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.

Tres bon nourriture, assiettes assez remplissantes, le seul détail est le service à la clientèle qui doit peut-être plus serviable ainsi qu'avoir plus d'empathie pour les nouveaux clients qui ne connaissent peut-être pas le menu ou la dynamique du restaurant

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!

Nous connaissons Cantinho depuis 30 ans, on a vraiment aimé ses debut, petite endroit conviviale, éventuellement il c'est agrandit la nourriture était aussi bonne qu'avant & lambiance correct, nous sommes retourné aujourd'hui pour la première fois depuis la pandémie, quelle déception! Il ont transformer ce charmant resto portugais en fast food, fini le service aux tables, & que du réchauffer, & c'était difficile de trouver une table qui ne branlait pas! Nous n'y retournerons définitivement plus !! Dommage car elle a perdu son cachet!

So i ordered the seafood platter, meat platter & calamari. Unfortunately the young packer messed up & left out the meat platter. Called them & they said no worries. I went back later & the owner Paulo took care of everything. Extremely tasty food. Well worth it & good money value .

Cuisine toujours excellente pour du poulet portugais! Ambiance a beacoup changé dans le sens négatif. Le service est plus focus sur la vente à la quantité soit take & peu à ceux qui veulent manger sur place. Ce n'est plus un restaurant comme avant puisque tu prends ta commande au comptoir & tu vas t'assoir par la suite.

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!
