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.

En fait, j'y suis allé parce que le bar L'Astral 2000 est juste à côté. Ce qui m'a donné le goût d'aller chez Aquinta, c'est parce qu'un ami qui habite proche m'a recommandé d'y aller. En jugeant par moi-même, je trouve que la bouffe est très bonne. C'est un endroit qui a toujours beaucoup de monde. J'avoue que ce n'était pas évident de me trouver une place. C'est client qui m'a trouvé une place & ensuite j'ai été transféré au bar pour manger par le personnel. J'ai remarqué que peu importe la hiérarchie du personnel les gens n'ont pas le temps de ne rien faire.

Food is incredible & not too expensive. Everything I've tried has been amazing. My only complaint would be that last time we waited for like 10 minutes at the door with servers passing by & nobody acknowledged or greeted us. It's true it was busy, but there were tables free to seat. They were just ignoring us the whole time until we left with no food 😞 Hopefully doesn't happen again...
