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.

Je ne m'attendais pas à autant de qualité & de quantité avec ces prix là. Les grillades sont excellentes & la petite tartelette portugaise à la fin juste woau. (J'ai pris une boîte de 6 à emporter & il m'en en dinner 7) :) Je recommande vivement.

C'est mon restaurant portugais préféré à Montréal : excellente rôtisserie, grillades sur charbon de bois, poulet & côtes levées, chorizo, fruits de mer de qualité & frites, salades, entrées & bouchées à déguster à deux ou à plusieurs. Bonnes bières & carte des vins intéressante. Terrasse en été.

We stopped there after a visit to le Biodôme. There was a little bit of wait but let me tell you, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! We had the fish of the day which was the loup de mer & lamb chop. The fish came whole, which is how you can determine the skills level of the chef: Top notch! We came there hungry & we left full, satiated & satisfied. We want to give a shout out to Romain & Fabio who were both FABULOUS! Even though they were busy, they greeted us with smiley faces, worked really hard, were diligent in getting everyone seated & comfortable & made sure we enjoyed our food. I travel to Canada at least once a year & this is a place I will remember coming back to when in Montréal. Thank you Romain & thank you Fabio, you rock!

J'y ai mangé sur l'heure du midi & même si c'était plein, le service était très rapide. Je poulet est délicieux & les frites croustillantes! Les prix sont très bons! J'ai hâte d'y retourner. Ajout : les côtes levées sont EXCELLENTES. Un délice.
