Restaurant A Quinta sur la rue Ontario à Montréal est comme un havre chaleureux offrant à bon prix de délicieuses grillades portugaises. Que vous soyez seul, en couple ou en groupe, vous trouverez A Quinta une atmosphère conviviale propre aux échanges et aux confidences. C'est un endroit authentique et sans prétention où boire et manger à l'européenne est à l'honneur.

Dans l'ensemble, Aquinta est largement salué comme une adresse portugaise remarquable à Montréal, offrant une cuisine authentique et généreuse à bon prix; les plats phares tels que le poulet portugais, la pieuvre, les côtes et les fruits de mer séduisent par leur saveur et leur cuisson, et l'ambiance chaleureuse avec un personnel sympathique en font un lieu convivial et familial que l'on aime fréquenter à plusieurs reprises; malgré quelques retours sur l'affluence et des petits soucis de service occasionnels, la qualité et le rapport qualité prix restent exceptionnels, faisant de ce restaurant familial une vraie perle du quartier et une valeur sûre pour les repas en famille, entre amis ou en tête à tête.
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! 👌🏻

Great spot if you're looking for a restaurant without pretentions that does everything right & has been doing it consistantly for years. The portuguese chicken has just the right amount of char without compromising taste & tenderness. The ribbs are fall off the bone & the chorizo grilled perfectly to bring out its smokey flavors. The cod croquettes are a nice addition to the fried calimari plate, & the freshness was a perfect sidekick to cut off the fat of the latter. We had no room for dessert but we keep coming back, like everyone else as the place is always packed bit never loud. Its a great spot for any foodie looking for consistant food that never fails of quality without breaking your wallet. Service is discreet. 5/5
Amazing food. Other than the combos (chorizo, ribs & chicken are very tasty), I highly recommend the grilled octopus & marinara mussels . Good crunchy pastel de natas with a bit of a cinnamon taste. Everything was wonderful, great service too.
I only had experience through über eat, never been in their restaurant. I think it's one of the best Portuguese charcoal grilled chicken 🍗 in Montreal. Keep in mind though if you choose delivery they regularly forget items in the order like soda, natas or the salad side dishe. Of course uber refund but very frustrating still.
Great welcoming ambience, service is very friendly & accommodating. Definitely recommend this place yo anyone. 4 stars because the grilled calamari to me was bland but everything else was top notch!

Both the grilled chicken & grilled squid at Aquinta are excellent. The chicken is juicy & flavorful with a nicely grilled exterior, while the squid is tender, springy, & perfectly seasoned with no fishy taste at all. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh & prepared with care. Definitely a place worth coming back to.
We were dining on the 2nd of October 2025. Had an excellent time. Food was amazing. We ordered Grilled Mix 2. Service was outstanding. & very fast. our food was ready within 15 minutes. Thank you for giving us amazing table immediately without reservation. Thank you. The place is worth to visit.
Uber eats ordered :
Paella , grilled calimari & octopus all 3 item delicious !
Cod balls , came bare without salad as shown in the pictures , would not recommend.
Highly recommend if you're in the neighbourhood. The server was beet friendly & welcoming. We ordered the grilled vegetables with goat cheese & fried calamari & both dishes were delicious. We found this place totally by accident & were super pleased. Bonus: fun, Latin music.

If you're looking for a meal that hits hard with flavor & satisfaction, this combo is next level! The grilled chicken was perfectly charred with just the right amount of spice-juicy inside, crispy outside, & topped with crushed chili flakes that bring the heat without overpowering the taste. Every bite was packed with bold, smoky goodness!
& let's talk about the poutine… 🤤 Classic comfort food done right. The fries stayed crispy under a generous layer of rich, savory gravy & melty cheese curds. It was the perfect balance to the spicy chicken-creamy, indulgent, & straight-up delicious.
📍Perfect for a work lunch or late-night feast. Flavor, portion, & presentation? All on point.
Aquinta is one of my favorite spots-every visit is a treat. The food is consistently excellent, & the service is top-notch. I usually go for the paila as my main dish, & it never disappoints-rich, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. The grilled octopus is another standout: tender, smoky, & beautifully plated. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable meal.
The only (very small) downside is that it can get a bit loud when it's busy, but honestly, it's a sign of how popular the place is-& for good reason.
I had the charcoal-grilled fish here last night, & it was absolutely amazing! The fish was perfectly cooked-crispy on the outside & tender & juicy on the inside. You could really taste the smoky flavor from the grill, which made each bite so flavorful. The seasoning was spot-on, & it came with a side of fresh veggies & a tangy dipping sauce that complemented the fish beautifully. The staff was friendly & attentive, & the ambiance of the restaurant made for a relaxed, enjoyable dinner. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves fresh, well-prepared seafood. Will definitely be coming back for more!
Decided to try this place from a friends recommendation. The resto was pretty calm for sunday lunch. We opted for the grilled octopus plate that comes with salad, rice & potatoes. We also got the Portuguese chicken & rib combo plate that comes with fries & salad. To finish our meal off we ordered Portuguese egg tarts. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! All the meats were perfectly grilled & seasoned & had a nice charcoal flavour. The portions were also GENEROUS & the price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend both dishes! Will be for sure coming back again!

Great food, great service. A nice find! The grilled calamari & garlic shrimp dishes were beyond what we expected. The Piri chicken was delicious, & we should have ordered the lamb medium rare (it came out well done) but was still very good
Excellent fish, lamb, Portuguese steak & grilled octopus 🐙 salad 😋 Service was super friendly, excellent knowledgeable service & helpful for food allergies (wheat, soy & dairy) We will be back soon! 😁
the chokehold this place has on my family. the grilled octopus is my favorite. the plates come with potatoes & salad & rice & it is unbelievably delicious. the drink prices are pre 2020s inflation & I think that is beautiful. come here every time I'm in Montreal
I've been to restaurants in places like New York, Tokyo, or Singapore but if I have to choose a place to eat for my last meal, it would probably be Aquinta. The staff are so nice & the food is just perfect (& the price you probably can't beat anywhere else in Montreal). Ricardo included some really yummy bread the first time I tried this restaurant & a glass of dessert wine another time. I also had a shot of whiskey with one of the servers. I also lost my phone one night & all the staff helped me look for it. I love you guys, I have to come back soon 🥹🥹. I'll bring some Japanese whiskey next time. I recommend their grilled octopus & I really love how they make their rice.
