O Cantinho de Portugal in Lambeth

The 3 mosqueteers of the floor need to have more professionalism.

Fantastic! Good food, good prices and extra extra friendly staff!

Let's start with the positives. Nice location, cosy environment. The menu was creative, and the service was brilliant. I felt like the manager was doing a brilliant job out on the restaurant floor. However, I can not say that about the chef(s). I had a shrimp starter (looked the part), but the flavour wasn't there tasted like vinegar. The bacalhau (cod) was very nice. The mixed grill, on the other hand, was dry, bland, and just looked like cheap cuts of meat with a side of salad straight out the packet without any seasoning. I didn't get the authentic Portuguese feeling as I thought I would. Growing up spending every sunday in a Portuguese restaurant, I have expectations. This restaurant didn't do it for me, unfortunately. Hopefully, things change

Delicious food & cozy atmosphere!** The food here is amazing, and the vibe is so warm and welcoming! When we arrived, we stood at the door for a moment, unsure if we should go in since it was late afternoon. But then the friendliest Brazilian waitress—with the coolest accent—invited us inside! There were 10 of us, and we were all served within minutes. That’s seriously impressive—most restaurants take forever to serve large groups, but not this one! _________________________ The food is delicious! The atmosphere is very family-friendly!!! We arrived and stood at the door looking inside, embarrassed to go in because it was late afternoon. Then the Brazilian waitress with an incredible accent invited us in! There were 10 of us, and everyone was served within minutes! Normally restaurants take ages to serve us.

Really friendly, excellent advice for us "first-timers", and really tasty tapas. Highly recommended

Qué maravilloso restaurante. La comida era excelente, muy bien presentado con gran sabor. El personal era excelente, no demasiado exigente, y el menú no era demasiado complicado. Una joya escondida a plena vista.

The nicest meal we’ve had in ages! Our waiter was attentive, really friendly and was helpful in getting in our order just right. Food was delicious, biscuit cake and the hanging steak were highlights.

Fantástico ambiente crompromisso dos empregados em servir bem os clientes sempre com atenção ao promenor 5 estrelas e muito obrigado

I was intrigued to try a restaurant in Little Portugal and this place was great! It had a cool different vibe and the menu was interesting! We had great food and the service was 👌🏻we felt well looked after. I would recommend to anyone wanting to try a Portuguese restaurant out in the area!

We recently dined at O Cantinho De Portugal to celebrate a special occasion, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was. We had a large group, and despite that, the staff took exceptional care of us from start to finish. They were incredibly attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was just as impressive, with the staff making sure our needs were met without us ever having to ask. What truly made our celebration extra special was the thoughtful touch they added. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and the birthday cake was not only stunning but also tasted amazing. It was the perfect finishing touch to a perfect meal!

A real Portuguese experience! The food made me feel closest to home I’ve been in a long time.

Servicio increíble desde el momento en que caminamos hasta que salimos, con tanta atención al detalle. Tuvimos una variedad de platos, todos los cuales fueron increíbles, desde los entrantes de buñuelos de bacalao salado y gambas en una salsa que he bebido como una sopa, hasta los principales, que pedimos el filete colgante con papas fritas, y la cazuela de mariscos. Todas las porciones eran muy generosas, con la cazuela de mariscos con un montón de mejillones, berberechos, gambas y otros mariscos en. La sangría también estaba deliciosa.

He estado viniendo a O Cantinho por más de dos años con mis padres cada fin de semana, pero desde el año pasado tengo la cena a través de la ella fuera al menos una vez a la semana. Siempre fantástico. El personal es tan educado, servicial, un gran saludo a Catia, siempre tan encantador y acogedor. La comida es increíble y recomiendo encarecidamente esta joya de un restaurante Katia y el equipo muchas gracias

After several disappointments, we found this Portuguese restaurant that was simply fantastic, with good, well-prepared food and great desserts. The service provided by Sofia was also excellent and we will definitely be back. Thank you 🙏

Richard gave great service, really made the evening! Wine was great. Prawns in butter sauce are a must !

We think we too early in the day.

Great service, lovely atmosphere, and amazing food!!

Friendly staff, lovely cakes. Nice and clean too!

This place is amazing and Richard was the MAN!!

