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 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.
Staff were extremely welcoming & friendly. Food was fresh, perfectly seasoned & delicious, portion sizes were generous. The grilled seafood platter was amazing, great for sharing. Highly recommend!
I'm glad this place reopened. Still very affordable. One portion sufficed me for two days, & it's delicious as I remember it from three years ago. A must when in Montreal!

Bonjour, je m'appelle Vincent. J'étais déçu quand ce restaurant avait malheureusement fermer. Je suis ravie qu'il est rouvert. La nourriture est excellente si ce n'ai encore meilleur qu'avant. Les portions sont généreuse & le personnel est très gentil, professionnel & on vois l'amour pour la nourriture. C'est un très très bon restaurant que je vais revenir plus souvent même si je reste à une heure de là. Mercii! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Hi, I don't know where else to ask but are you guys opening back anytime soon? :) Update February 4th 2024: The restaurant has changed, it's more like a take out counter now with a seating area. The lady at the cash register didn't really know the menu & seemed confused but it's to be expected since they just reopened. The food is just as delicious as I remembered. Overall i'm glad you guys reopened!

Dès mon entrée dans le resto je voulais partir.... Le bruit... intolérable.... les tables collées l'une sur les autres... service comme ci comme ça...
Bon, il faut donner la chance au coureur... l'entrée de calmars grillés bon... de là la dégringolade... la morue grillée brûlée... le légumes se noyaient dans l'huile... repas servi froid... peu ou pas d'assaisonnement... vraiment très décevant.... Le pire resto portugais... rapport qualité prix zéro....
À éviter... il y a de meilleurs restaurants portugais à Montréal...
ou ce n'était pas une bonne journee pour le resto ou ...pour vous.J'y suis allé deux jours de suite avec des amis et tout le monde était bien satisfait..
C'était vraiment parfait pour notre souper entre amis afin de célébrer un anniversaire. Nous avons passé une soirée mémorable grâce à une bouffe en toute simplicité & savoureuse. Attendez-vous à une ambiance festive & décontractée.
