First Time her for a birthday celebration & the experience was fantastic…the food was delicious the service was fantastic & can't wait to come back ..highly recommend it..excellent staff…thank you 🙏
This is one of the better restaurants in Old Montreal & the best Greek food I've encountered in the city by far. If you don't know where to go, go here. The food is outstanding (particularly the grilled octopus!!), the attention to detail is on a level I've rarely seen before, the wine selection is excellent, & the service is generous & attentive.
The owner is a chef who's clearly put his heart & soul into every bit of this place. 10/10. I'll be returning again & bringing friends whenever they visit to show them what Montreal has to offer.
Just visited this amazing hidden gem in old port of Montreal, the food is stunning, simple & so delicious, sea bass was the top
Peter has made our experience high quality we've ever received, he is very attentive & kind! If you want to try the best authentic Greek food with the real taste it's the place #1 for this 2026 year
Excellent meal for our first night in Montreal, some of the best Greek food I've had in a while. I particularly recommend the Orexi special, the chips were perfectly cooked & & worked really well with the tzatzikj. The calamari was also top tier, but honestly every dish was very good, & the service was great too.
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 😊
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 !
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 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.

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!