Primera vez aquí antes de asistir al evento en Brixton Academy. El personal era acogedor, el servicio era rápido y la comida era auténtica, a un precio razonable y abundante. Terminado con una generosa muestra de un delicioso digestif portugués! Definitivamente iría de nuevo,

Lovely eve, the team were super fun and kind and the food was great!

Amazing food, great service! We had the best evening before a gig, Richard was an absolute dream of a host and recommended several dishes and wines which were all exceptional!! We had the best night, thank you so much!!!

Top Sangria Top Francesinha I was served by the waitress Cátia who made us an excellent sangria, top service I will definitely be back Thank you

The players and the WAGs were hungry after a football match yesterday. Everyone left with belly’s full and big smiles. Will definitely be a regular spot for the team! 🇧🇼

Cantinho de Portugal (Stockwell) the Francesinha The experience of tasting a francesinha at Cantinho de Portugal was, unfortunately, disappointing in terms of the execution of the dish. However, it is important to highlight that the service was friendly and attentive, despite the imprecise information provided. Let's start with the steak: when I asked the waitress about the cut of meat, I was assured that it was sirloin. However, what arrived at the table was a tough, dry piece devoid of any juiciness, completely ruining the experience. Next, the sausage: I explicitly asked if it was fresh and was assured that it was. However, I was surprised to find a canned sausage – an outrage for any francesinha lover, completely devaluing the authenticity of the dish. And then, the sauce – the element that should be the soul of the francesinha. I asked if it was the traditional one and they assured me that it was. However, what I was served was a sweet sauce, lacking depth, without the spicy and robust balance that defines a true francesinha. Despite all these flaws, the friendliness of the service was remarkable. The waitress was helpful and polite throughout the meal, which made the experience a little less bitter. However, as warm as the service is, the quality of the food needs to live up to expectations. In short: friendly service, but a francesinha lacking in authenticity. With significant improvements in the kitchen, it might be worth it.

Fantastic food and a welcoming atmosphere! The entire staff is friendly and attentive. I had a wonderful experience and will absolutely be returning.

Excellent Portuguese restaurant; I felt like I was in some restaurant right there in Portugal. The service is superb and I was so happy they had vegan options, just a few but that’s good because it is not common in Portuguese restaurants. I had the vegan feijoada à transmontana, which was delicious , and portions are huge! Highly recommended.

Decent place with very friendly staff and good atmosphere, decent prices too and big portions.

We came in on an off chance as we are new to the area. We were made to feel comfortable from the moment we stepped in. Not only was the atmosphere authentic but the service received from Sophia was the best I've ever received in London, her recommendation of the clams was spot on (first time ive ever tried clams and trust me when i say that white wine sauce complimemts all elements and im definitely returning for Sophias next recommendation. She definitely knows her food) The menu was so unique and helps you have an understanding of the best parts of Portugal to go to for beautifully put together dishes. (You can taste the love and attention to detail with every bite) The flavour's and fresh produce is unbeatable and the value for money makes it hard to believe your dining in London. Big respect and love to karla and the family we can not wait to dine with you guys again. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

A good meal + friendly and professional service and a cosy atmosphere. Reasonably priced. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely meal yesterday at Cantinho, made me feel at “home”. Delicious francesinha with my favourite drink super bock 🤗. Thank you all 🙏

Nice food and reasonable proportion. Better book if you plan to eat there as usually crowded. Tasty Portuguese food. Had takeaway of bacalhau and other dishes.

Spectacular food and amazing service,we love this place, all the time we are craving for sea food, they have the best, always 😋 😀 😊 ❤!!!

Food not tasty no marinade properly in Portuguese way , the steak to dry had nasty taste smell not from tPortugal, no garlic or lemon taste. I don’t want to go there again. I think they should improve more in food quality and have more options, on that particular day there no Bacalhau or Octopus, wish we were very disappointed. The customer service was great they pay attention of all details.

Probably the best francesinha in London! If you’ve ever been to Porto, you’ve probably heard about francesinha. I fell in love with it when I visited for the first time, so I sometimes look for Portuguese restaurants in London that could help me to “matar a saudade” (hard to translate, but I think you know what I mean). I found this one while browsing Google Maps and decided to give it a go. I booked a table because our time was short, but I believe you can still go without needing to book one. The restaurant had plenty of available tables on that Saturday lunch. Although everything on the menu sounded amazing, I was craving a francesinha. It was delicious and juicy. It was the best I’ve had in London. We also got cod balls (bolinhos de bacalhau) as a starter, it was fresh and crunchy. I want to go back to this restaurant just to try the rest of the menu. Everything looked amazing. We wanted to get desserts, but we couldn’t barely walk after that delicious francesinha.

