The food is repeatedly praised for standout items and consistent quality, with portions described as generous and adaptable for groups or dietary needs. The atmosphere and service are commonly highlighted as welcoming and attentive, with strong drink and wine recommendations, though a few comments mention overbooking, longer waits, or music that can be a touch loud.

Overall the consensus points to memorable Greek flavors, refined ambiance, and dependable hospitality, even when some visits vary on value.
The ambience was very relaxing, the pillars & the ceiling were really cool!
The waiters were kind & available, especially the girl that attended us that made some exquisite cocktails!
We cannot recommend it enough!
Vraiment une magnifique expérience! Nous y sommes allés pour mon anniversaire & nous avons eu une expérience incroyable entre le service aux petits soins de notre serveuse, la nourriture délicieuse & la générosité du restaurant à nous offrir un dessert pour fêter ça! Un énorme merci ☺?
We had a great time last Friday.
The menu is short & simple, yet the food is amazing. The cocktails are also delicious.
The staff is attentive, competent & friendly. The overall ambiance is great.
I highly recommend this place & Id give it more stars if I could.
The staff is really nice. The beet salad, the octopus & the loukaniko was really good. Definitely recommend. The calamari was very chewy tho & didn't like it, the sauce was good. Overall a good experience

La nourriture est excellente, pleine de saveurs. Le service est impeccable & l'ambiance chaude & cosy rend l'instant encore plus exceptionnel. Je recommande fortement !
Amazing food, the Pastitsio was out if the world. Highly recommend the lamb chops as well, Saganaki was also delicious.. just the prep time was a little longer but definitely worth the wait 👍
Extremely delicious food & great service! All the dishes we tried were super flavoursome, & the grilled octopus, fish, & grilled pork chops were very tender & juicy. Cosy yet lively atmosphere - would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting vieux montreal!
A little piece of Greece in Montreal. The meal went from good to better to best as we progressed from appetizers to main course to dessert. Atmosphere, hospitality, & food were second to none. Our favorite place so far.
