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.
A family-owned restaurant serving up authentic Greek food. It was our first time here & both the service & atmosphere were very welcoming - our waiter took the time to explain the menu & the daily specials. The ambience is cozy & great for small groups. We ordered the pork gyro pita plate & moussaka, & both were good. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
My favourite greek restaurant in Laval!
My go to appetizer: artichokes
Everything is delicious especially the moussaka, the chicken gyro & anything on the hot plates.
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.
Went for takeout for lunch. They are quick. We ordered the chicken souvlaki pita & a moussaka. The pita bread was excellent & the sandwich was well dressed with just enough tzatziki but not so much that it was dripping & messy to eat. The flavor of the sandwich was well balanced but the souvlaki could have used a little more marinating but I am nit picking here. The moussaka was very good but a little bit on the oily side. Overall 2 good dishes & if I'm in the neighborhood I would return & try there other offerings.
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.
We had a family dinner here, & we're impressed with the quality of the food. Kalamaraki was outstanding & the marinara sauce was excellent. Generous souvlaki sticks & great gyros. Moussaka was rich & perfectly baked.
We had been meaning to try this restaurant for quite some time. We finally had the opportunity last Saturday evening, we were a group of 6. Make sure to reserve as this place is always full, there are limited tables. From the minute we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. We mentioned it was our first time, so we were shown the daily specials, they included roast pork, roast lamb, rabbit stew, veal, moussaka, ziti & stuffed peppers, all made fresh that morning. The roasted potatoes were also amazing. We tried almost all of the daily specials between us & we all left very full & with leftovers for lunch. The service was friendly & very helpful, we're definitely going to be back, & soon ! Thank you for a wonderful, authentic, Greek experience. Until next time :-)
Where to start? Walked in without a reservation, around 3pm.
Ordered the moussaka & the souvaki combo platter.
The moussaka was delicious & smooth. The souvlaki was cooked to perfection, you can taste the charcoal & the authentic flavours of greece. The baked potato however, takes the gold medal. I can't remember the last time i ate potatoes this good. Slightly citrusy & soft that it melts in your mouth.
If you are looking for authentic greek food in Laval, this is the place to be.

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.
Everything is quite delicious & has an extra home made feel to it. Similar to your yaya making food at home for you to enjoy. Service is friendly & authentic. Go to dishes are the roast with the roasted potatoes & the moussaka. But honestly everything is 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
I'm a big fan of this restaurant. They have 2 menus. One with more traditional plates like gemista, roast pork, roast lamb, moussaka, pasticio, etc. & the other like pikilia, souvlakis, chicken, etc. I always go for traditional & never have I ever been dissapointed!!! Prices are not cheap but portions are great & everything is fresh & flavourful. Staff is really friendly too. This place is simply great. Go already!
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 ;) )
I love Greek food & I love small cozy areas & that's exactly what this place is delicious, great food & a really cozy restaurant. Had the calamari was great. Greek solid. Fantastic. They had a nice display of traditional Greek dishes like moussaka & pastizio along with fish & so many different things to choose from. The tzatziki was to die for. Definitely going to come back. Definitely recommend it
