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.

We tried the chicken & ribs combo with a side of garlic shrimp. The combo was ok, the meat was quite dry & didn't have as much sauce as shown in other photos here 😬 But the shrimp was really good & the sauce was delicious. The staff were friendly, & the place was nice.

We just had a wonderfull super as a family .first time in & we got an amazing service from Ricardo & brothers... a family typical Portuguese restaurant. The food was wonderfully cooked. We are Portuguese, & eating well, having good service is a priority.
To start while waiting for our table Ricardo treated us with a chorizo on a tomato sauce.. stunningly delicious. A nice touch,felt appreciative.
Price are average... rare to find nowadays, good food,amazing Service. Nice atmosphere.
Thank you for a great night... & the Porto.
Is a place to return.
