Partez à la découverte d'Emilia, une cantine portugaise au coeur de Villeray avec une cuisine créative, où la richesse est à l'honneur.
Établi en 2018, la Cantine Emilia a comme but de changer la façon que les mets portugais sont servis à Montréal. Avec un « twist » local elle se fait un point d’honneur d’aller au-delà des tendances. Emilia propose un menu éclaté où les aventuriers autant que les amateurs de classiques y trouvent leur compte.
Les avis sur Restaurant Emilia soulignent une cuisine portugaise authentique avec des plats de poulet et du riz frais et savoureux et des sauces remarquables, le tout dans une ambiance calme et un service généralement très professionnel. Le poulet grillé et les bols se révèlent tendres et bien cuits, les accompagnements comme le riz et la salade avec sauce relevée recevant des retours positifs, même si certaines portions ont été jugées plus petites et les prix parfois plus élevés. Le rapport prix-quantité est parfois contesté, certains trouvant le coût élevé pour une restauration rapide tandis que d'autres apprécient des portions généreuses qui valent le goût et la fraîcheur. Le service est souvent salué pour son accueil chaleureux et son efficacité, avec des commentaires récurrents sur une expérience client attentive. Des plats comme le Medeiros bol, les sandwiches portugais et la poutine sont cités comme excellents ou très bons, et les sauces à emporter sont appréciées. Quelques retours pointent des faiblesses occasionnelles comme des frites froides ou une certaine variabilité selon les jours, mais l'ensemble demeure positif et invite à revenir.
We were in the mood for some poke bowl chicken but the Le Medeiros bowl had max 1/4 in pieces. The rice & salad with the spicy sauce we chose with the bowl was excellent. I will try their entire chicken from their menu next time , hopefully that will be much better.

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.
Fries arrived cold & it's 30C outside today, chicken lost all of its moisture... parts like drumstick, wings were completely dried, sauce was dried... I ordered in the past & it's typically a complete different experience but IDK... why serve cold fries & dry chicken ???

I've ordered from uber eats, & dined in for lunch & dinner. In all experiences Emilia's chicken is amazing & their bowls are a great healthier option compared to a lot of uber eats choices in the area!
Staff is kind, & their sauce bottles are a must to buy & bring home!
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
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).
Absolutely delicious. We have ordered via ubereats. Chicken was nice & juicy. Best portugais chicken I have ever tasted !!Their chorizo was real bomb ❤️❤️
We ordered the bowls for takeout. It was flavorful, but the downside is that it's extremely salty. I can literally make the same portion of unseasoned chicken & rice & mix it together & it'll be perfect. This amount of salt is not healthy.
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.

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.
