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 restaurant auquel nous sommes allés souper avec réservation avant un spectacle. Les portions sont très généreuses à des prix plus qu'abordables, les plats sont goûteux, les cocktails forts savoureux & le service est chaleureux. L'ambiance était festive pour le temps des séries de la LNH. Je prévois y retourner pour essayer leur belle terrasse en été.

The food is good, pricing is decent.
Service however was extremely slow. Saw another table pack up their food because by the time their mains arrived, they had to go. Had to ask 3 times to get water, only got it by asking another employee. Then, had to ask 5 times to get another refill of water.
Ambiance wise, it was hot & really loud. Couldn't hear the person sitting beside me.

Waitress made a mistake on our order, waited another 20 minutes for an entrée.

To end the night, they ran out of Natas. Got cheesecake instead but had to wait 15 minutes as the waitress forgot to give us utensils & no one was available.

Overall, had higher hopes & would not go back.

Honestly not sure what happened with the quality of this place, i came 3 years ago & it was so good, the service was amazing as well. However, i came recently & I was so disappointed with the food & the service, they messed up both of our orders (which is alright due to how busy it was) but when they brought it, it was just inedible, it's a shame because I really had a good impression of this place before

Très belle découverte ! Mon chum & moi y sommes allés & avons eu une excellente expérience du début à la fin. On se sent les bienvenus dès notre arrivée. Le service était extrêmement sympathique & attentionné. La nourriture était excellente & les portions très généreuses. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables pour la quantité & la qualité offertes. Nous recommandons ce resto :)
