About

Restaurant Emilia specializes in authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled chicken prepared with traditional spice marinades and open-fire techniques. The menu centers on succulent poultry that undergoes a slow-roasting process to achieve a perfectly crispy exterior and tender texture. Beyond these signature protein offerings, the establishment features hearty portions of crispy fries topped with savory gravy and fresh cheese curds. This culinary approach bridges the gap between classic Mediterranean flame-cooking and local Quebec comfort food favorites. Guests find a focused selection of sides that complement the dominant grill-centric theme while maintaining efficiency. The dining space prioritizes utility and speed, catering to patrons seeking high-quality roasted meats and bold, savory flavors. Each preparation reflects a commitment to core ingredients without unnecessary complexity or elaborate presentation rituals.

La nourriture est délicieuse, mais l'organisation du service est très mauvaise. J'ai commandé en ligne 45 minutes d'avance sur le site web pour récupérer ma commande à 18h30 & quand je suis arrivée j'ai dû attendre plus de 45 minutes avant que ma commande soit prête. Les employés étaient visiblement débordés & désorganisés, entre les commandes en ligne, en salle à manger & via les apps de livraison. Peut-être prévoir plus d'employés dans les moments à grand achalandage &/ou faire de la formation pour vos employés pour gérer le trafic & les priorités.

My husband & I visited this past Monday & were excited to try the food for the first time. After placing our order & waiting a short while, the power at the restaurant went out. There were two young men working there who seemed to be brothers! We were surprised to witness how fast they thought on their feet prioritizing the customer orders that they had pending. They were going through receipts with their phone flash lights, staying on top of uber eat orders & communicated very well with the kitchen staff what food was needed. The wait was quite long which was completely understandable due to the unpredictable circumstances. They also apologized for the delay & offered a free dessert of our choosing! The owner/manager of this location should be VERY proud of these two young men! It's important to mention that the food was also delicious. We will definitely be returning!

j' ai pris un bol Pacheco & c' était délicieux, tout près du Parc Jarry. le temps d'attente était correct vu l'achalandage (15 a 20 minutes)

Petit restaurant de quartier avec une ambiance locale. Le temps de service est raisonnable & le personnel est courtois. Seul bémol, les frites sont très salées à mon goût personnel.
