Reviews describe Christina's Cuisine as a warm, family run Greek restaurant that feels like home, offering authentic handmade dishes with generous portions and a strong emphasis on fresh ingredients. The menu ranges from seafood and souvlaki to moussaka and lamb, with several dishes that reviewers repeatedly call must tries, such as grilled octopus, calamari, and the roasted potatoes. Diners praise the friendly, attentive service and the convivial atmosphere that makes guests feel part of the family. Many comments tout the authenticity and consistent quality, with meals often compared to home cooking or meals in Greece. While the overall sentiment is highly positive and the value seen as fair for the handmade style, a few notes mention higher prices or occasional service hiccups, and some reviews point out a small, bustling space that can be noisy or less comfortable at peak times. Takeout and catering are cited as positive options by several guests. Overall, Christina's Cuisine stands out as a top pick for authentic Greek cuisine, celebrated for flavors, warmth, and a welcoming, homely vibe.
Last night, I found myself at Milos, a temple of fine Greek dining, the kind of place reserved for celebrations & special moments. It is a restaurant I know well, one I've visited time & again with a dear friend. This time, however, I went with intention. I ordered the porgy, the very fish I always choose at Christina's, curious to compare, to measure, to see if luxury could rival familiarity.
Ninety dollars later, the plate arrived. & I tell you, the moment my fork met the flesh of that fish, I knew. Instantly. Unequivocally. It did not compare. It could not compare. Christina's remains unmatched.
I left Milos satisfied by the oysters, yes, but with a quiet longing, a craving for Christina's that no price tag could soothe.
I have been going to Christina's for years, & not once-not once-has it failed me. The warmth of the crew makes you feel like family, & the food speaks for itself: honest, generous, unforgettable.
Do yourself a favor. You must go to Christina's. & whatever you do, get the porgy.

EXCELLENT 💕💕💕 resto familial, bouffe fantastique, prix excellent pour une bonne bouffe fait maison par Christina la maman!! Y'a de tout pour tous les goûts! Malheureusement, je prends pas souvent de photos, mais y aller c'est l'adopter. VOUS DEVEZ RÉSERVER AVANT D'Y ALLER! Très fréquenté & petit resto.
My husband's boss recommended Christina's Cuisine for authentic Greek's food. So glad we went. Highly suggest you make a reservation on weekends. Such a homey vibe. No pretentious food, just real good food. The grilled octopus is the best I had. Grilled calamari & moussaka were my kids favorite. My husband loved the lamb & potatoes. My first time trying kepasti & soooooooo delicious. Thank you for the great experience.
Recently went to Christinas for the first time, with my wife, & daughter. We enjoyed it very much. Food was great, service was terrific, & the suggestions, when we walked in, excellent. We will go back most definitely.
Impossible to get treated better.
From start to finish, the people running this place are really making you feel at home, like part of the family...
The food is BY FAR, the best in the greater Montreal in terms of quality, freshness & authenticity...
You can feel the love in the air in Christina's Cuisine...
Sincerely yours,

Christina's catered our son's pre-wedding event at our home. Cannot thank them enough for everything. The food & service was impeccable. Everyone loved it. We would not hesitate to have other events catered by Christina's.

I absolutely love Christina Cuisine in Laval! As a vegan, it can sometimes be tricky to find a restaurant with great plant-based choices, but they offer several delicious vegan options that are both fresh & flavorful. Dora is warm & welcoming, & you can tell she cares about the food & service. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for both casual meals & special outings. I'm so happy to have found this spot - it's quickly become one of my favorites in Laval. Highly recommend!!!
I really should not be writing this, the last thing I would ever want is this place to become too busy for me to get my fix.
BUT ! they are so so nice & it is so so delicious I can't help myself.
Our family has been coming to Christina's Cuisine for close to 4 years now & we have never been disappointed.
It's a family run restaurant full of as much charme as you can squeeze into a Laval strip mall. Somehow, once you take your first bite, everything just disappears & all you can see are the photos of Greece on the wall come to life.
Best Moussaka, best roast pork ever.
There is the Menu, where you will find all the Greek restaurant staples... & then, there is the daily specials under glass at the counter / kitchen. Always a fresh fish (if you get there early), vegetables, bean dishes, Lamb, pork & more right there laid out in front of you.
On top of all that, the service is outstanding & convivial.
Christina's Cuisine stands out as the best authentic Greek restaurant, surpassing all others I've tried, whether budget-friendly or high-end. The flavors, authenticity, & overall experience are unmatched. If you haven't dined here yet, you're truly missing out!
Christina's Authentic Greek Restaurant offers a warm & welcoming atmosphere, with friendly staff & truly authentic Greek cuisine. While some dishes can be a bit on the pricey side, the quality & overall experience make it well worth it. If you're craving a genuine taste of Greece, this place is highly recommended.

