Consistently delicious food & homy vibe. Great service, you feel like you're eating at your grandmothers place. Definitely worth trying if you haven't already! The grilled Octopus is delicious.
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.

I took a traditional souvlaki plate with two sticks, the meat was pork. I also took a authentic beverage coming from Greece. Soggy/greasy potatoes, greasy rice that oozes of grease. The souvlaki sticks where rather of poor quality, with lots of greasy parts of the pork that were barely edible. I spent the rest of the evening with nausea from the meal, I guess my stomach disagrees with greasy foods. I felt very disappointed since a good friend had warmly recommended that place to me.
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.
Went for lunch with a group of friends, having looked forward to eating authentic prepared Greek food as experienced in restaurants in Greece. We were not disappointed! Many choices for everyone's taste. Most of us ordered from the ready to eat meals & one of us ordered the grilled fish which looked & tasted fantastic. I purchased meals to go including soup that were easy to freeze & have been eating them since then & they are amazing. Portions are Greek generous! My advice would be to phone ahead if making reservations in case there is a big group at the same time, as the space isn't that large & once a group of 10 or more arrive, it becomes very noisy. Having said that it just adds to the'typical Greek' atmosphere. Staff very welcoming, helpful & friendly. Service was attentive & accessible. We can't wait to go back even if we have to cross a couple of bridges.
Lovely family run restaurant , with nice atmosphere & great Greek food, highly recommended. Few if any Greek restaurants in Montreal can match the authentic food & vibe of this charming place.
