Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia is described as offering fresh chicken and rice bowls with flavorful sauces and a welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are praised for taste and generous portions by many, though some note rising prices and smaller portions in recent visits. Sauces and the core Portuguese inspired flavors are frequently highlighted as standout features. Service is consistently praised for friendliness and professionalism, but occasional longer wait times and inconsistencies like fries arriving cold or chicken drying out are mentioned. Overall the reviews point to a strong go-to option for tasty, hearty meals with plans to return, while a few diners feel the value for money has diminished.

Très déçue de mon sandwich :(
Le poulet (les 3 morceaux) aucun goût. & le fromage squish très très décevant. Juste goût salé, même pas une texture sympa. On s'attend à un sandwich goûteux, avec le poulet & mayo, mais ils ont réussi à enlever les saveurs...pour 20 dollars c'est dommage...

This was not a shining experience but it was likely circumstantial to the kitchen staff at the time. I ordered the Tia Natal, a grilled cheese featuring portugese chicken, chorizo & cheese curds. This sandwich by itself totaled to about $20 after tax & tip. I will say that the cashier gave me great service. For the price though, this sandwich was disappointing. A grilled cheese is supposed to hold together. Since this was relying on cheese curds, they did not get them to sufficiently melt so the sandwich was falling apart. Wait time was a bit long & it seemed overdone as well so the cook likely left it on the grill for too long while doing something else. Dish came with a mountain of tasty fries which at least ensured that I was full from the meal but I really wish I had chosen a different sandwich or someone else made it.

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!!

Excellent sandwichs. La présentation des produits est particulièrement soignée & le service était impeccable. Je recommande vivement. À noter qu'il est possible de prendre à emporter & retirer les frites ou le riz pour une fraction du prix.

I order from here for our office at least once a month. Food's great & I never get any complaints. The regular chicken plate, crispy chicken sandwich, homemade chips & roasted potatoes are all really good.

It's nice & clean. Food is tasty, bu it is a little cheap on the amount of meat 🍖 in the sandwich 🥪. I still go for more food there 🙌

Very nice & comfortable place to eat, plenty of variety. We went specifically for their Vegan Chicken sandwich. Nicely seasoned with a Portuguese bun & the seasoned fries are of the chart. Everyone enjoyed the meal & our non vegan guest loved there chicken legs. I will definitely go back again & looking forward to our next visit. Just an FYI if your visiting the city & don’t read French the staff are so amazing & walk you through the French menu.
