Établi en 2018, la Cantine Emilia a comme but de changer la façon que les mets portuguais 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.
Restaurant Emilia ressort comme un endroit où certains plats surprennent par leur saveur et leur sauce épicée, notamment un poulet et des chorizos appréciés, mais où d'autres avis relativisent le rapport qualité-prix avec des portions parfois petites et des plats jugés trop chers. La sauce piri piri est souvent saluée pour sa chaleur et son goût. Le riz bowls et la poutine reçoivent des éloges pour les saveurs et les textures, tandis que certains commentaires signalent un poulet sec, une absence de sauce ou d'ustensiles lors de certaines commandes. Le service peut être perturbé par des dysfonctionnements de caisse et la salle peut être très fréquentée et étroite, mais l'expérience globale est décrite comme attirante et à refaire par certains.
Very cheap business. They try to cut costs by cutting portion sizes. This was a BOGO from uber eats which I have gotten multiple times before & the portion was never this bad. They also changed their bowls to smaller bowls. Embarrassing. Not worth it for the price. The poutine is also made with stale fries & not fresh at all.

Fries are good & crispy, unseasoned though, could use a little salt. The piri piri sauce is very good & flavourful. The chicken is delicious but a bit dry. The chorico is huge & delicious. Overall good food that I would try again.
I tried their Chorizo bowl(rice + salad) with spicy sauce & it was delicious!! The rice was very flavourful
One of the best meals I had in Montreal. A must try if you're into bowls.
Disapointed. Ordered a chicken with spicy sauce & utensils. Got home. No sauce... no utensils. So i ate my dry chicken & cold fries & it was probably close to the worst portuguese chicken i ever had.
I'll give this place 5 stars just for the hot sauce. I drive from Vermont to stock up. Great hot sauce is all about flavor & consistency & this sauce has both!
Good first experience, nice food, Portugese beer available (with & without alcohol), had the chicken & chorizo rice bowl with good flavors & nice portion, however it had lots more chorizo & I would have preferred a balanced mix (or more chicken!). Would return, but in Le Central there are so many options that in the future I will explore other foods. Service was difficult due to their cashier system being down, had to pay cash or wait for a fix alongside other customers. Due to this issue, order was not relayed to the kitchen & after a 10-15 minute wait had to ask & then get it prepped, ended up eating after my partner. Le Central atmosphere is crowded, narrow paths, lots of elbow rubbing, but this is part of the experience & even if sometimes difficult to find a table, you go there for all of it. Will return!
