Considering it was a Sunday, I found that to be quite impressive and a testament to the restaurant. The food was piping hot. So hot I couldn't even bite into it for fear of burning my mouth! I took the time to enjoy the fries which were quite enjoyable - crunchy and tasty. Also, in comparison to other restaurants... the chicken pieces were HUGE! You're very much getting your money's worth in that regards. When it had finally cooled down enough to eat... it was good. It didn't live up to the hype I was given before going in, but it was definitely enjoyable. The fried covering was crunchy and very tasty without it being overly oily. The coleslaw was different than what I've tasted before but after an intriguing first few bites found myself happily digging in. The biscuits were perfect: harder shell with a wonderful hot and soft interior :) I look forward to another visit to compare against this first visit.

The service was super slow as well, and nothing would be ready on time, even if take out was ordered way ahead of time. The chicken always tasted spicy, even when we would ask for no spice... So not too sure if the person on the other side of the phone would actually listen to us. The overall vibe in the place was definitely not welcoming... Everyone gave a very cold and bitter feel. Definitely not going back, and honestly wouldn't recommend.

The food is undeniably good and the portion are extremely large. One shortfall, the customer service is what you would expect from a very busy fast food restaurant:impersonal, expedited, borderline inexistant; but if you choose to come to Cantinho Express you come for the food and the simple eating experience, less for the decor or the cashier's smile. Come early and be ready to queue up for a while as there are only two cash registers and a few cooks. Service is quick and efficient. You get your own water and take back your tray.

They don't seem to get as much attention as some other poutine places, but don't sleep on this experience. For their price, it is a lot of food, one large serving of their 19$ grilled chicken with sausage and poutine is a great meal that will last you the entire day, it was more than enough for two. They debone two legs of chicken on top of the poutine that they pulled fresh off their grill! Service was fast, there is plenty of room to eat at the restaurant and they have a separate counter for the pastries. We had to get some of their Portuguese tarts (10$ for 6) and they were also amazing. Creamy, custardy, perfectly baked. It reheated well in the air fryer when we brought some back as souvenirs to enjoy. This is a place worth stopping by in Montreal, poutine in one hand and a batch of tarts for dessert on the other.

We got our food right away and everything was hot. They were also SO NICE. Ambience is also very homey: they have a karaoke machine in the corner! (Very Filipino home type of vibes which is fun) Fried chicken is the star of the show here. It's perfectly juicy, crispy on the outside and the seasoning they use is making me salivate as I think of it right now. So good! The spaghetti was alright - I thought it would be like Filipino spaghetti but it's less like that. You can also get it with fries! It's super awesome because they also have buko pandan, and it is NOT TO MISS! Please order it - well worth it! Overall, I think this is one of my new favourite gems in Montreal. Super sweet staff, great food, homey vibes. What's not to love?!

A friend of a friend recommended this place as a must try when we were in Montreal. Trendy? No…read more Loud? No. Tasty food in an old school setting? Yes! This restaurant reminds me of the types of places I used to go to with my parents and grandparents. It just brought back a sense of nostalgia. We got here right when they opened on a Sunday morning and were one of the first tables there. When we told the servers that we were visiting from the US and that Chalet came highly recommended, they took pity on us (rightfully so) and then gave us a 5 star experience. We got the chicken special that came with fries, baked potato, Cole slaw and chicken soup and you cannot forget about the gravy! I'm not a Cole slaw conossieur but it was some of the Cole slaw I've ever had. Very finely shredded and the perfect combo of tangy and sweet. The chicken was perfectly roasted and I was so sad that I was getting full off of all the homestyle sides that I couldn't eat all the chicken. But the gravy? Good god that gravy, it's been weeks and I'm still thinking about it. I'm not even a big gravy person but this was savory heavy with a kick at the end. They gave us multiple cups, one for dipping and one for slipping! Come for the food and service, this place is full of regulars and appreciate the hospitality from our servers (I believe Janet or Janice and another friendly lady!)

It has ev charging station (2, didn't saw any place to pay just plug and charge and clearly marked as customer friendly) which is very nice. The place has a bar (never saw one in a benny before) and it use little disc when you order to dine in that you put on a spot on the table and they know where you are. This allow them to bring you food at your table easily. There is 4 big tv with a portion of the menu that often get replace with ads. I hate when they do that, it slow down ordering cause the customer can't look at the menu anymore. I asked for a physical menu and it had more choice than what the tv was offering. I took a club with brown meat and brown bread and 12 mozzarella sticks. First the sticks. It's much more like bites, it's very small but good. The club itself is way better than what I had at my other benny but still feels very empty. Especially when comparing to clubs from scores that are so full, it was pretty thin. It reminded me of st-Hubert club but better. But at least, it had brown bread something the other place is always out. I'm not sure I got brown meat but that's not a big problem. It came with fries, coleslaw and sauce. We also took the chicken Cesar wraps. It was good. Came with fries and coleslaw. All in all, this benny was way better than my benny near my house, staff was very friendly and answered perfectly the question we had and food was prepared very fast. The star lost if because of the club having like half of it with meat, very thing, don't try to find the tomatoes. It could be way better for the same price.
