About

Cantinho serves traditional Portuguese cuisine centered on the mastery of open-flame grilling techniques. Signature offerings feature charcoal-roasted chicken prepared with bold spices and authentic marinades that define regional flavor profiles. The menu highlights simple yet robust plates, emphasizing the natural quality of proteins cooked over high heat to achieve a distinct charred exterior. Patrons encounter a straightforward culinary environment focused on the consistent preparation of classic maritime and land-based fare. The preparation emphasizes depth of flavor through slow cooking and high-temperature searing methods. Accompaniments typically include crisp salads and hearty sides that balance the intensity of the grill. This establishment maintains a commitment to time-honored cooking traditions, ensuring each dish reflects the rustic essence of the Iberian peninsula through precise execution and focus on savory, fire-kissed results.

Horrible service. My husband & I thought we needed to be Portguese to be served. We were seated quickly, then ignored for 15 minutes. People who were seated after us were served before us. We had to flag down the waiter to order. We ordered the soup of the day, which we never got. The food was ok. The fries were delicious, but the rice was bland, & some of the meat platter was overcooked. The only time the waiter was friendly was when we were leaving. I won't be back.

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!
