Review Summary

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.

Love this place. Prices are very affordable & you get big portions. The staff is friendly & service is quick. This is our go to places when we go family dining. The restaurant can get packed on peak hours, which should indicate how good this place is!

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.

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.

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!
