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.

C'est tout simplement génial, & à un prix très abordable. Je le recommande vivement ! C'est un endroit familial avec une ambiance unique. De plus, le piquant fait maison est magnifique. Je le recommande fortement. 👌🏼😊🌶️ - Salut à Ricardo & son équipe! 👏🏼

Excellent. Bas prix! Seul bémol le fromage en grain de la poutine ne "squouik" pas. La raison est qu'il est probablement réfrigéré.

+ La bouffe est super bonne. + Les prix ne sont pas chers. + Le staff nous à permis d'amener notre propre gateaux de fête & nous l'a même coupé ♥ - Leur cocktails n'étaient pas vraiment bon. - Petit endroit étroit de style vraiment décontracté.

En tant que client fidèle depuis longtemps, mon expérience avec ce restaurant a toujours été extrêmement satisfaisante. La qualité du service, la délicatesse des plats & la chaleur de l'ambiance font de cet établissement un lieu familial & accueillant. Je recommande vivement cette adresse, d'autant plus que les prix pratiqués sont très compétitifs. C'est un endroit où l'on se sent bienvenu & où la qualité est constante

Was blown away by the food here. Was easily one of my favourite restaurants that I tried in Montreal (was here on a trip). The catch of the day was grilled to perfection, fries were crispy, & grilled side veggies were delish! Overall everything here was delicious. Highly recommended.
