About

Restaurant Emilia specializes in authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled chicken prepared with traditional spice marinades and open-fire techniques. The menu centers on succulent poultry that undergoes a slow-roasting process to achieve a perfectly crispy exterior and tender texture. Beyond these signature protein offerings, the establishment features hearty portions of crispy fries topped with savory gravy and fresh cheese curds. This culinary approach bridges the gap between classic Mediterranean flame-cooking and local Quebec comfort food favorites. Guests find a focused selection of sides that complement the dominant grill-centric theme while maintaining efficiency. The dining space prioritizes utility and speed, catering to patrons seeking high-quality roasted meats and bold, savory flavors. Each preparation reflects a commitment to core ingredients without unnecessary complexity or elaborate presentation rituals.

Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia is frequently praised for its delicious, authentic Portuguese dishes and flavorful chicken, with many guests highlighting the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. While many reviews celebrate the professional and friendly service, there is a recurring concern regarding inconsistent portion sizes and rising prices, leading some long-time patrons to feel less satisfied than in the past. Other feedback points to occasional issues with order accuracy, food temperature, or preparation, though the consensus remains that it is a popular spot for tasty meals and exceptional house-made sauces.

The food was excellent! I didn't know about this restaurant before, but I'm so glad I found it. Everything was so fresh & delicious - definitely a 10/10 (or even 1000/10) experience! Highly recommend!

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.

Je change mon avis précédent, c'est toujours très bon mais la portion est devenu minuscule pour un menu a plus de 20 $

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!!
