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.

Venu en dernière minute un vendredi soir sans avoir réservé & avec des minots. Ils ont été très arrangeant pour nous trouver un table avec une légère attente. Le rapport qualité prix est super. Les plats sont bons & gourmand. Le Service est agréable & chaleureux.

Very authentic neighborhood spot. Great food & ambiance, & the host/staff/bartender were very kind & friendly. Even though I was a non-French speaking tourist they made me feel right at home. Will certainly stop by the next time im in town!

Nous avons décidé d'essayer ce restaurant sur un coup de tête car c'était proche de chez nous, & wow! On est contents d'y être allés & on planifie d'y retourner :) Nous avons pris en entrée : crevettes à l'ail & chouriço, les deux étaient super bons! Comme repas principal, nous avons pris : combo poulet & côte-levées & grillades mixte #1. Ils étaient délicieux & très copieux! Très bon rapport quantité/qualité-prix. Les grillades mixte #1 sont un bon choix pour goûter à plusieurs viandes! L'ambiance était chaleureuse & agréable, les employés étaient tous très gentils! Bref, nous recommandons cet endroit!

Really good chicken, moist with a lot of flavour. Ordered the half chicken & it filled me up. The place is not the biggest so you might have to lineup. They do takeout. Their poutine is massive & the half ribs were also delicious.

I have been doing takeout from this place for a long time now & it is truly one of the best churrasqueiras in town with some of the best pricing as well.
