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.

Excellente expérience! La food était franchement bonne, le service (surtout monsieur Guillermo qui a été impeccable dans son travail) était 5 étoiles. C'était la fête de mon grand-père & ma deuxième fois dans ce resto. Je regrette pas d'être venu!

Nous y sommes allées avant d'aller voir un spectacle au Lion d'Or. J'ai pris l'assiette de calamars grillés & c'était délicieux. Le service est rapide & les serveurs très gentils. Nous y retournerons c'est sûr!
