Cantor, a milanesa restaurant from the Baqueano family, opens on Western Road

The team behind Baqueano and Malo Empanadas is opening a third Argentinian place at 72 Western Road, built around the breaded cutlet.

Cantor, a new Argentinian restaurant at 72 Western Road, opens today. Its owners say they are “putting the milanesa in the spotlight”.

A milanesa is a thin slice of beef or chicken, breadcrumbed and fried. Cantor’s website compares it to a schnitzel “but with an Argentinian soul”. It is a dish built for toppings, and the site lists cheese, ham, tomato and fried eggs.

The same family is behind two other Argentinian places in the city. “We are the family team behind BAQUEANO Steakhouse and MALO Empanadas,” they wrote on the site. They count steak, empanadas and milanesas as the three staples of Argentinian food, and said the new restaurant “completes the trio”.

The website still says Cantor is coming this autumn and does not list prices or opening hours. The Monday opening date comes from Marley Dizney’s This Week in Brighton newsletter. Cantor’s own site is the place to check for menus and bookings before you go.
