Review Summary

Cantinho offers solid Portuguese fare with generous portions and affordable prices, and many diners praise the chicken, sometimes the poutine with Portuguese chicken, and the quick, friendly service that makes it a popular family spot; the place can get packed at peak hours, a sign of its appeal. Reviews also note mixed experiences: some dishes fall short with small or dry chicken pieces, tasteless bites after a chef change, or occasional order errors, while others highlight consistent quality and good value, with fast service, flavorful sauces, and a mix of takeout and dine in options. Overall, Cantinho is seen as a dependable neighborhood option with strong highlights and a few hiccups to watch for.

Generous portions & delicious! I would recommend turning on the music for nicer ambiance!

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!

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.
