Reviews for Cantine Emilia (Villeray) in Montréal, QC

I've tried a lot of Portuguese spots in Montreal and honestly this one their chicken is very good! The only downside I would say... is that they put too much sauce in their takeout poutine. Other than that everything is really good Read more

Was excited to find a new place, that's where all ended. Food quality: 3/5, I love salt but it was too much, lots of spice... rubbed outside but chicken was dry inside, wasn't feeling good 10 mins after eating. Price: 1/5, whole chicken and 2 sides offries for 43$ (takeout), would be okay if was mouth-watering delicious or decent taste with generous portion. Read more

Portuguese Chicken/Chorizo Sandwich, Crispy Fries, Mixed Salad . As you can tell I love Portuguese Chicken haha. When it's done... well it's the best way I'd say that I like to eat this amazing produce. Personally, something cooking on the open fire, rotatingabove, like back in medival times really excites me. It cooks nice and slow and allows the flavours to really develop. . AtCantine Emilia they have some amazing prepared meats and choices for you to choose from. There chorizo is amazing, the marinatedpork chop is stealer and even the chicken on its own is juicy, flavourfull and nicely chard. But obviously the star move isputting all this in a sandwich and eating everything at once ????. . The combination of the meats are so good together. You getthe best of both world from the pork and chicken that are so widely used in Portuguese cooking. The homemade mayo and red sauceis amazing to accompany the sandwich with giving it the kick it needs. Served with crispy fries and a salad, what more can a guyask for?! ???? . Check them out, get some delicious marinated meats and have a great meal. Also check out there custom madepasteis de nata, there traditional but with a fun twist! Read more

This has quickly become my favourite restaurant over the last year. I was never a huge fan of Portuguese Chicken restaurants... that I?ve tried in the past, but I gave this a chance one day and I?ve been addicted ever since. Although maybe a littlepricier than other places, the portions are huge and they never skimp out on stuffing the plates, so it?s worth the cost. Myfavorite is La Tia Tina Sandwich (pictured) which has chorizo and chicken. I typically get the non-spicy versions of theirdishes and the sauce is sooo delicious. The mayo that you can get as an extra on the side is also so good to dip the fries in.If ever you?re not in the mood for the heaviness of fries, their side salads are also high quality, fresh and the salad dressingis beyond delicious and exceeds the expectations of a typical side salad. I pickup when I can but I also have ordered throughUber numerous times (understatement - it?s a lot) and it is always prepared quick and packaged great as well, with any/allinstructions followed. Only thing to note is I?m not sure how much consistency there is across their different locations - I?vetried two other locations and they were not up to par (in my opinion). This one which I think is the original location is by farthe best on all accounts. Highly recommend!! ?????????? Read more

Got this delivered and it was all delicious. Had the Maria Emilia which is a poutine with chorizo, chicken and their home sauce... (could be spicy or not spicy or no sauce at all). Fresh and flavourful all around but the chorizo was especially nice. Thenatas were great, perfectly cooked not too egg-y and not too sweet. The two little filled donut holes were alright but they wereonly there because i ordered mixed natas and i guess they didn?t have anymore so they threw those two donut holes in. All inall i?d definitely hit this place up again. Read more

This is a very aesthetically pleasing restaurant. It?s not really a sit down but you can take your order and they?ll give you a... number and deliver the food to your table. I?m not a huge salad fan but their salad was THE BOMB. I would go back just for thatsalad. They?re also super generous with their fries. Their chicken was great too, but not as spicy as people said it was. Theyhave different and fun flavoured natas too! Read more

One of the best resto Portuguese in Montreal The chicken is cooked in a perfection, the salad just wow and the French fried oh... my goodness not greasy at all. And the customer service is very good. Give 10 out 10. I strongly recommend this place. Read more

This restaurant is a great twist on your typical Portuguese Rotisserie. It's new, very neat, the staff is very pleasant and... gives good service. We had a bit of everything, the chicken was excellent, the chicken or chorizo poutine are a must try and thesalads are super fresh and tasty. All portions are generous and priced reasonably. You order at the counter and they bring youthe food...a concept I tend to like. Oh by the way... they have unique Nutella Natas... ouch!!! Read more