Very good Greek food prepared by Christina's family. You can experience as much as the standard greek food as well as you can try the traditional Greek recipes.
Incredible experience where Christina boarded us to Tessaloniki with her succulent Moussaka. It had everything in it, tasty potatoes, juicy eggplants, great cheese. & what about the cheese? The feta is also tasty, the salad is also extraordinary. Thank you for those souvlakis, & for this great foot.
Christina's has amazing, authentic Greek food. I was always reluctant to try the most famous Greek dishes (moussaka & pastitsio), but they turned out to be incredible, with so much flavor. 100% coming back for my favourite plate which was the moussaka. I also had the lemon potatoes, which were a bit too salty, but overall, good.
If we could give a higher rating we would! We were visiting Canada & were looking for a restaurant for a family celebration. Christina's Cuisine had an excellent rating so we made our reservation. We, along with our family, were quite impressed. Christina's exceeded our expectations on all fronts. The food, drinks & service were exceptional! Dora & Steve made excellent recommendations & the entire staff was extremely attentive. We were served authentic Greek food family style; octopus, calamari, psilokomeni, moussaka, pastitsio, lamb, chicken, rice etc. The portions were huge & delicious!! We even got to meet the chef & Christina herself! A great time was had by all & Christina's has acquired quite a few new customers / friends. We will be sure to make Christina's one of our regular stops whenever we are back in Laval. Helen & JB

Where should I start! Excellent food,superb service! Genuine Greek experience in taste & hospitality. Christina's is the place to go if you want to enjoy REAL Greek food. Recommended 100%
Amazing night a Christina's Kitchen . I have heard a lot about this place . I was in Greece recently , & this lived up to what we ate in Greece . Dora, suggested our meal & served it family style to 4 of us, & everything was perfect . Authentic , good food .
Dinner tonight at this little family Greek casual restaurant in Laval that was highly recommended ... Christina's Cuisine. When we walked in we were greeted & somehow it was clear that we had not been there before, so the man proceeded to show us some of the items in the hot case for tonight's specials with beaming pride (in case we were unfamiliar with Greek food). Although they didn't show our reservation, they sat us immediately (& the restaurant was full during our whole meal...with several people popping in for take away.) It was just a small strip mall restaurant, but it smelled wonderful & felt warm & welcoming & you could almost feel a sense of pride before you even started eating. We ordered a Greek salad (fresh, crisp, & good olives), calamari (meaty & crisp without being greasy), octopus (delicious & perfectly prepared, but a very small amount for the price), tzatziki (creamy & yummy, although I'd prefer a little more garlic, dill, & mint. I like to reek after eating this ;D), moussaka (Greek comfort food at its homey best), pork roast & potatoes (perfectly savory potatoes that Mitch went gaga over & a nice beautiful flavor to the pork...although I always find roast pork to be a little dry, so not my favorite...the flavorful juices served with it made it delicious, grilled lamb chops (absolutely Mmmmmm & my favorite ... although not especially meaty, very enjoyable & hit the spot). Mia & I got Aperol spritz's (that they made cute with some blueberries & sprig of mint) that were very Aperol forward, our favourite twist as we lean more toward a Aperol 3/Prosecco 2/Fizzy Water 1 ratio instead of the usual Prosecco 3 & Aperol 2 Fizzy Water 1 norm. We enjoyed our meal & all felt like this is the type of place that would be quick to recognize you if you came back & probably treat like family if you were a regular (especially having watched the staff's conversations & body language with everyone coming in & dining or picking up to go). We look forward to coming back & maybe next time trying a gyro or souvlaki! (A couple of photos we swiped from their website as we dove in & forgot to take pix! Thr rest are ours ;) )
Amazing food! We took out to eat at home & it was absolutely delicious! I find it hard to eat tasty food in Montreal but Christina's Cuisine blew me away.
What can I say about Christina's it feels like iam right at home eating grandma's cooking great greek food best part they have a hit table with authentic greek food ready for pick up no wait.
