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.

Best food in Montreal, you wont find anything tastier in town. The beef in the brochettes plate is the most tender, flavorful cut you can find. The pita gratiné is a great appetizer. Best baklava dessert I've had.
Make sure you make a reservation though.
