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.

Great restaurant for dine in or take out. Their chicken is great, of course, but don't overlook their excellent seafood!
I had the grilled sardine appetizer & the grilled calamari appetizer & they both came with a generous & tasty salad. This place is definitely worth more than one visit!

They have improved a lot in the last months. Chicken is really good, with all the different preparations, spices, & sauces. Their prices are very fair too, & the attention is quick.
