Ouzeri

5.0

Our takeout from Ouzeri, nestled on Saint Denis Street in Montreal, was a flavorful success. Known for its authentic Greek vibe, this place feels like a slice of the Mediterranean in the heart of the city. We kicked things off with a trio of appetizers-standout shoutout to the eggplant dish, which was a hit. The lamb chops? A universal favorite in our group. Even the kids got in on the fun, loving the side order of rice, while the garden salad brought a refreshing finish. Despite the dinner rush (it's definitely a busy spot for dine-in), the takeout process was smooth, & the food arrived fresh & full of flavor. It's clear why this spot has a reputation for both its casual, lively vibe & quality eats. 5/5-this place is firmly on our revisit list.View more

Unbelievable!! Food was fantastic but our server really made the night! Shoutout to Maya! We got the lamb chops, spanakopita, potatoes, & espresso martinis (which were surprisingly amazing). The vibe upstairs was great, would recommend it more than downstairs!View more

We were for looking to have dinner outside & it was nearing dinner time so we decided to call & see if it was necessary to make a reservation. The gentleman on the phone highly recommended making the reservation & so we had our table set aside for us. Upon arrival, there may be two tables out of the entire restaurant that we're occupied. so we thought maybe it was a false encouragement to make the reservation. However as we made our way throughout the meal, no more than 30 to 40 minutes later as we turned around the whole entire restaurant was filled. There wasn't a single table available & this was roughly 6 o'clock on a Saturday night. That being said, keep that in mind if you choose to visit this restaurant for dinner. It was explained to us that the dishes are served in the type of tapas fashion. Meaning, some of the dishes did not necessarily come with sides so you needed to order rice or whatever else you wanted. Some of the portions were also on the small side so they encouraged us to order a variety of plates. That way we could all share. In the end we have the Saganaki flambé cheese to share, Another order of bread & spread, a spaghetti dish, moussaka, feta lamb, & shrimp dish. There was more than enough food for the four of us, & we managed to take some of it home. The staff was very attention, it & quick . we enjoyed the vibe inside the restaurant & did delicious food. We managed to walk to the restaurant. However, if you're coming by Car, you will have to find parking on the street & depending on the time of day & the day of the week you might need to pay for street parking.View more

Been here 3 times now, & would highly recommend it. Delicious & fresh food - feta lamb, grilled calamari & the orange salad are just a few of the dishes I would suggest. Reasonably priced. The drawback is the below average service, with slow & rude waitresses.View more

Delicious food & great service.
We started with the 3 choices of mezzés which were all very good, perfect to open the appetite.
As entrées, we tried the Beef Martini & the Spicy Feta Lamb. The taste was delicious & the meats were cooked to perfection.
The server recommended a nice bottle of wine, all of they're bottles were quite reasonably priced.
We finished with the baklava, which was heaven for honey enthusiasts such as myself.

We learned that the restaurant has been opened for about 30 years, making a Montreal staple. Don't sleep on this gem! I truly recommend 😊View more

Over the last few yrs, I've been to Ouzeri on special occasions. It is quieter during the week, which I appreciate in order to have conversation.
The food is extraordinary. The Calamari & lamb are succulent. I highly recommend this place. Make sure you go when it is less crowded, unless you don't mind a noisy atmosphere.

Let me begin by saying that I specifically created an account here so I could review this restaurant - Ouzeri has been one of my worst dining experiences to date, & I go out quite a bit for dinner parties or just on the context of trying something new. I had ordered the lamb moussaka, yet the waiter heard something else & brought me the wrong dish. I simply pointed out that it wasn't what I had ordered & may I say,the waiter's anger went from 0 to 100 within a matter of seconds! The woman yelled at me in front of the dinner group (mostly acquaintances I didn't know too well might I point out, so this alone is embarrassing beyond words), took away my plate & stormed off.

As a reader you might be tempted to think that I said something offensive or that I might have had an attitude which provoked the waiter. I can assure you this wasn't the case as there were enough witnesses around me wondering why she flipped her lid, to put it mildly.

When I did get my food, the moussaka was alright; a little too heavy on the eggplant if there's such a thing, but I'll be honest, I hardly tasted it after the confrontation. I just ate for the saké of eating what I was going to be paying for.

Long story short, I was made out to be the demon customer, neither she nor the manager apologized (in fact, she was giving me stink eye while I was eating) & she fully expected me to tip her at the end of the night.

I didn't enjoy my experience. That'll be the first & last.
