Review Summary

Overall, Restaurant Emilia elicits mixed impressions from diners: some praise the freshness, bold Portuguese inspired flavors, and generous portions in bowls and chicken dishes, along with sauces that invite a return, while others report downsized portions and higher prices in recent visits, uneven quality, and moments of less attentive service. The service is generally complimented for professionalism and friendliness, although a few experiences describe slower or less attentive counter interactions. Several guests express a desire to return for the food and flavor, while others decide not to order again due to inconsistencies or dissatisfaction with certain items. Despite the varied experiences, the cuisine is frequently described as tasty and authentic, with many noting value for money when portions feel right, and some saying they will be back to explore more of the menu.

I recently ordered a meal from Cantine Emilia & got the'Pacheco' bowl. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I found an insect inside the food.
This is not something anyone expects when ordering a meal, & it raises serious concerns about food safety & quality control. I hope the restaurant takes this issue seriously & improves their standards.
I'm sharing this to raise awareness & hopefully prevent this from happening to someone else.

Quel dommage ! Après la fin des cartes de fidélité, maintenant la réduction drastique des quantités! Cela fait des années que nous venons ici mais malheureusement Cantine Emilia vient de perdre leur plus fidèles clients.

Quelle belle découverte!! Nous avons profité du weekend de Tennis pour déguster le menu de la Cantine Emilia!

Nous avons pris le sandwich La Tia Tina épicé avec salade & frites pour moi. Les frites sont excellentes & très savoureux avec le poivre!!

Nous y retournerons pour découvrir le reste du menu!

Tant savoureux!!

Délicieuse cantine portugaise. Prix légèrement dispendieux. Attention aux mélanges dans les commandes.
