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.
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.
Great restaurant for dine in or take out. Their chicken is great, of course, but don't overlook their excellent seafood!
I had the grilled sardine appetizer & the grilled calamari appetizer & they both came with a generous & tasty salad. This place is definitely worth more than one visit!
They have improved a lot in the last months. Chicken is really good, with all the different preparations, spices, & sauces. Their prices are very fair too, & the attention is quick.
Was there a couple of weeks ago & ordered 1/2 a chicken & a plate of calamares. Chicken was very good, the fries were exceptional, the sauce was top notch. would've wanted cole slaw instead of a normal salad. Cole slaw & BBQ chicken, always goes well together . Calamares was ok, found that the batter was to thick. A lighter batter would've been better. Portions are very generous. Will definitely go back for the chicken.

Great place to get some portuguese chicken ! They have an indoor & outdoor seating area. You can order your dishes at the front & then sit to eat (kind of like a fast food restaurant, but healthier ) ! We had 2 family meals that came out to 81$ which is a phenomenal price! 2 chickens with 4 different sides! If you're looking for good quality food that won't break the bank, this is your go to place!
Dine in. Got the 1/4 chicken thigh plate. Everything was delicious. The salad was fresh, the fries were cooked to order, the chicken was juicy & the rice was cooked well. Service was polite & the place was clean.
With great disappointed had the fried calamaris..they changed them to frozen typical ones...nothing special about them..my husband & I had the chicken breast plate..had hardly no meat on our chicken ..& was served cold..would not go back.
you are right 100% abut the calama fried , we are so dissapointed about it , the steak is so so ..and the noise in that place is terrible . never come back
