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.
Hermes Cuisine Grecque is described as a welcoming, authentic Greek dining experience with warm, attentive service and generous portions that make it feel like a family kitchen. The ambiance is often charming and cozy, with a simple yet elegant decor that reviewers say evokes a Greek village and a riverside setting in a comfortable space. The food receives high praise for authenticity, fresh ingredients, and bold flavors, with standout dishes such as moussaka, gyros and souvlaki delivering hearty portions and good value. A few notes mention meals that felt too fatty or a dish not perfectly balanced, and isolated incidents like temperature issues with takeout, but these are outliers in an overall glowing impression. Overall, Hermes Cuisine Grecque is regarded as a hidden gem on the North Shore, consistently praised for delicious, homemade style Greek cuisine, reliable service, and a dining experience that many would gladly return to again and again.

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!
Nous avons choisi de la moussaka à emporter. Le service était très agréable & notre plat servi de manière généreuse. C'était un délice qui nous transporte directement en Grèce!
