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.

C'est toujours excellent. Service rapide. Parfois les frites ne sont pas suffisamment cuites selon moi. Un peu dispendieux pour de la restauration rapide. Je recommande ce resto

Nous étions des clients réguliers & fidèles de cet établissement, commandant fréquemment le plat phare : Le Medeiros (bol de riz & poulet), généralement dans sa version'1 pour 2'.

Malheureusement, notre dernière expérience a été une déception notable. Comme d'autres avis l'ont déjà souligné, nous avons constaté une nette diminution de la taille des portions. Auparavant généreuses, les portions actuelles ne sont plus suffisantes & laissent un sentiment de faim après avoir terminé le plat. C'est d'autant plus regrettable que cela s'accompagne d'une hausse des prix.

Il y a seulement deux ou trois mois, les portions étaient parfaites. La qualité de la nourriture reste, quant à elle, très bonne.

C'est avec regret que nous allons devoir cesser de commander. Nous privilégierons dorénavant d'autres restaurants qui proposent des portions plus justes en regard du prix. Vraiment dommage, car nous apprécions la cuisine.

Wow ! Mon copain a pris un demi poulet & moi, un bol chorizo/poulet avec les sauces à côté. Nous avons trouvé le tout excellent & très savoureux. On a été bien accueilli également, service au top. On reviendra assurément.

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.
