[awll·ya'] · Irish
Irish word meaning 'home'. A gathering place for the people you love the most. A place where you open your heart and relax your mind. A place of feeling of belonging.

We believe the best moments in life happen around the table. The Emerald blends Irish warmth with Canadian hospitality, and it's a place for when you're missing home, or when you simply fancy some really good food.
We import the meats for our Full Irish Breakfast and use Irish butter, Irish meats and Irish mushy peas, so you get a real taste of home. Next to them on the menu you'll find the Canadian classics: peameal bacon, maple beans, the Club House.

From our family to yours
The Emerald is family owned and operated. Behind the counter is the family, our team of chefs and our front-of-house staff, and we wouldn't be here without every one of you who comes in to support us.

Sláinte.
