Review Summary

Cantinho is widely praised for its Portuguese chicken with reviews highlighting juicy flavorful chicken, generous portions, and good value whether dining in or taking out; the menu also features poutine with Portuguese chicken, grilled sardines and calamari, and other seafood options, with many noting that the spicy sauce adds a nice kick. The service is described as friendly and efficient in many visits, though some experiences report slow service, occasional order mix ups, and a few mentions of unfriendly or inattentive staff; at times the atmosphere and decor are noted as lacking. Overall the place comes across as a solid, authentic neighborhood spot with consistent chicken and fair prices, though a few visits suggest room for improvement in accuracy and consistency across orders and interactions. The takeaway impression is that Cantinho offers dependable flavor and value, with strong appeal for takeout and casual dining, and with the chicken often being the standout.

Je suis allé chercher quelques plats, dont une entrée de pieuvre à $18,95.dans le plat, il y'avait un seul morceau de pieuvre & un petit amas de salade. C'est trop cher payé pour ça
De plus, les morceaux de poulet dans notre demi poulet était calciné. Je suis déçu cette fois-ci car habituellement, on se régale

The chicken pieces were very small, too dry & little meat on them. The only good thing is the portion size if that's your thing

The poutine with Portuguese chicken is delicious. Some of the best Portuguese chicken in Montreal! I recommend getting the spicy sauce with it!

Uber Eats order- No comment on atmosphere or service.
I got the half chicken meal which came with a generous selection of three sides as opposed to the typical two, nice variety too. The potatoes were nice but not the particular style I was hoping for, don't think it was worth the extra $2.25, should be same price as other sides IMO. Chicken was delectable but hardly saucy. Overall this was a huge meal & I actually had enough for a whole plate the next day which is rare for me. Great value & quality just beat out by other competitors in the category I know of in the Plateau.

Would not recommend. Food is not good quality. Service was poor (we ordered two meals, & they messed up both of them), & atmosphere/decor was lacking. There are much better Portuguese restaurants with much better food than this place.

I came here for my sons baptism & the staff is very nice but we were disappointed with the food. It wasn't as good as it used to be, their octopus was so bad & other food was completely tasteless. I found out after that they changed chef. They should really change chef again or get the old one back because he or she is not very good.
