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!
My husband & I were craving Greek food during our stay in Montreal & found this spot near our hotel.
If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would! The food was absolutely delicious-we got fried zucchini & eggplant as our starter, lamb chops & lamb shank for the main, & the beignets for dessert.
The service was impeccable & the waiters were so accommodating of my dietary restrictions once I let them know I'm pregnant.
We hope to come back the next time we are in Montreal!

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.
Visited Orexi in early Feb 2026 after hearing it was listed as one of the best new restaurants of 2026. Food was quite delicious! We started with grilled octopus, moussaka croquettes, & the orexi special (fried zucchini & eggplant). The croquettes were especially good & a very cool interpretation of the classic greek dish. As a main, we shared oysters, a grilled med sea bass, tiger shrimps, lamb chops, & a greek salad; all of which were cooked to perfection & very tasty! Baklava for dessert was a little soggy but still delicious, loukoumades were also great. I would have given a 5-star review but I found that the service was just a bit slow, we were 6 people & dinner lasted almost 4 hours, which felt a little drawn out.
Lovely ambience with Greek music in the background. Professional, attentive server named Kosta who offered great suggestions. Food was sinfully delicious! The octopus is a must along with the zucchini & eggplant chips! The grilled chicken was moist & cooked to perfection! The lamb shank was tender & tasteful….& finally the loukoumades which was the perfect dessert for a wonderful evening at Orexi restaurant! Will definitely be back 😊
C'est le meilleur restaurant que nous avons fait à Montréal, parmi plus d'une vingtaine. La nourriture est exquise & unique. Les cocktails sont exceptionnels. Charlotte est de bon conseil, c'est très agréable de marier les plats & boissons comme la vraie tradition. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & nous avons passé un super moment.

This was our second visit.
The experience at this restaurant was, again, delightful, from start to finish. The food was exceptional…, again. Denis has always been an ace. The staff awesome, & the ambiance was perfect. The ideal establishment for a cozy soirée.
Highly recommended!
