My favorite restaurant in Montreal! Delicious! The food is excellent and the staff are attentive, kind and generous! Someone wrote that their kitchen is dirty! No way. That is a blatant lie. I have been going for years. They are exceptionally clean and careful! A must!! Thank you for so many years of great quality food and impeccable service.

Amazing food! We’ve eaten here many times, and it’s excellent every single time! Definitely one of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal. Highly recommended! Last visited in September 2026.

I don’t get the 4.5, food was not great at all. Canned dolmadakia, bland lentil soup, no Retsina. Also the outdoor patio is tilted so you feel you’ll fall down your chair the whole time. Service was good though, and the wine serving was generous. But for that price I would rather go somewhere else. At least they had Greek music.

The waiter was very helpful and let us know that the portions are large, so we wouldn't order more than we needed. The mixed grill platter was delicious.
