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.
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.
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.
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!

Tried their chicken dish for lunch. It's in Le Central food court & could be crowded. Food was tasty & good volume. More on pricy side for fast food though.
We liked the setting & how many options were inside- very relaxed & everyone could get something they liked. We ordered the spicy chicken & shrimp with rice & salad. The food was great, with a good amount of spice. The girl working the counter was not the friendliest though & was off putting.
The food was pretty good they do have good chicken as you'd expect. What I did also expect was for the kitchen staff to respect minimum hygiene. Staff answers his phone with his bare hands then proceeds to prepare food with the same unwashed hand..
We paid more to take out the chicken & shrimp rice bowl, only to find out upon reaching home that we were given the cheaper chorizo instead of shrimp. We were cheated. Chicken was nice.

2 small black hairs in my dish today: Chicken Miguel. I was so digusted will never go back. People in the kitchen should ensure to wear hair & beard nets.
