Très bonne découverte que je recommande si vous passez à Montréal! La nourriture est excellente & les portions généreuses. Mention spéciale pour la moussaka végétarienne qui était divine ✨
Le personnel est très sympathique, souriant & attentif. En bonus, une purée d'aubergines offerte qui était également délicieuse!
Merci pour votre accueil & ce petit geste :)

Better than the food served in Greece. So flavorful & full of soul. We had lemon chicken soup, lamb chops & filet mignon. All absolutely delicious. Don't forget the crème caramel dessert!!! Service was very friendly as well. I will dream about this meal!
Octopus starter & greek salad (no lettuce) were very good & substantial. We prefered the Lamb skewers to the Feta lamb but both were very good.
Come hungry.
Dès qu'on s'est assis, on a été reçu avec un excellent hummus, des boules de viande hachée & du pain grillé. ON THE HOUSE! Wonderful ! Les entrées & les repas sont savoureux & les portions sont généreuses.
Le service est amicale & bienveillant.
ANECDOTE IS THE PLACE TO BE ❤?

Great reception the minute we walked in. Friendly & helpful staff. We ordered tzatziki for our starter, it was delicious, served with a tasty flatbread. The main course was one grilled shrimp & one surf & turf. The shrimp for both meals were of a good size & were done to perfection. The lamb chops in the surf & turf were tender & succulent. The rice served with the meals was also very good as were the vegetables (generous portions of both). No room for dessert, maybe next time! Perhaps a window blind on the east side, as it was blazing there for a little bit.
I've gone to a lot of Greek restaurants in Montreal & this one is without a doubt one of the most unique ones.
The food - octopus, lamb, cheese..- was simply delicious. Everything was very obviously freshly made, & with love. The portions were also super generous which is quite rare nowadays. On top of that, the staff was incredibly sweet & welcoming, explaining all the meals in detail & chatting with us.
Super great atmosphere. I definitely recommend!!!
Un bel ajout au quartier! Les brochettes d'agneau sont cuites à point & la moussaka est délicieuse. Le service est excellent on s'est senti très bien accueilli, j'y retournerai sans aucun doute
Great experience! The fried zucchini & eggplant were delicious. The fish was so fresh & tasty & very well priced.
Very nice wine & beer selection.
Everything is brand new, very comfortable. Would definitely go again.
