O Cantinho de Portugal in Lambeth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best portugese restaurant of all time

Simple and fascinated Portuguese space friendly stuff and fantastic atmosphere food are delicious and the francesinha just fantastic

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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*****

this is a great portuguese retaurant, friendly staff, simply great food and chilled atmosphere, good value for money. Their "Francesinha" is a must try, a real mighy dish that will fill your heart and your belly

Have been going to this restaurant for years but menu has changed and missed my favourite Portuguese dishes on my last visit!

We had a tremendous lunch here, and the food and service were excellent. My wife had a lovely vegan sausage dish with chickpeas, peppers, aubergines, and fries. I had the flaming chorizo dish and the pork and clams. Very enjoyable and I will definitely be returning.

Tivemos uma refeição maravilhosa! 🇵🇹

Richard and Edna were amazing hosts! The food was both tasty and filling! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Went in for an impromptu dinner and had the best evening - food is delicious and the staff are an absolute delight can't wait to go back

If you want to enjoy Portuguese food at it's best, this is the place. Today I ate a "Feijoada a Transmontana" and it was just amazing!!

This used to be the best Portuguese food in London. Since covid the menu changed a lot and the food quality went downhill which is really sad. Early this year i went there and got pasteis de bacalhau which were still frozen in the core and the espetada didnt feel grilled, was like it was boiled. Went there again this weekend and carne de porco a alentejana was just blend, felt boiled instead of fried. Hope they can sort out the kitchen but im not sure im coming back

Cozy sweet restaurant, staff were hilarious and had a great chat while providing amazing service. Loved the small touches like a map of Portugal on the menu showing where the dishes were from

Um excelente local para comer comida portuguesa. Pedimos uns camarões que vinham com um molho excelente e umas espetadas à Madeirense que também estavam boas.

The food and the atmosphere are amazing. The service too is great, they were really helpful and informative about some questions we had. We will be back!

Excellent Portuguese food. Extremely good value and very large portions.

Fantastic traditional Portuguese restaurant. Great spot for hosting parties. We celebrated our 5th Wedding anniversary at Cantinho and the staff done a fantastic job catering for 50 people. The attention to detail with the decor and colour theme was amazing. The food was fabulous, the DJ played a great mix of music and a fantastic night was had by all. A big thank you to Carla, Richard and all the staff at Cantinho. We will see you all again soon for our next function Many thanks Rory & Marina

Feels like being back home in Portugal! Delicious authentic Portuguese food and exceptionally friendly service. A true Portuguese experience that I highly recommend.

Loved it here! The food was all made from scratch and tasted fresh and delicious! Sidney and Carla were brilliant, great customer service, we’ll definitely be back, thank you!

Decent food decent prices, Food came out Luke warm which wasn’t a perk of my meal but friendly sevice

Advertised as a family run business we were surprised the manager wasn’t Portuguese. When we arrived there was a luke warm welcome so we didn’t feel comfortable. The food was very good (although very limited menu) and our Brazilian waiter lifted the evening. Prices a little on the high side but portions substantial. Sadly we won’t be returning. It’s expensive going out these days and you want really good service from the front of house.

Friend and I were venturing into Brixton, and our eyes met with this cosy restaurant. We saw the prices and thought Wow! Amazing, and the names interested us. So we sat down and ordered two desserts to share; the Pudim de ovos and Bolo de bolacha. So incredible! Didn't expect the coffee undertones in the Bolo de bolacha, and the Flan cake was irresistible and soft and tender! Next time, my friend and I will enjoy the sandwiches.

Had a lovely lunch at this Portuguese restaurant near Stockwell. It was all so good - food, waiters, and the atmosphere. The waiters were friendly and very knowledgeable when it came to the menu. I got the bacalhau com natas. Satisfying and hearty baked dish with saltfish, potatoes, cream, and cheese. The waitress also gave me olive oil and vinegar to help cut through the richness. Was a perfect dish for a gloomy day in London. The restaurant itself felt like something that came straight out of Portugal. Even the coffee cups and sugar! Would definitely go again if I ever want to satisfy my Portuguese food cravings. Would highly recommend newcomers to go too.

