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.

Review Summary

Restaurant Emilia is frequently praised for its delicious, authentic Portuguese dishes and flavorful chicken, with many guests highlighting the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. While many reviews celebrate the professional and friendly service, there is a recurring concern regarding inconsistent portion sizes and rising prices, leading some long-time patrons to feel less satisfied than in the past. Other feedback points to occasional issues with order accuracy, food temperature, or preparation, though the consensus remains that it is a popular spot for tasty meals and exceptional house-made sauces.

Très déçu des quantités
On a pris deux bols frango, quasiment rien à mangé, salade cuite par la chaleur malheureusement, sinon c'est très bon!
& à quelques reprises se trompent de sauce lors de commande
Déçu pour le Frango

Far too salty, & if you order your base as rice instead of rice & salad, then the entire bowl is just a bowl of rice. No toppings no nothing. They categorize all other toppings as the base salad option, so be warned your $20 bowl will be a bowl of rice with a tiny bit of shrimp.

0/5 do no recommend