Nos gusta visitar O Cantinho de Portugal para reunirnos con amigos y almorzar abundantemente antes de salir por la noche. La comida es genial; muy abundante y sabroso, justo lo que necesitamos. Superservicio. Esperamos con interés nuestra próxima visita.

Authentic Portuguese restaurant feeling, the food, people and the environment! Won’t be disappointed. Additional perk! They are also very good with large bookings which is a relief as some restaurants are picky.

What a great lunch we had today. The seabass is something out of this world. Made to perfection. My husband had the feijoada and said it was amazing too.

As a client I found this very disrespectful and a bit unsanitary after going for dinner with my girlfriend while I we were eating out lovely food a tall waitress with dark hair started sweeping the floor and being hit with dust and all , Really enjoy the food but I don’t think this is something that should have been done It’s not the first time this happens and like this many people may not come as much,

Went to dinner here on Wednesday when something similar happen with brushing the floor while I was eating. when I spoke to the tall dark waitress she was extremely rude but there is a shorter staff member which was very lovely

Great place to have lunch. Daily specials only at £10. What a bargain 👌

The corner of Portugal 🇵🇹 I've been there many times 10 stars welcoming family service 100,000,000 friendly staff and managers spectacular. Good for dinner with one or two people. with family and friends I recommend it.... even just a coffee accompanied by cream huuuummmmm... I recommend it..

Amazing staff and delicious food!

The best restaurant in London excellent food and the best service by the team Management By ......Carla; Richard; Sonia;Catarina...And..... Francisco; Luis; Vera; Maria; Glorinha .....Also.....DIOGO ...CONGRATULATIONS TO All ....

A fantastic restaurant, it's one of our favourites in the area of Stockwell- Brixton. Their home-made menu is delicious, of great quality and prices are very competitive . This in combination with the atmosphere and treatment received makes it a very cozy experience. Seafood rice, mixta de carne and the praws are probably our top 3.

Great service, atmosphere and food! The staff is very friendly and always happy to recommend you the best dish of the day. You have to try the prawns and the seafood rice! Definitely recommend it!

Great Customer service and delicious food

The best service very friendly staff

Returned to have dinner at Cantinho de Portugal after a couple of years. Completely different atmosphere for worse. I presume the previous owner is not there anymore and this was our last visit to this restaurant. Food was ok but we were put close to 2 birthday parties and it was very loud (even considering that the rest of the restaurant area was empty). To finish this not great experience, one of the deserts ordered came with MOULD and not in good condition to be served (how many days was this desert in the fridge?). I was ashamed by taking English friends to share a bit of our amazing Portuguese gastronomy. Never again. If you want to try or have Portuguese food, try different places not far from this one,

Food was delicious and the servers are so friendly and nice!!! Thanks guys!! :)

Went there last week, as I was in the area. The guy who saw me to the table would not allow me to sit in the restaurant at the back, as he said "the owner is having a meeting there". I have never heard of such an excuse before. Instead he made me sit in the cafe area at the front, which has older decor and cafe-style chairs and tables.. I was charged £6 for bread, butter and pate. The butter was a small prepacked sachet and I found it tasteless. The two pates were also small sachets (not homemade) and I did not like the taste and could not eat them. The starter was mushrooms in wine. It tasted and looked to me as though precooked mushrooms had been put in the microwave. I found the taste of the wine overwhelming and could not eat the dish. At this point I obviously decided to not order anything else and walked out. I go to restaurants regularly and this is the first time that I have walked out of the restaurant not having eaten any of the food

This place is just exceptional ! The service, the food, the ambiance ,the value all excellent. We visited the place on a Monday evening, very neatly decorated throughout with comfy seating and dining tables. The staff are lovely, welcoming, and so friendly. They are happy to help and recommend what to choose, they are knowledgeable of the menu and give suggestions to alternatives of some dishes to personalise it to your taste. The food tasted fresh, nicely cooked and flavored it was just mouthwatering! Loved the fried calamari as a starter and mixed fried fish main but everything in general was so good. Portion and quality compared to price is very reasonable and I think its worth it. They also have a very tasty stout beer And also I love the water glasses they are just so classic. Finally, they were so kind to surprise us with a cake for my friend's birthday on the house. super cute ! Definitely recommend !

