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.

J'ai eu l'occasion de manger au restaurant & c'était le meilleur tout excellent, aujourd'hui j'ai préféré manger à la maison & j'ai été surprise avec un poulet totalement brûlé 😩. Dommage que j'habite loin du restaurant pour aller le changer & me plaindre de la mauvaise expérience que j'ai eue aujourd'hui.

It was a magical experience! The atmosphere was very nice, the owners are lovely. The food was delicious, i had the half chicken which was full of charred flavors of the grill yet still juicy & tasty. It was a great place to have a nice lunch

Nous y allons souvent en famille & toujours aussi satisfait! C'est probablement le meilleur rapport qualité/prix en ville.

It was pretty good, but still not my favorite portuguese place around. They had very mild'spicy' sauce, the fries were a little bland, & some chicken pieces were a bit too burnt to be a 5 star place for me. The pastel de nata is solid flavor wise but really lacks in crispyness too. I have to say though, portion is huge for the price. Definitely a good bang for your buck!

Excellente expérience 🔥
La cuisson au charbon fait vraiment la différence - goût authentique, viande tendre & pleine de saveur.
Les accompagnements étaient frais, le pain excellent & tout était très bien préparé.
On sent le souci de la qualité dans chaque détail 👌
Très bon service & belle ambiance.
Je recommande sans hésitation !
