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.

Première fois que je commande à ce resto tout près de chez-moi, sous référence de ma voisine portugaise & effectivement, quel délice! Agneau/poulet/choriço avec riz, patates & salade en plus des accras à la morue, vraiment super bon! J'en ai pour deux repas! La viande était à point saignante, la fumée typique de cette cuisine au charbon bien présente, franchement, les accras super bons, n'hésitez pas à encourager vos restos de quartiers!
Vous avez un nouveau client!
Obrigado!
Tudo bom! (comme on dit au Brésil!) :)

This was a cozy little family owned resto where the menu was evenly balanced & pricing was good for the quality of this portugese cuisine. The service was very friendly vibes & exceeded expectations. If you want great tasting food that is easy on the wallet this is one of those spots you need to try, you shouldn't be disappointed. I wasn't & will return again in the near future to enjoy their streetfront patio.
