [fish) of the day] & octopus salad & shrimp with starter. &: very tasty 😋 special thanks to the staff for helping with skeleton detractation 😄 ❤️ the pictures on the menu are very realistic/well done! I forgot the name of the fish, so let's call him gorbeh 🐈
Great spot! Highly recommend. Chicken combo is a great deal. Also definitely worth it to replace the fries with portuguese potatoes. Also incedible service. Great family run spot.
