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.

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

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.

Succulent poulet portugais! Assiettes généreuses & bon choix d'accompagnements. Coup de coeur pour la salade: laitue fraîche & vinaigrette savoureuse! Délicieuses "pasteis de nata". Accueil chaleureux & service attentionné, bref une bonne adresse!

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.

Yes ils sont réouvert depuis 1 mois , C'est toujours super bon, le poulet est excellent parfaitement assaisonné. La cuisson est parfaite. Quand on prend 1/4 poitrine il y a comme accompagnement 3 choix donc les portions sont très généreuses & on a de la difficulté à finir notre assiette. Sur la photo j'ai pris le corps poitrine avec riz, frite & salade. J'ai pris un extra sauce portugaise & elle est comme toujours super bonne.
