Chef Petro, inspired by his mother Anna’s deep love for cooking Greek dishes and her fascination with Ancient Greek mythology, decided to honor her in a unique way. His mother had instilled in him a profound appreciation for both traditional Greek cuisine and the enchanting tales of the gods.In tribute to her influence and her admiration for Hermes, the messenger of the gods, Petro named his new restaurant “Hermès.” The establishment combines the rich flavors of Greek culinary heritage with a touch of mythological charm, creating a dining experience that celebrates both his grandmother’s legacy and the timeless allure of Greek mythology.
Many reviews highlight Hermes Cuisine Grecque for authentic Greek flavors, generous portions, and warm, attentive service in a cozy setting, with fresh, home-style dishes like moussaka, gyros, and meat platters that diners say are wonderfully flavorful and well priced for the quality. The experience is often described as a hidden gem on the North Shore, felt in the welcoming atmosphere and a sense of family from the staff. While a few notes mention occasional slow phone service or long waits during busy times, most reviews celebrate quick, attentive service, generous portions, and pleasant extras such as complimentary dishes or ouzo at the end. Takeout and dine-in both receive praise and many reviewers indicate they will return to explore more of the menu.
So I have to say, I really enjoyed the food at this place. Authentic greek cuisine served in amplele quantities. Remind me of the food, my mother & grandmother used to make. The decor inside is of ancient greece.Reminiscent of the parthenon. Unfortunately, I was not able to take pictures as my hands were frozen
The restaurant itself was freezing cold to where we asked the weight staff to please turn on some heating. Switch, they did have portable heaters, which, to me says they were aware that the restaurant is cold & uncomfortable. There is a moderate amount of parking on the outside & it is easily accessible
Absolutely delicious food. Was extremely full, which was a good sign. Managed to find us a table quickly. Food arrived in under 15 mins (full 2 course meal for 3) great atmosphere with the decorations, amazing service & staff, & some of the best Greek food I've had by a long shot
The best Greek food I've tried hands down, I've been to Greece & nothing beats this place. Not only was the food amazing but the service was impeccable. Although we didn't have a reservation for a Saturday night they accommodated us & gave us complimentary food for the short wait. They were very attentive to our needs & made sure our water was always full. They even gave out ouzo shots to end the night. My parents & I are always well taken care of when we eat here, I have nothing but good things to say & we will continue to come back
I went last night for the first time, & from the moment I walked in , it transported me straight back to my childhood in Greece. The flavours are so authentic, so deeply familiar, that I had one of those rare moments where you take a bite, stop, & think: this tastes like home. The food was absolutely declisious !!!!
The quality is exceptional. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned dishes, & that unmistakable Greek warmth in every flavour. Everything tasted intentional, nothing rushed, nothing generic. It's the kind of food that tells a story, & Hermès tells it beautifully.
& the service? Outstanding. Warm, attentive, & genuinely proud of what they bring to the table. They welcome you like family, not customers, which is rarer than it should be.
I felt reconnected with tradition, with nostalgia, with everything we grew up loving about Greek food.
Just had dinner & If we could leave more starts we would , authentic, friendly , fresh from starter to desserts. This Greek restaurant is the real deal.. can't believe we were looking for similar spot all these years !!
Excellent greek food! Highly recommended. Will definitely be back as there is so much more I want to try. Best Greek restaurant I've been to in Montreal by far!
Took a chance on this new discovery & we were all pleased. From the food to the service, everything was outstanding!! Delicious authentic Greek food. Try it & you won't be disappointed.

Amazingly delicious food. The service is extremely nice, friendly, helpful, & attentive. & the atmosphere is super comfy & cozy. Ever since type of meat I got to enjoy was absolute perfection. This is my new favourite Greek restaurant.
Went because a friend recommended it to us. It was everything they hyped it up to be & more. Warm welcome from the staff, delicious & flavorful food, definitely became our new go to for greek flavors! I hope this restaurant gets all the success it deserves.
Super cute Greek restaurant with ample space, extremely friendly & efficient service, & of course quality, greek dishes. We felt there was a lot of care in the food, & our waiter was great. They also have a fully sectioned room that we think can probably be booked for private events. Super clean & modern.
