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.

Amazing local restaurant you must go! I highly recommend you make a reservation. We just found this place on google so we had to walk in. They had no system for putting names/numbers down, no waiting list either so you have to wait there with the entire group hoping some table will leave soon. It was friday night & we waited about 20-30min, not a bad wait time since we were just two. All of their food were amazing & also the Portuguese white wine that the owner recommended was just great pairing well with our food. Their sea-bass was excellent. Their octopus & calamari dish was amazing too. Price range is great too!! So happy to see a place where they dont over price things. We will definitely come back & recommend to our Toronto friends. Btw, the egg tart was way too sweet for our tongue. 😂
