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.

Amazing food. The most authentic Portuguese restaurant in Montreal. I've had many dishes here. Chicken pork beef, the chicken wings. Even the drinks are amazing. You have to go & it's reasonably priced

La pieuvre est excellente! Le stationnement peut être difficile à certaine heure, mais le restaurant en vaut la peine. Les propriétaires sont très gentils & accueillant.

Un incontournable pour les amateurs de cuisine portugaise! Ce restaurant offre des plats savoureux, authentiques & généreux. Le poulet grillé est parfaitement assaisonné, les accompagnements sont tout aussi délicieux, & l'ambiance chaleureuse vous transporte directement au Portugal. C'est toujours un plaisir de faire découvrir cet endroit à mes amis, qui en ressortent tous conquis! Un vrai coup de coeur, je recommande à 100%.
