This restaurant doesn't get talked about enough!!! The freshness of the food, the portions & the service!! Big shout out to Catherine (hope I spelled this right) she has been our hostess every time we go. So kind, attentive & a pleasure to converse with when she has the chance, you eat like royalty here & they treat you as such! I can't say enough, just go & if you get Catherine as your hostess, tell her you want to try a little bit of everything, the choices are endless & simply amazing. Se you guys soon!
I can't say enough good things about this place. It was incredible to discover such an authentic Greek experience right here in Montreal. The lamb chops were tender & bursting with flavor, & the jumbo shrimp were exceptionally fresh, delicious, & juicy. The owners, a friendly couple, made it a point to greet all the guests, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. They also had a great selection of wines. If you're a fan of white wine, I highly recommend the one I tried. It complemented the meal perfectly.
Everything was fresh & amazing. Service was stellar. Highly recommend. We got lamb chops, octopus, lobster, calamari, Greek salad, wine etc. Kids & the like ate like there was no tomorrow.

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.
Wonderful date night outing with my wife, who was craving seafood. We had the grilled octopus & the Mediterranean red snapper, which were super fresh & perfectly grilled. Service was friendly & efficient. Will definitely return.
This was an amazing find! We were just looking for simple Greek place & were impressed! They had an amazing array of off the market fish, fresh lobster (live) etc. All very authentic from the salads, apps & mains.
I would go for the whole fish as it is fresh & cooked to perfection. YUMM