Great atmosphere and staff, but the food is overly fatty and salted, lacking flavour. It's a problem with other Portuguese places in the area. Too bad!

We enjoyed the Francesinha that comes with chips however it wasn’t our favourite in London. We also tried their fried sardines as a starter.

Best portugese restaurant of all time

Cosas sencillas y fascinantes portuguesas amigables con el espacio y comida de ambiente fantástico son deliciosos y la francesinha simplemente fantástico

Valentines day last night was amazing. Decor was simple but the ambiance was beautiful. Lights low, background music, TVs off, candle on tables, petals all over the floor; staff were so attentive, food was out of this world and the best part was at the end. We were expecting to pay so much more. Probably one of the cheapest restaurants in London ❤️ will be back on another occasion. Thank you all for making the day special.

Fantastic! From the welcome drink to the final port everything was amazing. Tuna on a stone was the highlight. Highly recommend.

Richard our waiter recommended the Esteva Doura to compliment our main course. The home made chocolate mouse was delicious especially with a couple of glasses of the «  Licor de amendos Amarga « Almond liquor Only 5 mins walk from Brixton tube station

Awful , non existent service. Dining area in need of deep cleaning/ hate to see kitchen!! If you like cigarette smoke with your meal this is the place for you!! Never again

Seems strange to describe a restaurant in central London as a great neighbourhood place but this most certainly is. Great value, super tasty food, nice staff. All within a 10min walk from the tube station. G The garlic prawn starter were particularly delicious as was the beef skewer.

Chips could have been slightly crispier as were a bit oily, shrimp dish was nice.

It seems to me that the owners abandoned the restaurant I ordered a feijoada à transmontana when I started eating plastic appeared in the food, horrible salt-free food I won't go back but not recommended terrible service

The best place in Stockwell to have a breakfast or any other meal

Good place to go in family or one good food good price drezh and familiar

Was starving so popped in and asked for "table for one"... sorry kitchen is closed... "oh no"... OK you want soup? "Yes please" . So I got soup.. It was proper delicious... a bowl of soup and a couple of Sagres. All good

Amazing service and food congratulations Fantastic service, food and staff are to be congratulated

Went with a party of 4, 2 dishes were good however the steak was tough and the cod bake was under seasoned and bland. Reasonable price, friendly staff.

Excellent food for affordable prices.

3 of us late lunch .... great food and very friendly staff and atmosphere ... highly recommended

We found this shop after a hike from the Algar Seco. It is just an 8 mins walk. We just wanna have a normal dinner after a long day but this restaurant amazed us. The atmosphere here is really welcomed. They gave us free Melon Champagne! Then the food and desserts are really really delicious! I recommend the brownie with ice cream. Dark chocolate and vanilla are definitely a match. We were served by two very friendly waitress, they are incredible! Having dinner here makes my day in Carvoeiro! Definitely will come back if I got the chance!

Been here many, many times and it does not disappoint. Very friendly, relaxed and reasonable. You are made to feel at home and the portions are most generous and most excellent. I often go for the clams in white wine sauce and then followed by the famous Francesinha toasted sandwich, which is washed down with Superbock. Having been to Porto some fifteen times, I would say this is authentic and the best Portuguese restaurant in the area.

Not suitable for vegetarians. Their substitution is sausages for everything, so we were given sausages for a starter and a main. They had no other options available.

If you are a vegetarian, don't bother. Their substitution is sausages for everything... very depressing. We had sausages for a starter and for a main. Very disappointing.

Super happy with the service and the food. Richard was absolutely amazing! We travelled over an hr to come here and honestly it was totally worth it. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Flavour is an explosion to your taste buds and all better for it. Love the way the menu is set out to show where area in Portugal where each dish derives. Special shout out to the staff from the manager to the waiting staff were fantastic. Loved the surprise of the pastel de nata shaped into my birthday surprise. Thank you.

