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 reçoit des retours mitigés, avec des compliments sur des saveurs franches comme le chorizo, la sauce piri piri et les sauces piquantes, ainsi que sur les poutines et sur le service attentif dans plusieurs avis. D'autres évoquent des portions modestes, des prix plus élevés et parfois du poulet sec ou des soucis de livraison comme l'absence de sauce ou d'ustensiles. Dans l'ensemble, les retours positifs portent sur des plats savoureux et des sauces intéressantes qui donnent envie de revenir, tandis que certains avis soulignent des incohérences et des questions de rapport qualité-prix.
J'ai pris une poutine poulet chorizo très copieuse & assez bonne. Cependant, je trouve ça assez cher. Une poutine, pasteis de nata & super bock 40$… c'est très excessif.
Pour l'accueil, c'est très limite. Quand on arrive la personne qui est chargée de prendre les commandes a un casque audio sur la tête & sur son téléphone. Je trouve ça très limite dans la restauration.
L'ambiance été vraiment cool. Il y avait un dj qui faisait un excellent boulot !
Very good & very flavourful, i enjoyed'Le Ferreira' (chicken & shrimp) with a side of fries! Would definitely of enjoyed a little bit more salade but overall very delicious! The employees are very nice & they take the time to explain to you the menu!

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!
