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.
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
Un restaurant vieillot mais avec un charme, plusieurs choix de plat du jour, la nourriture est ok sans plus. Pour la qualité & le cadre je trouve que les prix sont chers.

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%
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 ;) )
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.
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
