Aldea is one of the best portuguese restaurants in Montreal for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Plateau.
Aldea is making a quiet, persuasive argument on the Plateau: that Portuguese cooking — briny, honest, built around fire and the sea — doesn't need a white tablecloth or a $25 cocktail to be completely serious.

Montreal has no shortage of vegetarian restaurants, but plant-based Indian cooking done with genuine culinary ambition is a different category — and Tula is essentially the only room in the city occupying it.
