Excellente expérience au restaurant A Quinta! La nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse, avec des saveurs authentiques portugaises, & le service est impeccable.

Un gros merci à Ricardo ainsi qu'à toute son équipe pour leur accueil chaleureux & leur professionnalisme. On se sent vraiment les bienvenus du début à la fin.

Je recommande A Quinta sans hésitation. J'y retournerai avec plaisir! Muito obrigado

2022: Bustling restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Menu has lots of options. I went for the chicken & ribs combo & was highly impressed by the meal. Their piri piri sauce is spot on. Service was friendly also.

2026 Update: Since trying this place years ago, I've ordered delivery a couple times & returned with a friend to take him here for his birthday. Every experience has been fantastic. The quantity & quality Aquinta presents you for the price is fabulous & the service is consistently great. Upgraded to 5 stars for the consistency.
