With its typical Portuguese cooking, Cantinho restaurant lets you discover a little corner of Portugal. You will travel to the Algarve's hot beaches, Lisbon's cafés, the nostalgic sounds of the "Fado", the flavour of spices and the taste of incredible Portos. A pleasure to discover visit after visit, whatever the occasion.
Cantinho is described as a solid Portuguese spot with big portions and good value, known for its Portuguese chicken and a mix of dine in and takeout options. Many reviews highlight flavorful chicken, spicy sauce choices, and popular sides like poutine with Portuguese chicken and seafood starters such as sardines or calamari. A few visits are less favorable, with notes of small, dry chicken pieces, overcooked poultry, or tasteless dishes, and in one case a chef change was blamed for a drop in quality. Service is often praised for friendliness and speed, though occasional lapses in attentiveness or slow service are mentioned. Pricing is generally seen as fair and portions generous, with some mentions of billing mixups that can be frustrating. Overall Cantinho comes across as a dependable neighborhood favorite that many return to, even as the experience can vary by day.
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
Un bon repas, très copieux!! La cuisson du poulet & des côtes levées juste à point!! Que dire de la sauce brune qui accompagnait les pommes de terre grelots!! Miam! Miam! Miam!

Bonne endroit où manger ou pour emporter poulet excellent prix compétitif j'y vais régulièrement assurer vous que se que vous commandez est bien facturé car pour moi ils se sont trompés qq fois exemple je commande une poitrine & il facture une cuisse & tu t'en aperçois rendu à la maison cest fâchant surtout que j'aime pas manger une cuisse !!!
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.
