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 recommande vraiment ce restaurant. La nourriture est très savoureuse, le service était très sympathique & les prix sont justes. La serveuse Sandra nous a servi avec une grande gentillesse, elle a été très cordiale & attentionnée. Nous lui attribuons, ainsi qu'à l'ensemble du service du restaurant, une note de 10 sur 10.

What a great surprise! I came here by accident & decided to take a chicken bbq to go. It was so good that I decided to come back today to try the Portuguese soup (kind of caldo verde which I love) & bacalau croquettes. OMG this the best bacalau croquette that I have tried in Montreal (I have been trying croquettes in different restaurants, & they are quite good). The salad is also good! (Simple salad like homemade lemon dressing). I recommend this place 🙂
