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.

Excellent, tender, & well spiced Portugese chicken. Great service, lovely ambiance, & fair prices. I miss seeing these family owned businesses who are pleased to provide such a heartwarming experience for their customers. Thank you. José & Ricardo. You have my vote guys. We will return very soon. Happy Holidays!

Great food! All the things you want in a big portuguese meal. Shared plate among 4 adults & loved the chorizo + ribs that came with the delicious chicken. Drinks were totally reasonable, the service was friendly, quick & super kind. Bathrooms were clean & parking was easy. Great resto! Wanna go back every week, but too far from home.
