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.

Riccardo (propriétaire & service à la clientèle) est une personne exceptionnelle & surtout à l'écoute de ses clients. Une nourriture succulente à un prix très abordables. Un poulet Portugais à goûter, & je vous dis que vous y reviendrait. Une ambiance relaxante de quartier.

Merci a l'équipe du restaurant.

Je vous conseille de réserver, l'endroit était bondé & nous avons dû attendre 15 minutes malgré une réservation. Mais le personnel a été très gentil & nous a donné du chorizo pendant que nous attendions ! La nourriture, le prix, l'ambiance & le personnel, tout valait le coup !! Si vous pouvez, je vous conseille fortement la pieuvre & de goûter aux côtes levées!
