Amazing food. Other than the combos (chorizo, ribs and chicken are very tasty), I highly recommend the grilled octopus and marinara mussels . Good crunchy pastel de natas with a bit of a cinnamon taste. Everything was wonderful, great service too.

Cozy space with good food. The servers were very friendly and the food was delicious. The place was packed on a Sunday evening, we had to wait a little while to be seated even with a reservation. We tried the Portuguese steak and grill #1 and the Portuguese egg tarts. Big portions and seasoned well. Their house sauce goes very well with the food. Would like to visit again to try other items.

Cannot say enough great things about the food and people at Aquinta. Delicious chicken, ribs, and wonderful value for money. Go early to get a table as there is often a line up!

Flavoured food, great service and nice vibe. Glad to see a restaurant is keeping their quality for almost 20 years. Well deserved and wish you longer success.

Favourite Portuguese chicken on Ontario street. Family run restaurant, been there for more than a decade, it’s the place you go with family, friends, dates and even after church!

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.

An excellent discovery for anyone who loves Portuguese cuisine! Definitely a popular resto - expect a wait on a Saturday night, which staff is well prepared to make you feel welcome👌Food is fantastic, service is incredible at an unbeatable price! Can't wait to go back!

We just got in town. We went there to have a nice meal but as soon as we sat down they moved us for a reservation which happened after us stepping in

Aquinta is quite simply the best Portuguese food in Montreal. I’ve been there 3 times in the last three months and every time the food was delicious, fresh, and so plentiful. Ricardo and the whole crew is always on point and there isn’t one moment that I didn’t feel attended to. If you want some of the best comfort food around then come here. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
