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 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.
Bonne endroit où manger ou pour emporter poulet excellent prix compétitif j'y vais régulièrement assurer vous que se que vous commandez est bien facturé car pour moi ils se sont trompés qq fois exemple je commande une poitrine & il facture une cuisse & tu t'en aperçois rendu à la maison cest fâchant surtout que j'aime pas manger une cuisse !!!
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.
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.

I came here for my sons baptism & the staff is very nice but we were disappointed with the food. It wasn't as good as it used to be, their octopus was so bad & other food was completely tasteless. I found out after that they changed chef. They should really change chef again or get the old one back because he or she is not very good.
La nourriture est bonne je n'est rien à dire par contre Carine K. La serveuse elle a une attitude désagréable! Je viens souvent chercher ma commande & aucun sourire, 0 service à la clientèle! Sa se voie qu'elle n'aime pas travailler! Que sa sois pour emporter ou manger au restaurant elle est aucunement souriante! J'ai passé un dimanche soir. Une chance la nourriture elle est succulente & prix très raisonnable
La nourriture était excellente & le rapport qualité-prix, très bon.
Mais le service… je n'ai jamais eu un service aussi mauvais de ma vie. La serveuse était désagréable, ne répondait aucunement aux besoins des clients & faisait preuve d'un grand manque de professionnalisme.
L'attente a été interminable, plus d'une heure pour recevoir 2 plats, sans jamais avoir un simple verre d'eau rempli.
Bref, le service a complètement gâché mon expérience.
