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.

Excellente expérience au restaurant A Quinta! La nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse, avec des saveurs authentiques portugaises, & le service est impeccable.

Un gros merci à Ricardo ainsi qu'à toute son équipe pour leur accueil chaleureux & leur professionnalisme. On se sent vraiment les bienvenus du début à la fin.

Je recommande A Quinta sans hésitation. J'y retournerai avec plaisir! Muito obrigado

2022: Bustling restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Menu has lots of options. I went for the chicken & ribs combo & was highly impressed by the meal. Their piri piri sauce is spot on. Service was friendly also.

2026 Update: Since trying this place years ago, I've ordered delivery a couple times & returned with a friend to take him here for his birthday. Every experience has been fantastic. The quantity & quality Aquinta presents you for the price is fabulous & the service is consistently great. Upgraded to 5 stars for the consistency.
