O Cantinho Churrasqueira & Cafe

Fantastic little spot. Authentic menu. Have gone in for both lunch and dinner, and always leave satisfied. The chicken is a staple, available any time. But anything else on the menu is a gamble, as not all items are made every day. I recommend trying it to anyone craving good, freshly prepared food, but if you plan on going back and have a menu favourite, I recommend calling ahead to check the what’s available for the day. Although, you really can’t go wrong here. Very reasonable pricing as well, you will leave full and not break the bank doing so.

The one negative is seating. It is a very small establishment, and seating is extremely limited. At peak times, you will almost definitely deal with a wait. And true to European eateries, there’s really no sense of urgency with customer turnover. This is the kind of place where people will sit and talk and enjoy their meal, and more often than not, finish up with a cappuccino. Hard to really call that a negative if customers pack the place and enjoy a good meal at their leisure.

Called to order takeout and the man that answered was very abrupt, but not rude on the phone. Took my order, said when it would be ready. Went in to pick up and the place was packed. It was 2 pm on a Saturday and there were a lot of regulars just sitting at tables and drinking (only one or 2 tables had food). No employees were in the dining room, so I had to wait for a couple minutes, but not a big deal. A lady came from the kitchen and asked what I needed, so I told her, then a man came out and I paid. Waited a few more minutes for my food and left. The chicken was really really delicious, and the fries were hand cut and hot! The calamari was rubbery, but it was frozen, so what can you expect? Overall the food was great, the service wasn't overly friendly, but ok, and the prices are fair. Definitely worth going to again, but because the space is so small, I would recommend takeout.

Great food! Friendly and helpful staff, would recommend if you are craving BBQ chicken. Big portions for a fair price.

My family and I loved everything about this place! This is the perfect example of a family-run business where the owners take real pride in how they run the establishment and it shows the moment you walk in! The food was delicious and authentic! Even though we are not Portuguese, as avid foodies we know an authentic chorizo when we have one ????! The restaurant and washrooms were very clean and the server took a genuine interest in helping us in order the best way possible! You guys earned the five stars from each of the five folks in my family, well done!

The 4 stars are for the food. I Picked up my order for a party I had this past weekend. Food was fantastic, and everyone loved it. It would have been nice to be given bags for the food as we had four hot trays to carry out, but was told no we cannot have bags or napkins. I spent almost $200 on food, the least they could have done was give us bags. I would still order from here though, the food is excellent.
