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.

Nourriture excellente, tout était cuit à la perfection. Trop rapide pour desservir, on sentait une pression à quitter après mois d'une heure. J'ai dû terminer mon verre à la hâte. C'est regrettable car nous avions réservé en plus un soir de semaine?

I had the chicken combo, we were 3 people & decided to share a plate. It was enough & had some to take home. The homemade Portuguese potatoes were to die for, the chicken was absolutely delicious. Will definitely go back again. The service was excellent.

Great cozy place, good service, nice food nice vibe. They even offer their homegrown grapes. The food portion is very generous for the price. One of those rare places that has charcoal grilled octopus. Very decent price overall for food & drinks.

We went back recently in March 2024 & the place is popular as usual. They now have 2 services hours 6pm or 8pm. It's strongly recommended to reserve in advance even for 2, & expect slow service due to the busyness. Food still good & our server was nice.

If there was an option to give them a 5-million-star review, I definitely would have!😅 I ordered through UberEats today. The food was amazingly delicious. Chicken & the lamp chop were charcoal grilled & heavenly flavorful, rice was so good. & the Portuguese potatoes were scrumptious! Highly recommended! 👌🏻

J'y suis allé totalement par hasard. Ce fut une agréable surprise. La nourriture est vraiment exellente & les prix plus que résonables. Aussi, une belle ambiance conviviale. Je recommande fortement & je vais assurément y retourner.
