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.

Overall VERY GOOD food & service, but still have an attitude problem with that French accent tattoed bearded rude peice of work. I changed side of the table so I did not have to see that face. ______________________________________________________ June 24th 2022 lunch time: horrible waiter, music way too loud on patio. Here's what you missed if you wasted time there today: Plastic chairs, good service & good money. Rude, Rude, Rude.
