I was not keen on ever leaving a review. Anywhere. But tonight is an exception. My wife & I & our two children were strolling through the old port of montreal on holiday & wanted to have greek. Coming from the U.K, greek food, unless in greece is a hit or miss for us. Not tonight. We were welcomed by a cordial, warm staff. Our server, Steve, went above & beyond. We told him that we were in a rush & he got the message. He recommended this wonderful greek fish & the lamb chops & seeing I'm not a wine person, he paired it perfectly with a beer called mylos. The service & food recommended were perfect. I will make it a point to visit again once were back. & we will be back. As Steve said. Kali Orexi.
Excellent restaurant grec ! Les plats sont savoureux, préparés avec des produits frais & authentiques. Les grillades étaient parfaitement cuites & le tzatziki était délicieux. L'accueil est chaleureux, le personnel est attentionné & l'ambiance rappelle vraiment la Grèce. Les portions sont généreuses & le rapport qualité-prix est très bon. Une excellente adresse pour passer un agréable moment en famille ou entre amis. Je recommande vivement & j'y retournerai avec plaisir !

Ambiance was great, Server was excellent, but on a $400 bill, the 2 main dishes & the 2 most expensive items were not good, fish was advertised as boneless but contained quite a few bones even though it was plated for us. Shrimp was way overcooked & very chewy, very disappointed for those 2 main pricy items.
Hope it was a one off, out of town guest so chance of returning to verify is very unlikely.
The grilled octopus is to die for, the flavour & the way it was cooked was to perfection. The lamb was also amazing. Drinks were on point too! Will definitely be back :)
Attentive service, a great ambience, & amazing Greek dishes characterize this restaurant, which proves the perfect place for an intimate get together, a night out, or a business dinner.
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.
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.
Outstanding experience! Grilled calamari & lamb chops were perfect, tender & flavorful. Portions were generous & service excellent. Restaurant is located on a quiet street & has outdoor seating. Highly recommended!
