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.

While heading to pick up chicken at another spot, I stumbled upon this hidden gem on Ontario Street by chance. A quick stop at a red light that led me to see this restaurant, & I decided to take some chicken home. It was absolutely delicious! Intrigued, I returned later with a friend for dinner, & we were both impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly & welcoming, & the service was exceptional. The food was outstanding, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant-it's truly a wonderful find!

My friend & I went here after being recommended by another friend! The food & service were not bad! The taste of the cleaning liquid that entered my mouth while I was eating the food! While the customers were eating, they were cleaning the floor by spraying the cleaning liquid! I thought it was only for a moment, but they continued to spray the cleaning spray & clean for about 30 minutes! We ate our food hastily & left! The taste & smell in my mouth, as if I had inhaled the cleaning liquid, lingered in my nose for about an hour! It was a terrible lunch! I don't understand how you can sweep the floor with a broom while the customer is eating.

Nous y sommes allés le 3 novembre pm Les employés sont très sympathiques & aussi très charmants...Sandra, ainsi que sa collègue de travail sont une grande source d'invitation à la clientèle avec leurs merveilleux sourires... Gentille , courtoisie amabilité; Je me sens chez moi en famille avec ce resto de quartier. Je mange assez régulièrement dans les restos & celui là est assez dur à battre pour ses employés courtois & pourtant j'ai un gros sens de la critique envers certains restaurants à Montréal. Mes invités aujourd'hui ont tous été comblés par ce resto... J'ose espérer que ça perdurera. Bravo à vous tous & je vous souhaite un autre 17è années de uccès & de prospérité... Georges Juneau, qui se lave toujours les mains avant les repas🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍👍 Au plaisir!
