Everyone was satisfied with the quality of the food served. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was very settling. That was my second time there & will return again.
Elounda never misses. The owners & staff are genuinely warm & accommodating, creating a great atmosphere every time you walk in. The food is consistently top quality, with generous portions that don't disappoint. I've held several lunch meetings there, & it's always been a top-tier experience-reliable, professional, & enjoyable. Definitely a go-to spot!
This is the best restaurant in Montreal & surrounding area. All the soups are delicious, the grilled calamari is the best I've tasted ever. The grilled lamb is also delicious. They only use olive oil & not cheap seed oils. The homemade sheeps feta cheese in the greek salad is amazing. They also have so many gluten free options- lots of keto & paleo options. They really pay attention to the quality of all the ingredients & dont cut corners, unlike most restaurants nowadays. Service is always the great too.
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!
We had a delicious meal with attentive & excellent service. Highly recommend this restaurant for high quality Greek food in a comfortable & friendly atmosphere.
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.
