Review Summary

Aquinta is widely regarded as a standout neighborhood destination in Montreal, celebrated for its authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled cuisine and exceptional value for money. Guests frequently praise the flavorful and generous portions, with the chicken, ribs, and octopus being consistent highlights of the menu. While the atmosphere is often described as lively, cozy, and welcoming, the restaurant's popularity means it can get quite busy, sometimes leading to wait times or a bustling environment. Service is generally noted for being professional, warm, and attentive, though a few diners have noted feeling rushed during peak hours or experiencing occasional inconsistencies with delivery orders. Overall, it remains a favorite for those seeking high-quality, unpretentious dining that remains accessible and consistently delicious.

Très bonne bouffe & portion généreuse avec un service professionnel - un peu trop bruyant lorsque à pleine capacité

Great place for tasty filling Portuguese food. The combos are amazing. Always take out leftovers. Fast service & very attentive. A bit noisy because of small space.

If you enjoy grilled octopus, you must go to Aquinta. The food is all amazing, & the owner, the staff, awesome.
You may have to wait for a table a little, because it always gets busy, but it's absolutely worth it . I wait, when I don't reserve on line cause I know I'm gonna enjoy my food.
I definately recommend for Grilled Portugese food.

The food is very tasty, & the chicken is absolutely delicious. The customer service is also very good.

A small issue was the Aperol Spritz, which was quite disappointing, but that does not take away from the quality of the food.
I wouldn't recommend that particular drink.

We were seated outside, & some customers nearby were smoking marijuana with a vape pen, which was a little bothersome, at least for me.

Other than that, everything was great.
