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.

A classic Portuguese grill spot. Nothing revolutionary but just very good traditional grilled meats, chicken, octopus. I like the lowkey environment.

Worth a trip even if I think it has sagged a little in the past years but still a very good restaurant.

I have been going now for few month. I have hade all the dishes they serve. The one I like most is the complete sea food plate.
Service is very important & the guys are great. There is guy that is always there at the door to seat you. He has the biggest we'll come smile ever. When he say you will get a table in 2min you get under 2 min. Please note that it's Friday & it full.
Yesterday we had the privilege to be served by him. His name is Peter. I found out that he actually trained Walter.
I like to say thank you for great service Peter
