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.

Love this place. Took my mom to try it. The food is delicious, the portions are large, the prices are good, & they play European soccer on the big screen. 10/10. I go every time I'm in the area

Pour une de nos rares sorties en couple, nous choisissons ce restaurant. Les hôtes nous invitent à nous asseoir sur le bord de la porte de garage, mais il fait froid dehors. On doit changer de table. 2 autres couples se font aussi installer à cette même table & doivent aussi changer… mauvaise stratégie.
Nous commandons nos assiettes, mais attendons très longtemps avant de les recevoir. Pourtant, on a commandé du poulet… on nous dit qu'il y a eu des erreurs dans la commande. Le troisième couple qui s'assoit à côté de nous reçoit sa commande en moins de 10 minutes.
Le poulet est bon, les frites de patates douces aussi. La salade était défraichie.

J'ivais depuis environ un an & tout est délicieux, que ce soit sur place ou pour emporter. C'est super cozy a l'intérieur, ils sont généreux avec les cocktails aussi. L'entrée de crevettes est absolument succulente. On peux simplement pas se tromper en mangeant ici !!!
