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.

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

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.

Very good & very affordable. The food was impeccable & very very well priced. I would strongly suggest this place for good old Portuguese comfort food! Will definitely going back!

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!

A classic Portuguese grill spot. Nothing revolutionary but just very good traditional grilled meats, chicken, octopus. I like the lowkey environment.

Worth a trip even if I think it has sagged a little in the past years but still a very good restaurant.
