The Canteen

Very nice restaurant with beautiful design and delicious food. We had brunch here last week. The seafood chowder is a highlight, must try. Even the biscuit come with the chowder is very delicious. We ordered 3 things on lunch menu and two things from the kids menu. All good and the size is big, price is acceptable!

We came to The Canteen on Portland a couple of weeks ago. It was a busy night but, we just happened to walk in at the right time and ended up getting a table right away. Unfortunately, they were in the middle of a menu change (season) and, the night was busier than expected so, out of the few options that we had chosen for food, they only had one available as described. They did offer alternatives and tried to accommodate us. However, after we agreed, the waitress came back with more changes but, somehow that time things worked out slightly better in our favor and, we almost ended up getting what we wanted to begin with. Anyways, the food turned out to be very delicious and the portions were really filling. Also, the waitress did her best to serve us well and handled pretty well the situation. However, I did notice that other people that came after us weren’t informed that the kitchen was running out of food options. If we would have actually waited to be seated to find that out, we wouldn’t have been as happy, for sure. That aside, I think this place is worth visiting, more so if you are already on the Dartmouth side of town.

I had the seafood chowder it was excellent. - chock-full of seafood, very rich, and a huge portion for a lunch serving- a bargain at 16$. My partner had the Ruben sandwich with a side Cesar salad, he also very much enjoyed his meal. A laid back spot, unpretentious and great food. We will return for sure.
