& encore une belle adresse à Montréal …. On a vraiment adorer cette adresse & nous étions un beau groupe & ils ont réussi à contenter toute notre équipe … merci à vous
Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour célébrer ma fête avec mon copain, & nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le service offert par Xavier était impeccable : attentionné, chaleureux & de très bons conseils. Il nous a fait d'excellentes suggestions de plats à partager, que nous avons vraiment appréciées.
C'était notre première visite au restaurant, mais certainement pas la dernière. Une belle ambiance, un service exceptionnel & une expérience qui donne envie de revenir sans hésiter. Nous recommandons fortement !

Amazing, authentic Greek restaurant! The service, food & drinks were incredible. We had the lamb chops, octopus, & Mediterranean sea bass everything was unreal. Honestly, the food was to die for🤍
Loved our meal here!! When we checked into the Uville Hotel they recommended it & we decided to go & dang that was an amazing meal. We were so glad we took her up on this recommendation. We got two dips (eggplant & tzatziki), two people in my group shared a large meat dish + green beans & I got the fried eggplant dish (incredible & I'm a vegetarian so it was nice they had good options). I also got a Greek salad that we all shared. It's a great menu for sharing. Highly recommend!!
Service horrible, la serveuse nous regardait comme si nous étions des parasites. Elle a finalement été remplacée par un homme plutôt charmant, mais le sentiment désagréable est resté. De plus, la plupart des plats ne valent pas leur prix, c'est de l'arnaque pure & simple.
I was just up in the city over New Years & had such a nice time dining at Taverne. It was a cold night & the atmosphere couldn't have been more warm & inviting. Our server Sofia was amazing, she gave us great tips on the menu & we worked our way through all the courses & selections. Everything was delicious & the beet salad & octopus were best ever conversations for me.

The food was amazing. No words on the flavors on the food. We ordered for the table we where 6 people & everyone where impressed on how good the food was.
A truly upscale Greek gastronomy experience. The food menu is designed with careful consideration for taste & variety. There were a lot of options for me as a vegetarian.
I chose the lentil soup, the insalata dip & the crispy eggplants. All were truly delicious & well portioned.
At the bar, the bartender Felix is exceptional in service & hospitality with great suggestions & perfectly mixed drinks.
I would highly recommend everyone to try this place out
This was one of my favourite Greek restaurants in the Montreal - the old manager Billy was great !! However, we left really disappointed our last time. The portion & quality of their dishes have really decreased. The lamb chops were very small, the saganaki was not properly cooked (tasted purely of ouzo) & the octopus was really disappointing in size. It didn't feel like the same restaurant it was a couple of months ago… I will say - service was great & Charlotte was amazing.

Terrible ! The worst service ever ! I've been to many parts of the world, I've visited hundreds of restaurants, some good, others not so good, & this one is in a class of its own-terribly bad. The service attitude is awful. The food is bad, & the atmosphere is ruined by the terrible & rude service; they have no idea about customer service.
Nice food, friendly staff! It was very busy, our booking couldnt be found & it took a long time for all of the food to come. Overall we still enjoyed it!
Calamari appetizer was good but the octopus was great! The lamb chops were also excellent but pork chop didn't really work for us. Definitely would come back to try other offerings.
Very excellent experience here! Food was seriously amazing, highly recommended the pork chops! They exceeded expectations! Atmosphere was very pleasant, although personally we felt like the music was a little too loud. But Sofia was an amazing server, very friendly, & accommodating! Would definitely come back here again! 🙏❤?
A warm & elegant restaurant, we had lunch here today, the food was authentic & delicious. The beet/pistachio salad was excellent & pretty. We also shared lemon roasted potatoes & one of Máti's special mains, a slow-braise lamb neck that was fork tender & fortifying. We will be back. Highly recommend.
