Best Greek restaurant in Montreal, hands down. The worst thing about it is the decor, but who cares! the food itself is to DIE FOR & the service is fantastic. Fresh fish, amazing tzatziki, can't be beat.
First time there ; I definetely recommend the grilled octopus salad; divine ( just as our waiter Peter advised)
Also, the fish is fresh & well cooked, lobster tail.
As a side dish I expected Greek potatoes; we got rice instead & it was bland, as were the veggies.
I had the chance to try Elounda for the first time & what a gem!!
The food is delicious. Our waiter definitely suggested all the right meals - special mention to the Chilean bass (or Patagonian Tooth Fish) - absolutely to die for !!!
Special thank you to John for being an amazing waiter - fun & energetic, we were well cared for.
can't wait to be back!

I do recommend this restaurant to everyone! The reason I marked it a 4* is that we found the delicious calamari's that we took has an appetizer we're very expensive at $38. Actually for $20 more I got my main meal which was the bass fish which was delicious! However my husband took the pasta with mussels & shrimps & the sauce wasn't that great, very oily (but this is a Greek restaurant) so he should have taken lamb 🤪 overall I would definitely go 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.
With all the restaurants in Montreal I chose this restaurant for my 65th birthday. Although I hadn't been there in years my memory of having one of the best pieces of fish I ever had was there. As a pescatarian this was higher on my list. I suppose things have changed because I could no longer order a lovely fillet but had to buy a whole fish & there were none that were small enough to feed just one person. I pivoted to what I thought would be a tuna steak but ended up being tuna tataki & not many pieces. To be honest it was very underwhelming as I could get this pretty much anywhere. Wish I could have a do over but you only turn 65 once. After posting I received a response from Elounda inviting me to try again- no thanks, I have a list of other places that are now higher on my list. :)
All your reviews are 1-2 stars , and we have MANY many options of filets on our menu maybe you didn't bother to look ? We hope others will take your review with a grain of salt considering all the information and considering we have mostly only 5 star reviews , thank you
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?!
Venturing into Elounda, a Greek seafood haven, proved to be a culinary adventure that left a lasting impression. With a menu steeped in the rich flavors of the Mediterranean & an ambiance reminiscent of the Greek isles, Elounda delivered a delightful experience. The culinary journey began with a classic appetizer, the Kalamari, which showcased the chef's expertise in preparing this Mediterranean favorite. The succulent & perfectly cooked calamari set the tone for the feast that awaited. The Zucchini Fry, a delightful surprise, stole the spotlight with its crispy perfection & mouthwatering seasoning. Freshness was the hallmark of Elounda's Oysters, served with a burst of flavors that transported diners to the ocean's edge. The oysters were not only fresh but also a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality seafood. The star of the evening was the Fish Grill-an exquisite dish that encapsulated the essence of Greek seafood cuisine. Grilled to perfection, the fish was both tender & flavorful, offering a symphony of tastes that delighted the palate. The ambiance at Elounda added to the overall experience, with charming decor that reflected the warmth of the Mediterranean. The attentive service staff, clad in outfits reminiscent of the Greek coastal villages, contributed to the authentic atmosphere. While the culinary experience at Elounda was exceptional, it is regrettable that a slight tarnish occurred during the payment process. One service staff member, in a moment of unprofessionalism, pressed for a tip, suggesting a specific percentage. This incident, albeit unpleasant, did not overshadow the overall excellence of the dining experience. In conclusion, Elounda stands out as a must-visit for those seeking an authentic Greek seafood adventure. From the succulent Kalamari to the delightful Zucchini Fry & the exquisite Fish Grill, Elounda delivers a memorable gastronomic journey. Despite the minor hiccup, I highly recommend Elounda for its culinary prowess & inviting ambiance. Please note that individual experiences may vary, & this review reflects a personal perspective on a specific visit.
