Excellente cuisine méditerranéenne ! Je viens du sud de la France & je me sentais au Portugal avec une pieuvre grillée parfaitement & une belle Dorade bien cuisinée & assaisonnée ! Merveilleux je recommande !
J'adore aller dans ce restaurant, il me rappelle vraiment mes nombreuses vacances au Portugal pour rendre visite à ma famille. Le rapport qualité/prix est vraiment exceptionnel, surtout quand on choisi un combo. J'y suis allée à plusieurs reprises avec des amis ou de la famille & j'y retournerai encore !
You NEED to live the experience of eating there! The food is just exceptional! You can try the octopus, squid or chicken, they are all amazing! Great place to eat with families, friends or even on a date.
Tout était bon, on a pris un gros plate to share... la sauce piri pas ma préférée mais les gens avec qui j'étais l'on bien aimé. En revanche la sauce à ribs: wow!
We recently visited Montreal & I discovered this great restaurant. Me & my husband loves it. First day we tried chicken & it was excellent. Day after we realised they have ribs, & ribs were spectacular. Then next day we come back & tried see food. OMG that was great discovery. See food is eaqual as it is in hi-end restaurants. Everything from the menu is fantastic. Service was super friendly & professional at the same time. Atmoshere was very relaxed. Overall great family restaurant. Bravo guys... we will pass by again on our next trip to Montreal.
Petit resto agréable offrant de succulents repas à prix très abordable. Je vous encourage à l'essayer, c'est un endroit à découvrir, vous y retournerai !
Ma copine & moi sommes aller manger un sandwich au poulet qui apparaissait délicieux...mais dans la nuit nous avons été tout les deux malade .... crampes au ventre , diarrhée etc.... en plus de ça les toilettes était sale ... mais SALE ... j'ai pas pu m'empêcher de le mentionné à la serveuse qui n'étais pas trop surprise que je lui dise .... alors je ne recommande pas du tout ce resto ... si vous avez envi de manger portugais... aller ailleurs !!!
J'ai commandé la poutine portugaise avec poulet & chorizo. L'assiette m'est arrivée avec un morceau de fromage moisi bien en vue! J'en ai fait part à la serveuse. Elle ramène l'assiette dans la cuisine & m'informe qu'ils m'en ont soit disant préparé une autre. J'avais commencé à manger quelques bouchées & j'ai arrêté net. Je me suis rendue compte qu'il n'y avait qu'une seule tranche de chorizo. Où est parti le reste? Pour moi, ils m'ont tout simplement redonnée la même assiette en enlevant ce qu'il y avait à la surface & en ajoutant des frites par-dessus. C'est vraiment un manque d'hygiène lamentable. C'est aberrant qu'ils m'ont même fait payer le plein prix pour de la scrap. Ce resto est à éviter à tout prix!!
j'espère que le problème est résolue depuis le temps. Avec ce que
je viens de lire je ne suis pas trop sur. J'aimerais bien
visité la cuisine.
Je ne mets pas 5 sur 5 car personne n'est parfait en ce monde
ca fait pas bonne réputation. bref j'aimes bien la bouffe
portugaise.
J'adore ce restaurant. Très bon poulet (je prends toujours la version non épicée), frites maison incroyables (petites, croustillantes, assaisonnées avec goût!). Je suis une mordue de leur entrée de croquettes de morue. Un petit bijou qui reste assez caché j'imagine à cause de sa situation géographique moyennement intéressante (rue Ontario E, entre Papineau & De Lorimier). Font aussi livraison assez rapide. Bons prix également.
I've been an A Quinta fan for many months now, ordering in food a few times a month, sometimes more than once a week. I've tried the chicken a few times, but stopped, because it was almost always well overcooked & dry. The reason I've continued to come back was the ribs. When I first started ordering (probably around the end of 2014), the ribs were generally excellent, fall of the bone succulent.
For the past few months, the quality of my precious ribs have been going down hill. At first, it was every now & again they would arrive well overcooked. For the past month now, I'm *lucky* if they are not burnt, to the point where most of the meat is charcoaled & ashen, completely disappointing. It seems like Saturday nights are the only time I order now where the meals meet the standards originally set.
Tonight, I ordered my usual meal, & it was the *worst* rack of ribs I've ever seen. The only part that was passable as edible was the meat directly between the bones, even that was tough. The rest of the meat was so burnt, I wouldn't feed it to my dog. On top of that, the meal used to always come with a cup of sauce for dipping, but lately has only shown up sporadically. I specifically requested it tonight when I ordered, & it did not come.
I called back to A Qunita to inform them, & they kindly offered to resend my meal. About 30-45 minutes later, it arrived. Except they only sent a rack of ribs, without any BBQ sauce on them, or fries, or the sauce I requested. I have not once been sent a rack of ribs without BBQ sauce on them from this establishment, I can only assume it was out of spite.
To summarize, I ordered a rack of ribs, with french fries, specifically requesting the sauce that has always come with the meal. I received: no sauce, french fries & an inedible rack of ribs. After calling in, I then waited another 30-45 minutes to receive only ribs, sans BBQ sauce.
