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.

Petit resto très sympa à découvrir. Service rapide & très sympathique. Très belle portion à un prix très raisonnable. ( Assez rare de nos jours pour le mentionner). La pieuvre grillée & le mix grill étaient très bons. Les clubs sandwich très généreux sont très bien aussi. Je vous conseille de mélanger leur sauce piquante maison & la mayo pour vos frites. Les tartelettes Portuguese en dessert ont disparu aussitôt arrivée sur la table , un délice. On a vu beaucoup de livraisons aussi. À 9 min à pied du métro Papineau.
