Discover Emilia, a Portuguese diner in the heart of Villeray with creative cuisine, where abundance is in the spotlight.
Established in 2018, Cantine Emilia aims to change the way Portuguese dishes are served in Montreal. With a local "twist", they have made going beyond the trends a point of honor. Emilia offers an explosive menu where both adventurers and fans of the classics will be satisfied.
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.
I ordered 2 Portuguese poutines. She asked me spicy or not. I said Can I have on the side in those small plastic cup. She said no I have to charge you extra for it ... I mean Come On I'm buying 45$ for 2 poutines!. Plus they are smaller than before (almost half size) & on top of it they don't have anymore the Sao Jorge cheese curds on it so now it's just a regular poutine with some chicken en sausage. So thank you for the good memories. I'm giving 2* because it was edible & the place is always clean inside
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.
Rated 5 stars before but it's very meh now. Less tasty, smaller portions. Everything went downhill, we didn't even get salads last time. Don't know if this is a new policy or just that one time but there wasn't a vegetable in sight. Would not recommend this place anymore.

Nous sommes allés chercher des plats pour apportez & nous sommes tombés sous le charme! Non seulement le restaurant a un look adorable, la nourriture est excellente! Le poulet si tendre & goûteux, les portions sont généreuses, les frites sont très bien assaisonnées & le clou du spectacle est la sauce, elle est savoureuse! Nous y retournerons sans hésiter!
Une des adresses à laquelle j'allais souvent lorsqu'envie de confort food. J'y suis retournée dimanche & j'ai pris une cuisse & une salade en take-out qu'on a finalement mangé sur place. Ce que ça m'a coûté versus ce que j'avais dans mon assiette n'était pas à la hauteur. Le goût est toujours là, mais la quantité? Réduflation ici aussi. Je ne reviendrai pas.

My mother & i shared the half chicken meal. There are four big chunks of a chicken, we ordered oven baked potato instead of fries. The food is delicious with Amelie's special sauce. The service is adequate. I like the interior design, nice colors & decorations. Very clean bathroom. Will definitely stop by again.
It's okay. It could be better, fresher & have more interesting plates. I took an Emilia bowl, chicken & chorizo, its a 7/10. Lack of flavours & variety in my opinion. Service is also okay, the cashier completes all his uber orders before serving anyone waiting to order at the restaurant(doesn't make much sense).
I have rarely experienced people who were so kind & conscientious with food allergies. The patiently checked the labels of all the sauces to make sure I could eat them despite daily & soy intolerance. Really amazing service!
We ordered from UberEats & were blown away by the amount of food & its elegant presentation. You can tell the cooks care & take pride in their quality dishes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
