Food had so much flavor. All the meat was cooked to perfection grilled octopus! AMAZING WOULD COME BACK we had the Greek salad to start, which was very good & then we also had the fried calamari which is also crispy & flavorful with a side of tzatziki dip, which is incredible. Glad the first restaurant was full! The lamb chops were cooked perfection! Finishing her off with a nice espresso very very pleased. I'

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.

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.

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.

Olivier was an incredible server! Enjoyed our conversation throughout the entire meal. Specifically, the octopus & baklava ice cream are to die for. Cocktails good too!

Dining at this Greek restaurant was nothing short of a revelation. From the moment we sat down, we knew we were about to experience something extraordinary, & every course proved us right.

Let's start with the cocktails: their whiskey sour alone could earn this place a cult following. It wasn't just good-it was exceptional. You could actually taste each layer of sourness & balance, perfectly shaken with just the right froth, smooth but with enough kick to remind you why classics never go out of style. If you think you've had a proper whiskey sour before, prepare to have your expectations redefined.

Then came the mezze dips, & what a journey those were. The smoky eggplant was rich & deeply flavored, carrying that rustic earthiness only true slow-roasting can bring. The tzatziki was creamy & refreshing, with just the right lift of garlic & cucumber. Add in the warm, pillowy bread to scoop it all up, & suddenly it's impossible to stop. Every dip was crafted not just as a side dish, but as a statement-balanced, fresh, & brimming with authenticity.

The salads pushed creativity even further. The standout was undoubtedly the watermelon salad-an absolutely brilliant creation. Juicy, vibrant cubes of watermelon laid over a cloud of tangy yogurt, dusted with finely crushed pistachios. The interplay of sweetness, creaminess, crunch, & freshness was nothing short of magical. A dish that looks simple but carries the soul of a chef who knows exactly how to balance contrast & harmony on a plate.

& then-the star of the night-the octopus. I cannot stress enough how life-changing this was. Easily the best octopus I have ever had, anywhere in the world. Perfectly grilled, smoky, yet tender to the bite, paired with capers, slivers of red onion, & a vibrant sauce that tied everything together. This dish was not just well-cooked; it was Michelin-star level artistry. A single bite was enough to make me pause & appreciate the kind of mastery that goes into creating it.

Every dish that came out of the kitchen had a story, & that story was one of passion, skill, & vision. & the mastermind behind it all is Chef Arash. You can taste his genius in the menu-how everything is thoughtfully planned, how flavors aren't just combined but orchestrated. He's not just a chef, he's a true culinary architect, weaving tradition with innovation. It's rare to encounter someone who can elevate classic Greek flavors to this level, but Arash has done it, & done it with elegance.

This isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination for anyone who loves food. A place where every sip, every bite, every dish makes you stop & say, this is special.

Truly, one of the best dining experiences I've had in years. If there were more than five stars, this restaurant & its team would deserve them all.

The food was decent but some of the dishes were over priced. The Greek salad for example was really over priced. Very small portion & nothing special about it. The octopus on the other hand was perfectly cooked & tasted amazing. We also had the Cornish Hen, highly recommended. Very juicy & perfectly seasoned.

Came during my trip to Montreal. The atmosphere & deco were nice. However they seemed to be short handed at the restaurant, everything took a long time. The waiter spilled a pool of water on the table while filling my glass & did not bother to wipe it off.

I ordered grilled octopus, calamari & pork chop. The octopus is nothing like the picture online. Only one tentacle in this $29 dish & it was rubbery & bland, not fresh at all. Pork chop & calamari were just ok. Overall food portion was very small & price was high for the quality of the food.

The lamb chops & octopus were perfect but the sea bass was overcooked. The fish is definitely not worth the price & discounted our dining experience.

We have traveled all over the world to many Michelin star restaurants & I must say as a Greek, this is the best Greek food I have ever had. It is a crime this restaurant does not have a Michelin Star. The food was incredible the octopus & the lamb melted away & the dips were even incredible. The service & owner were incredibly friendly, helpful & attentive. Even their music selection was amazing. The atmosphere, service, & food were on another level. 5 stars doesn't do it justice. Highly recommend if you want an unforgettable meal.

Wonderful spot, great food, the octopus was tender & cooked perfectly. The formula has several plates to share. Everything we tried was great. Attentive service. The restaurant itself has a minimal vibe. Would easily return.