I went for lunch and I was the only table the whole time but after the food you might understand why. Meet was absolutely dry, they disnt ask for the meat point (even if its grilled, in other portuguese places they ask you). The clams with white wine sauce most of thr half were empty, it was more sauce than clams and dessert was ok. Wouldn't go again

Very nice Portuguese food, amazing wines and the staff are super friendly. You can have a meal with great flavours and a cracking glass of wine for a fraction of what you would pay in most restaurants.

Had been before and loved it - but the quality and food itself has really plummeted in the 7 weeks since my last visit. Really disappointed and won't be returning. Had raved about the restaurant before.

Great atmosphere, the people are so them nice, kind and always ready to help. The food is Amazing, and presentation is perfect. I so recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent classic Portuguese restaurant, great steak and chorizo.

Absolutely fabulous experience today ! The fish of the day was delicious - same for the prawns as a starter. Clean space and fantastic service. Richard (our waiter - from Canada but fluent in Portuguese - pretty impressive !!!!!!) was super attentive and even gifted us a pastel de natal by the end! Completely changed our day - thanks for a genuine and fantastic service - we will be back and planning to hear everything about your future trip to Portugal You rock !!! Thanks a million, Marga & Khaled

They changed tables and chairs. Became very uncomfortable and small no space for plate and wine,water together. Food is far away from what use to be,now it seems like they are focusing on making money to expensive for the quality the offering. I had bacalhau a lagareiro for £24 and was rubbish too much oil the vegetables looked and tasted like were cooked on previous days…I been going to this restaurant for the past 24 years and saw to many changes but this time they failed to accommodate the customers. I don’t recommend anymore.

Honest review The service and food was very high quality, throughly recommend and would return back another time Thank you

Utterly delicious food from Portugal, delivered with a smile! Really can fault the choice and service.

Atmosphere was lovely but food nothing special to entice me to return. Warm bread before main meal was delicious.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The food was all very tasty and well made, with attention to detail and love. I recommend all Tugas and Tuga food lovers to come here! I am personally vegan and there are also very delicious vegan options with the same traditional flavor.

Me and my Portuguese boyfriend came here on our holiday to London. We are both vegan and we were really pleased with the attention and the love they have put on the meals. Kudos to the chef for achieving such great vegan tasty options for the traditional dishes. The love and attention to the flavour of the recipes can be felt on the "Cataplana da horta" and "Cogumelos a Bulhão de Pato". My boyfriend left the place feeling like he just had a piece of home and we cannot recommend this place enough.

Bacon sandwich was lush, latte was lush this place slaps

Para começar primeiro restaurante que vou que não tem o preço no menu...o comer nada em especial começando com o bacalhau com natas parecia soupa de natas...o bolo de bolacha não era fresco..pior restaurante português que já fui... definitivamente não recomendo.. Infelizmente..

No dia 1 de Janeiro de 2024 vim almocar com a minha Familia ao Cantinho de Portugal. Ja la vai alguns anos que nao vinha. Superou todas as nossas espetativas. AMAZING FOOD 😋 Com um som de Musica bem suave 👏Desde a Manager como o resto do Staff simpatia sem igual, sempre com um sorriso na cara dao de tudo para o cliente ficar satisfeito. Um promenor que faz toda a diferenca em um restaurante e ter a Televisao desligada. Assim as Familias e Amigos podem conviver mais a mesa. Muito obrigada por fazerem a diferenca. Ate Breve. Beijinhos Grandes para todos 😘❤️

Friendly staff. Sociable but not obtrusive. They know my order now off by heart now. Simple and humble with great Portuguese food. A favourite of mine.

Great waiter and delicious food, would go out of my way to come back

Lovely food, friendly staff, very authentic. As a portuguese it's amazing to have this place

Fantastic food, great ambiance and warm welcome any time of day. Highly recommended whether you are new to, or experienced with, Portuguese cuisine.

The food was delicious. The restaurant was packed and it was too noisy but despite that, the service was great and we will definitely go back! We had caramel flan as dessert, and I highly recommend it!

Amazing place to eat and drink any time of day. Beautiful decor and great food. Warm welcome to new customers and regulars.

Sabe bem trincar algo com paladar português. Espetada tenrinha, recomendo

Amazing food for a very reasonable price. The service was great and the staff very friendly. We will come back

Nice food, at affordable prices*****