Not a very extensive menu, but the dishes they have are traditionally Portuguese and very tasty (the ones we tried). The bacalhau à lagareiro is smaller than I had expected, but it’s still a decent portion. If you have a starter as well, it’s sufficient food. The sautéed clams were excellent! I’d visit again. The prices are medium range.

Simpatia no atendimento e na recepção. Infelizmente a comida estava péssima! A comida portuguesa é bem melhor do que isto!

A beatifully fitted-out venue with very welcoming staff. They were helpful throughout the visit. My mushroom starter and Bacalau com natas main course were both excellent. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend it.

We visited with friends for dinner. It's a very authentic place and the staff speak Portuguese too. Great food and well-sized portions. It took quite a while for the food to be prepared but that didn't affect our experience.

Fue una comida exquisita, fuimos mi pareja y yo. Recibimos un trato muy agradable y comimoa una carne t un pescado deliciosos

Excellent food. There's a lot of Portuguese dishes, from each of the regions of the country, so for sure there will be something for every taste. The main course tasted delicious, and the desserts are just as typical. It's very easy to forget that one is the UK while having a meal at this restaurant, as it really looks and feels like a Portuguese place.

Myself and two friends had a wonderful meal at this restaurant! They were very kind, accomodating and friendly. One of the party, being Portuguese, was very impressed at the authenticity of the food! Brilliant all round!!! Will definitely be back.

Great place for dinner with friends with amazing food. It is a must! You will remember Portugal in this place

Dropped in to kill time while my kids were at Brixton Academy. Treated myself to a superb meal. Sardines to start we’re excellent.

This is my go to Portuguese restaurant when I miss my mum's food. Amazing and tasty food, very friendly staff and fair prices.

Once again, after numerous visits this place never ceases to amaze me. From the exquisite Portuguese traditional food to the lovely, on point, friendly service from the whole team, this is a must discover restaurant within the massive Portuguese community in London ! An experience...

What an amazing evening we had. It’s our regular place for meet ups now😃 eat, drink and chill. Can just go for drinks with mates and get some starters to share

Good very tasty and super friendly staff, especially Carla and Ricardo. We came to celebrate a birthday and the cake was really good.

I came here on a fine Friday evening with the wife and 2 children. My kids are very picky and usually only eat chicken nuggets when we go out but this exotic varied menu really pleased me and my family. Very happy and satisfied and...

We had an amazing friendly time. Tasteful food, fresh flavours, nice atmosphere and the staff, Carla, Lurdes and Ricardo are friendly and helpful. Just a little bit priced but worth…

Came here for lunch. Massive chicken mayo sandwich with home made crisps for only 3.50. They even have a loyalty card for lunches so on the 5th day the sandwich is free. My fav place for lunch 😃

Brilliant service (thanks Richard!) and delicious food. The bachalau con natas was amazing Will definitely return! Thank you!

Richard recommended all our food and he was completely spot on. He is very knowledgeable, patient and funny, so when you do visit, tell him to surprise you. He will do so, in a great way! Thank you very much, Richard!

Great atmosphere, friendly service and authentic Portuguese food. They have an amazing vegan menu including vegan francesinha with vegan cheese, vegan sausage croquettes and feijoada. They also have some great vegan desserts like rice pudding and chocolate mousse.

I have dined at many Portuguese restaurants and I can say that this restaurant has been the best experience I have had. The staff are very welcoming and the service is brilliant. I tried the octopus rice (arroz de polvo) and it was amazing! Worth...

Ricardo is the best waiter in the world. The food is brilliant and service is 5 stars. I definitely recommend coming to this restaurant if you really want a taste of Portugal

Service was amazing and the food was excellent. If you want to have a good time come here. Best Portuguese restaurant i’ve ever been to.

Went for a night out with some friends for a christmas dinner. Brought along some of our children. We were 12 in total. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The food was out of this world. The presentation, the taste and the quantity was...

Wonderful service come here all the time, if you don’t come here I’m sure I’ll force you to come here! Thanks to Ricardo e Lurdes wonderful service
