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.

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.
