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.

This has to be one of the best spots in Montreal. We ordered the squid & fisherman's plate, which were both incredible. The staff was amazing, the atmosphere was festive & the experience as a whole is one that I cannot wait to live again.

Great place, good portugese chicken. I get a half-chicken plate every time I go & it comes with rice & fries & some salad. It's so good! The whole staff is friendly, professional & efficient. This is a well managed establishment & I'm gonna keep coming back again & again. In fact, I can't stop coming.
