Review Churrasqueira & Cafe Cantinho - Hamilton

Really tasty lunch! I had the Charred Chicken Sandwich with a house salad and my wife had the Brisket Sandwich with fries. The sandwich and side portions are not only delicious, they're also pretty generous. You'll probably need a takeaway box. Loved the decor. Great place for a bite to eat on James Street.

Really good chicken, Piri Piri sauce also good. Would not recommend the brisket though, pretty dry. Edit: Went back a few times and would recommend the brisket sandwich more than the chicken sandwich now lol. If you're looking to get chicken still think the poutine or whole/half are better than the sandwich

Stumbled upon this place when searching for best poutine around Niagara Falls area. I had had a bad memory of eating poutine in Toronto but this place blew my mind with their vegetarian gravy and cheese curds on the fries. Perfect poutine and the small portion made it easy on our tummy. Their grilled chicken was good but the show stoppers were the grilled pepper sauces. We liked them so much that we ended up buying spicy and x-spicy sauces!!

Obviously if you look at the menu, this place mostly does rotisserie chicken and it does it well. It reminds me of nandos but better, with the exception of their sauce. The piri piri is not as flavorful but still good. Though on the other hand their sides are amazing, the roasted potatoes were easily my favorite part of the meal and the portion sizes are great. Would definitely go back.

Got the brisket Sandwich with a side of poutine.. the service was very quick! And the food was very tasty. The sandwich was pretty good, the brisket wasn't dry at all. The poutine rivals the poutines from Quebec city.. id say it's worth a stop.

The food was absolutely fantastic. It tasted great and the side portions were absolutely huge. The reason why I don't give it full stars is due to the portion sizes for the chicken. There seemed to be very little chicken on my plate compared to my side dish. The sides do sort of make up for the small portions of chicken. The other reason for not having full stars is due to the service not being very good. There appeared to be only one woman waitressing that day and there should have been at least one other person serving too as she was just much too busy to cater comfortably to our table and tables around her. Get more than one waitress for serving dinner!

Best healthy chicken spot in downtown Hamilton. There chicken noodle soup is absolutely delicious. Compared to other chicken noodle soup this has a kick to it when you add the hot sauce and the cilantro makes it even better. Chicken leg is so tender and fresh… and crisp on top… the hot sauce makes it… just so yummy… I would suggest the brisket sandwich over the chicken. Fries are okay.. could be better? I use to order lunch here twice a week when I was trying to eat healthier and it was the best choice, highly suggest to those who have big cravings but trying to cut back abit on the junk. You will be satisfied if you love chicken as much as I do. I usually do pick up and eat at the office so I can’t rate the service and dine in experience. I dined in once and it was nothing special to be honest, maybe the music was off but I felt like I was in a cafe drinking a warm coffee and wanting to head out within the next 10 minutes. Front counter girls/guys are super nice & efficient. Overall 5 star for such good chicken. Hamilton is a hard spot to find good chicken that isn’t fried.

Upon entering you can smell the roasted chicken already. The place is clean staff are friendly and attentive to customer .. the chicken were superb.. well recommended 😊😊

Not a fancy place, which was perfect for us. The food was fantastic and the service was even better. Prices are reasonable. We had leftovers, so brought it home for the kids to try and they loved it too! Would definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to make a return as a family. Be sure to try the, Scrambled Cod!

The place best place ever great food great service

A small, (sometimes) noisy and friendly restaurant. Amazing service and outstanding authentic Portuguese food. Ask for the daily dish. Only menu is posted on front door. You won't regret the incredible flavours of true Portuguese cuisine. A Hamilton must.

Love the chicken so much that I can't eat the grocery store premade chicken anymore as well as Swiss Chalet!! Great fries, rice and potatoes as well. The salad for the table is always a hit!!! We need a fix at least every other week!

Reasonable price large portion off food amazing tast I will recommend any body to go there to eat
