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.

Excellentissime restaurant ou à emporté!
Saveur du poulet, salade fraîche & croquante, riz bie cuisiner & onctueux & non sec, parfait !
Toutefois, petit bémol dans le service qui laisse à désirer, assez froid parfois te reprochant ou te faisant comprendre que tu lui a dit 1 poulet & non 1 demi poulet & ne pouvant pas le retirer de sa caisse..
Dois-je me forcer de manger 1 port entier puisque la caisse n'est pas ajustée pour un'reset'..? Euhhhhhh je ne pense pas..
Toutefois, très bon personnel dans son ensemble.. 4 *
Merci d'être aussi goûtu dans un poulet grillé hors du commun.. 👍
