Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia is described as a welcoming spot with smooth service and generous portions across a menu that pairs Portuguese inspired chicken dishes with poutine and other comfort items. Flavor is a common high note, with chicken noted as well cooked, sauces delivering punch, fresh bread, and desserts like nata described as delicious; several reviews mention the restaurant's warm, cozy atmosphere that feels like a little piece of Portugal in the city. Some experiences vary, with a few diners finding the fries soggy or the chicken either too salty or mild, and a handful of comments about uneven welcome or service. Takeout is frequently praised for freshness and value, and many reviewers say they would return to try other options on the menu. Overall the impressions lean positive, highlighting generous portions, good value, and a vibrant vibe, with the caveat that consistency can vary between visits.

I tried the La Tia Graça chicken sandwich at Emilia & it was absolutely delicious! The bread was fresh, the chicken juicy & well-seasoned, & the flavors came together perfectly. It's simple yet full of authentic Portuguese taste.

The staff were friendly & welcoming, & the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy & inviting. It really felt like a little piece of Portugal in the city.

If you're looking for authentic Portuguese comfort food, I highly recommend Amelia - especially the La Tia Graça sandwich!

Even though the service was friendly, I feel like they were not super welcoming. We felt like we were a bother when walking into the restaurant & sitting down. The food itself was fine. The fries were quite soggy & a bit burnt. It was the first time that I was having poutine & not finishing the fries. The sauce was decent in flavours but I wish it was less watery & a bit thicker to complement the rest of the poutine. The cheese & the homemade sauce were both pretty enjoyable & the chicken was tender which was great. The salad was made up of kale which was a bit too dry for my liking. The small restaurant has nice interior decorations but I feel like all the tables were left dirty. Most of them still had sauce stains or liquid on them which made it less appetizing eating there. The food in delivery is pretty much the same but a bit less enjoyable since the fries are even more soggy & the sauce more watery.

Went for a salad & a poutine; neither are particularly good.

The salad had slimy skin, chicken bones & ligaments that I simply gave up on it. I guess if you're one of those to devour all parts of an animal this salad is for you, but I was expecting clean chicken breast.

The poutine sauce was good, cheese was good, fries tasted like they had been cooked many times over. The potatoes had no mash to them when you bite in.

Meats were the same quality as the salad, but the skin was better masked by the heavier flavours.

Portions were great.

I bought a natas; they looked super good, but I'm saving it for later.

Overall; it was fun to try, but we won't be returning.

First time here & I must say, my kids loved the food. The dessert was amazing! Great twist with the Oreo & Nutella Nata's! The cashier(girl) was very friendly & added some extra Nata's for the wait. Will definitely recommend!!!

The chicken is not cooked over charcoal like real Portuguese chicken. It tastes oven baked & the only seasoning is the sauce they put on top .The chicken itself is bland. Salad is not Portuguese dressing, but still tasty & so were the fries. The people were very friendly. I was craving authentic Portuguese food….this was not it.
