Several reviewers mention high price and inconsistent execution such as dry chicken, under seasoned elements, or missing sauce and utensils when orders arrive, and occasional service delays due to payment system issues. The atmosphere is described as crowded and narrow, which adds to the lively experience though it can be challenging to find a table. Nevertheless the hot sauce and certain dishes tempt repeat visits, and some diners say the meals are among the best they have had, prompting them to return to explore more options. On balance, Restaurant Emilia delivers memorable flavors and strong sauces that many appreciate, but consistency in preparation and value, plus occasional service hiccups, influence overall satisfaction.View restaurant profile

Reviews of La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal show a mix of strong bagel praise and uneven service experiences. The bagels are frequently described as fresh and very tasty, with favorites including sesame seed, everything, pesto chicken, smoked meat, and turkey and brie, and toppings such as pesto cream cheese or olive cream cheese noted as delicious; the coffee also earns praise. The ambiance is often described as cute, peaceful, and conducive to reading or studying, with a welcoming and friendly staff at times, though several comments point to unfriendly or slow service, missed or wrong orders, and attention to detail that can vary. Some critiques mention reheated fillings or salads and a dessert such as baklava not meeting expectations. The surrounding area is viewed as a bit run down by some, but the interior is consistently praised for its atmosphere. Overall, it emerges as a place for bagel lovers who value quality toppings and a pleasant setting, while service consistency and occasional missteps keep some customers from returning.View restaurant profile
Reviews of CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice highlight good tea and friendly staff, with an impression that it is worth a Chinatown detour for solid bubble tea and in some cases the best bubble tea in Canada. Service is noted as excellent, including a correction of a wrong order from another branch that left customers satisfied. Strawberry shakes with real fruit chunks are praised, while the mango shake sometimes has a tea aftertaste. Late night visits describe fresh tapioca pearls and well balanced drinks, with a popular choice of passionfruit green tea with boba and coconut jelly, ordered with less ice and regular sugar. Other points mention wishing for more boba, and grass jelly arriving in large chunks that require breaking. A taro classic bubble tea is seen as nice, and a French language note recommends the milk tea but mentions seating is limited.View restaurant profile
