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.

Many diners frequently praise the quality of the chicken, ribs, and sides, often highlighting the restaurant as a reliable choice for family meals and takeout.

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.
