Emilia is a hidden gem on Saint Catherine's Street in Montreal, perfect for anyone craving a quick bite or a satisfying meal while exploring downtown. Whether you're popping in for a snack or sitting down for something heartier, Emilia delivers with well-lit interiors & impressively fast service that keeps things moving without feeling rushed.
The chicken bowls are the standout-packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, & generous portions that hit the spot every time. They're customizable, so you can tailor your bowl to your taste, but the classic combo is hard to beat. Pair it with one of their large bottles of orange pop, which has a nostalgic, citrusy kick that complements the meal beautifully.
One of Emilia's best-kept secrets is their house-made sauces. Rich, tangy, & full of depth, they elevate everything on the menu. Be sure to grab a bottle to take home-you'll be glad you did when you're looking to add a burst of flavor to your own cooking.
Whether you're shopping, sightseeing, or just strolling Saint Catherine's, Emilia is a reliable & delicious stop. It's casual, convenient, & consistently tasty-a go-to spot for locals & visitors alike.

The food at Emilia is excellent - fresh, flavorful, & generous portions. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken with rice & salad; the chicken was tender, the sauce was delicious, & the veggies were crisp. The chicken bowl was also packed with flavor & very satisfying.
The only downside was the service. The waitress didn't seem very friendly, & I wasn't sure if it was a language barrier or just lack of interest, which made the experience feel a bit cold.
Still, the food itself is so good that it's worth coming back for. Hopefully the service improves, because Emilia definitely has the potential to be a perfect 5-star spot.

Great food! Service could be faster, but still good. Clean resto. Generous portion. One of the best Portuguese chicken places in MTL.

First time here trying their poutine, was surprisingly good!
Had the grilled chicken Poutine, I asked to have the sauce on the side, their mayo was good, gravy is lightweight not too salty, fries are so good not greasy at all. It's like a fancy version of traditional la belle province fries, naturally sweet soft & equally deep fried, just right! Grilled chicken is so tender & juicy.
Highly recommended!
However the Nata is too sweet & cold, did not like it. Don't order this.

Bon restaurant, mais beaucoup trop cher pour de la restauration rapide…. 28$ pour une personne, un sandwich avec accompagnement de poutine. C'est trop!

J'ai pris le grilled cheese (la Tia Natal) avec frites. C'était délicieux! Il y avait beaucoup de fromage, tellement que ça débordait. J'ai aimé le mélange de chouriço & de poulet & la sauce apportait un bon goût au sandwich. Il y avait beaucoup de frites & elles étaient excellentes.
Le service était bon. J'ai trouvé ça un peu long avant d'avoir mon plat, mais ça en a valu la peine. Je recommande fortement & j'y retournerai certainement!
Update : La poutine La Tio Matias est excellente!

C'est bon...mais il y a eu des erreurs dans notre commande & c'est assez étrange de devoir absolument passer par internet pour commander pour livraison.

What a treat this place is. I'm always so satisfied with my meals here & the chicken is always so so good. I'm surprised I hadn't written a review earlier. So consistent, delicious, heartwarming food- I could have it multiple times a week. 5 stars!

A good spot to grab a bite to eat. I got a spicy chicken bowl, & it was delicious! Serving was a good size for 1 person, left me full, compared to other dining spots down this strip. In the summer, it can get a little warm & loud in the restaurant, that was the only negative. Service was great!

It's now been 15 months since my first visit & I'm happy to up my first review to 5 stars across the board. I got the poutine with chicken & requested spicy. MASSIVE serving, & absolutely delicious!!! Les personnel sont complètement agréables, & les nourritures sont délicieux.

The food was actually so tasty. I had half chicken, it was marinated in a spicy yummy special sauce. I took a large fries & there was a lot of fries in a large box. The guy who served me was charming & friendly which makes the experience even better. No music or special atmosphere though, it looks like a fast food place.
