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.

Montréal & les restaurants portugais, c'est une histoire d'amour qui remonte à loin. Aquinta est parmi les meilleurs de ces restos à grillades portugaises. Rien à envier aux restos du plateau. Grillades excellentes, service rapide & toujours amical. Les employé-e-s dans la cuisine sont supers. Les prix sont abordables, bref c'est un must dans le centre-sud

Excellent restaurant aux saveurs portugaises. Les ribs & les assiettes mixes sont délicieuses. Je recommande fortement les pasteis de nata en dessert qui sont très bon également

Nous étions un peu à l'étroit. C'était bruyant, mais si ces points ne vous dérangent pas, c'est un excellent choix de restaurant.

The food was delicious, probably the best mussels I have ever tried. Minus 1 star for the service. First, it took forever to the server to come & take our order, & then some people who came after us got their order before us, which makes me think she forgot to submit our order. We finished eating, & I had to wait 30 minutes before a different server passed by, & I asked her for the bill. Spent 2 hours for what supposed to be a quick lunch !
