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.

I ordered 2 Portuguese poutines. She asked me spicy or not. I said Can I have on the side in those small plastic cup. She said no I have to charge you extra for it ... I mean Come On I'm buying 45$ for 2 poutines!. Plus they are smaller than before (almost half size) & on top of it they don't have anymore the Sao Jorge cheese curds on it so now it's just a regular poutine with some chicken en sausage. So thank you for the good memories. I'm giving 2* because it was edible & the place is always clean inside

Excellent sandwichs. La présentation des produits est particulièrement soignée & le service était impeccable. Je recommande vivement. À noter qu'il est possible de prendre à emporter & retirer les frites ou le riz pour une fraction du prix.

Rated 5 stars before but it's very meh now. Less tasty, smaller portions. Everything went downhill, we didn't even get salads last time. Don't know if this is a new policy or just that one time but there wasn't a vegetable in sight. Would not recommend this place anymore.

Nous sommes allés chercher des plats pour apportez & nous sommes tombés sous le charme! Non seulement le restaurant a un look adorable, la nourriture est excellente! Le poulet si tendre & goûteux, les portions sont généreuses, les frites sont très bien assaisonnées & le clou du spectacle est la sauce, elle est savoureuse! Nous y retournerons sans hésiter!

Une des adresses à laquelle j'allais souvent lorsqu'envie de confort food. J'y suis retournée dimanche & j'ai pris une cuisse & une salade en take-out qu'on a finalement mangé sur place. Ce que ça m'a coûté versus ce que j'avais dans mon assiette n'était pas à la hauteur. Le goût est toujours là, mais la quantité? Réduflation ici aussi. Je ne reviendrai pas.

My mother & i shared the half chicken meal. There are four big chunks of a chicken, we ordered oven baked potato instead of fries. The food is delicious with Amelie's special sauce. The service is adequate. I like the interior design, nice colors & decorations. Very clean bathroom. Will definitely stop by again.
