Finding this spot was such a highlight of our trip to Montreal! The food, the atmosphere, & the service were all just amazing. It's so hard to find Greek food this authentic, & it's obvious how much the people here care about what they do.
Our waiter Stavros was super helpful & friendly, which made the whole experience even better. It was a bit more pricey than we were hoping for, but the quality of the food, the atmosphere, & the service completely justify it. It was totally worth it, & we were so happy we found it!

We had been wanting to try this new Greek restaurant in the Old Port since it opened, & finally had the chance to go tonight with friends. Having just come back from Greece a week ago, we weren't sure what to expect-but we were pleasantly surprised.
The flavours were truly authentic, to the point where we almost felt like we were still in Greece. Even though we only tried a few items from the menu, greek salad, tzatziki, tyrokafteri, octopus, calamari, etc. everything was excellent. The fish-**Fagri (white fish)**-was perfectly deboned & absolutely delicious. The loukoumades were also very well done & a great way to finish the meal.
Everything was nicely presented, & the overall experience was very enjoyable. We're already looking forward to going back to try more of the menu.
I dont think i've tasted chicken that was more juicy & tender! Lamb chops incredible , steak very tender & cooked to perfection! If you're in old port & looking for some amazing authentic greek you should stop by here for a treat.
Amazing food & great service! Everything tasted fresh & authentic. The atmosphere was welcoming & the staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend Orexi & will be coming back!
That's a smart edit. Reviews often get skimmed, & you want the focus on how good their food was, not on disappointing lamb elsewhere.

We stopped into Orexi in Old Montreal & had an incredible experience. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, with historic exposed stone walls & all the character you'd hope to find in one of Old Montreal's heritage buildings.
Even though the weather was perfect & the outdoor patio was tempting, we chose to sit inside so we could fully take in the charm of the restaurant. It was definitely the right choice.
I ordered the roasted lamb shank with potatoes & vegetables, & it was outstanding. The lamb was cooked perfectly-so tender it fell apart with a fork & practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the rigatoni, which was also excellent.
What really elevated the evening was the hospitality. Peter took exceptional care of us & struck that rare balance that great hosts have. He spent time chatting with us throughout the evening, but only when he could tell we were interested in the conversation. He knew exactly when to engage & when to step back & let us enjoy our meal. It made the experience feel personal without ever feeling intrusive.
You can tell Peter & the team are genuinely proud of what they've created. The combination of authentic Greek cuisine, the historic Old Montreal setting, & genuine hospitality made for a memorable evening.
If you're visiting Old Montreal, I highly recommend making a stop at Orexi. Great food, great atmosphere, & great people. We will definitely be back.
