If you are looking for real Greek cuisine in Montreal, this place is not just another restaurant. You can truly feel the spirit of the Aegean, the warmth of a Greek seaside taverna, & the soul of authentic Mediterranean food in every dish. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything is prepared with care, balance, & character. The service is genuine, the atmosphere is beautiful, & the flavors are unforgettable. Honestly, this is not only one of the best Greek restaurants I have tried in Montreal; it may be the best. Places like this are very hard to find.
It was a wonderful experience at Orexi! The staff were extremely accommodating & made us feel at home from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The food was exceptional. The food was exceptional from start to finish. Every dish was bursting with flavour, beautifully presented, & prepared to perfection. The quality, creativity, & consistency throughout the meal made for an unforgettable dining experience that left a lasting impression.
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.

Beautiful restaurant with some of the best Greek food I've ever had. Fantastic service with very attentive staff. Beautiful ambience. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended.
Such a great experience -easily one of the best new Greek Restaurants around. Huge thank you to Panagioti & his amazing smile as well as the amazing staff for their warm hospitality. Compliments to the chef & the kitchen team for absolute perfection.
Our table of four shared the octopus which was tender & perfectly grilled, the steak cooked exactly right, & the fish was fresh & beautifully seasoned. The zucchini chips were dangerously addictive, especially the vodka rigatoni, OH YEAH!
Great food, great vibe. We left already planning our next visit. Top tier Greek dining experience. By the way love the decor!
Like they say in French, A la Prochaine ! OPA !
This hidden gem in Old Montreal is an absolute must-visit.
We started with one of their specialty cocktails-perfectly balanced between sweet & sour (brandy, passion fruit, & ginger beer), & easily one of their standout signature drinks.
The evening began with a couple of sides, including chopped & Greek salads, followed by a perfectly grilled octopus that was a total hit.
For the main course, the Mediterranean sea bass was beautifully flavorful & paired wonderfully with grilled vegetables & lima beans-everything was equally delicious.
We ended the night on a high note with incredible desserts: honey balls drizzled with Nutella, black cherry yogurt, & their famous baklava.
A special thank you to Peter, our waiter, who was extremely attentive & guided us through the menu with excellent recommendations.
Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful experience.
