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.
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.
Excellent mets grecs cuisiné sur place. Tout était frais, tout était fabuleux. Le service était coutois & très attentionné. On as pas attendus pour les verres d'eau & remplissage subséquent. Les portions sonts généreuses & très savoureuses. Poisson, agneau & porc. Entrée, gateaux & café. Le stationnement est un peu limité par contre mais ça vaut la peine pour sur & certain!
Bon, mais sans le WOW escompté. Le pikilia était standard, très petites portions. Le spanakopita était trop cuit, 4 petits morceaux de saucisse même chose pour la pieuvre qui ne goûtait pas grand chose. Les trempettes étaient dans de tout petits contenants, non pas comme en restaurant & servis avec de grosses tranches de pain style campagne grillé. L'assiette de souvlaki à mon conjoint laissait à désirer....le poulet était très sec & la portion etait loin d'être copieuse....pour le prix....Nous sommes très déçus!!
Solid home cooking - not typical restaurant items + some very typical. Can order a gyro alone or as a plate. Parking was ok, waiting a few seconds as a car was leaving.
très bon service, excellente bouffe, énorme portion & AUTHENTIQUE. Seul bémol, la proprio qui s'acharne auprès de ses employés en salle & en cuisine à chacune de mes visites
Went here in late 2023. Upon entry, we were warmely greeted by this lady who was explaining the process to us of how we can order. Then we had an excellent server who educated us on the items & recommendations. We ordered a lamb dish & calamari. Most of the food was excellent but the calamari we had was grilled style calamari, which was tough. We informed our server & his level of professionalism for handling the matter was top notch. We ended up ordering two teas & a slice of cake. He said since we were not completely satisfied with the one dish, the tea & dessert would be on the house. Thanks for the experience & will definitely return when I have a chance.
I can't rate this place high enough. Was visiting Montreal from Toronto for the weekend & always had a great experience with Greek food in the city, but this place takes it even a step further absolutely delicious food authentic, & very similar to the motherland. Wonderful service & a great vibe overall. I can't wait to come back.

Very flavourful gyros. Overall the food was good, but the service was disappointing. I ordered takeout- the plate with two pitas, asked for chicken but discovered it was pork when I finally got home. No big deal, it was still good. However I did ask for only potatoes & no rice. Instead I got a mountain of rice & two small pieces of potatoes. Not sure what's up with that. Willing to give it another try though.
