Hands down the best & freshest Greek food in all of Montreal! The staff treats you like family, overall incredible experience & I cannot wait to return.
We recently hosted a private event here for our daughter's baptism with 90 people, & it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible - truly top quality, authentic Greek cuisine! Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, & had our guests raving all night.
The service was out of this world - attentive, professional, & warm. The staff made us feel like family & took care of every detail so we could simply enjoy the celebration.
This is by far the best Greek restaurant in Montreal - amazing food, atmosphere, & people. We're so grateful to the team for making such an important day so memorable. Can't recommend them enough!
I recently returned to Elounda, a restaurant that had already captured my heart during a previous visit with a coworker, & this time I brought my family along. From the moment we stepped inside, I knew we were in for a treat.
We started our meal with the house pita served with oil & balsamic vinegar. It was a delightful introduction to what would be an incredible dining experience. For appetizers, we ordered the scallops & fried calamari. Both were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, & the sauce on the scallops was nothing short of phenomenal.
For the kids, we chose rose pasta, which was a hit with my 2-year-old & 6-year-old. As for the adults, we indulged in Elounda Shrimp-essentially a delicious shrimp Parmesan-lamb chops, & the Mediterranean Sea bass served with rice & veggies. I was thoroughly impressed by the speed at which our meals arrived & the quality of every ingredient. It was heartwarming to see my youngest try everything we had, expanding his palate in the process.
Now, let's talk about the service. Elounda excels in hospitality; from the moment we arrived until we left, we felt genuinely cared for. The staff offered thoughtful recommendations for our kids & even surprised us with special treats that left us feeling grateful. When they learned we were facing a 5-hour drive back home, they took the extra step to pack our leftovers carefully, ensuring we were all set for the journey.
Elounda deserves recognition for its exceptional food & outstanding service. I hope more people discover this culinary gem & experience the warmth & quality that make dining here a truly memorable occasion. I can't wait for our next visit!
Food was amazing & only topped by the incredible service. We had reserved for a family dinner for a birthday & they were so helpful & friendly in making this night unforgettable. We will definitely be back.
Dated family friendly restaurant with good service & high prices. The interior is in serious need of a refresh as it clearly is showing its age. The restaurant is 1 large open room so it was very noisy & I could hardly hear the person across the table from me. We were there on a Saturday night so it may be quieter at other times. The food quality was ok but not great. The greek salad was tasty but only came with 2 small cubes of feta cheese which was surprising for a $22 salad. The waiters were very attentive & refilled our water glasses often. Unfortunately, many of the fish on the menu were not available & all were listed as'market price'. The waiter told me that the sea bass was $46 so I ordered it but when the bill came, I was charged $70. Apparently that was the price per pound which I felt was a little dishonest. The rib steak was $92 which is excessive for this type of restaurant. The fries were very good & so was the saganaki cheese which was flambéd at our table.
My absolute favourite restaurant if I want to treat myself & family, have been coming here since childhood & for events like birthdays. I call it the Milos of Saint Laurent. Never had a bad experience, never had anything that was not fantastic ; the food is beyond amazing, so authentic. Can get loud inside but its a function of everyone having such an amazing time.
Someone told me that Elounda spawned from Milos. It certainly feels like it did. If you like Greek food, but especially if you like fresh fish, this is the place for an upscale business lunch or special family supper. Here, you've been invited to a family friend's house from the days of old, when entertaining was an art. Hardy, home cooked, healthy dishes served by a staff that makes you feel at home. The service is impressively impeccable. How lucky are we to have you in our backyard?!

We tried Elounda for the first time for a family diner to celebrate a birthday. The first impression was that for evening dining, the noise level was uncomfortably high. The Maitre d' noted our discomfort & moved us to a quieter corner. We found that the entrée menu was very interesting & probably more interesting than the plats principaux but we had no trouble finding something that pleased each of the four of us. The table service was very good, prompt & friendly. The quality of the food was much higher than average. For a suburban restaurant, I did find the total with 20% tip which worked out to $90 per person a bit high but in the post Covid era I guess the price of dining out had to go up. I would note one other thing. With the structures still deployed for dining outside, there is no conveniently located parking nearby reserved for handicapped patrons of which there were at least two or three in the restaurant when we were there.
Usually, it is very rare that a restaurant would impress me with their dishes & service. The case with Elounda was definitely the opposite! The dishes were impeccable & the service was great. Great support to greek family & owners of this wonderful restaurant! Definitely recommend 👌🏻✨🦞
The food was fantastic. We had the fixed menu for four. Started with salad, grilled octopus, fried calamari, fried zucchini & eggplant. Octopus was perfectly prepared, as was the calamari. The zucchini & eggplant were perfectly crispy. The main course consisted of grilled fish, chicken & lamb chops accompanied by rice & vegetables. All were cooked to perfection. This was topped off with delicious loukoumades & coffee. A perfect meal with family!
I was invited by a family member. It is one of the best Greek restaurants I have tried so far.
I am a seafood person, but the oven baked fish was so delicious that even a picky person like me can't complain. Enjoyed a lot.
Very friendly staff, which I felt like at home.
Highly recommended.

I have never given 5 starts across the board but this restaurant deserves it all. Without a doubt THE place to enjoy an amazing meal with family, friends & colleagues.
We were a group of 4.
Ordered several dishes to share.
The octopus was very good, the lamb chops were just okay , but not great, the Elounda Special was too oily, the shrimps were very large but way over cooked, calamari was good.
We had to order 4 dishes & share amount us , there was no "Family style" portions. disappointed.
Over all, this Resto is okay,but not worth the price.
Approx. $400 for 4 people tax/tip included, only one bottle wine @$40.
