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.

If you're looking for a meal that hits hard with flavor & satisfaction, this combo is next level! The grilled chicken was perfectly charred with just the right amount of spice-juicy inside, crispy outside, & topped with crushed chili flakes that bring the heat without overpowering the taste. Every bite was packed with bold, smoky goodness!

& let's talk about the poutine… 🤤 Classic comfort food done right. The fries stayed crispy under a generous layer of rich, savory gravy & melty cheese curds. It was the perfect balance to the spicy chicken-creamy, indulgent, & straight-up delicious.

📍Perfect for a work lunch or late-night feast. Flavor, portion, & presentation? All on point.

Highly recommend

Absolutely perfect experience. The codfish croquettes & piri piri roast chicken were absolutely amazing. The service was extremely nice & incredibly attentive without being clingy or overbearing. As a 10 year veteran of cooking in the food industry & generally being very picky about food, I can say without hesitation that this place is everything that a restaurant should be. 10/10
