Ouzeri offers a refined dining experience with traditional Greek meals designed to please the palate. These delicious meals offer something for the discerning diner, preparing meals like octopus, calamari and shrimps served in wine or ouzo. The refined Mediterranean specialties are not limited to seafood, however, and chicken and lamb are house favourites.
Ouzeri is noted for a long-standing Greek and Mediterranean menu with many diners praising tasty, well-prepared dishes, fresh ingredients, and friendly, efficient service at times, along with reasonable prices that invite returns. Yet some visits were marked by slow, distracted service and a sense that the dining experience has shifted after a recent ownership change, with the vibe feeling more expeditious and less intimate and some dishes appearing less well presented. Favorite items are highlighted as grilled calamari and other seafood, brochettes, and saganaki, while some dishes were described as bland or lacking flavor or the overall menu as variable. The atmosphere is often described as convivial and welcoming, with a tapas style breadth and a bilingual menu, though on other nights the mood can feel rushed or less attentive from staff. Overall, Ouzeri remains a well-regarded spot for Greek fare with many praising its quality and value over the years, but there is evident variability in service and preparation that leaves guests hoping the restaurant preserves its warmth and authenticity while sharpening consistency.
Absolutely amazing Greek place in the plateau! La bouffe était magnifique & notre serveur, exceptionnel!! I would highly recommend this place for a date, family supper or a catch up with a friend. Very good atmosphere & the staff were excellent. Un des meilleur resto grecques à Montréal.
Staff was very nice at the beginning but unfortunately never came back to our table & until we ask for the bill without offering anything else. Main course was simple . Salmon was only ok & grilled squids just fine, not well presented.

We were a big crowd on a Saturday night. The food was soso nothing special. The waiters were kind of rude also. When being served plates to eat a cake that we brought for a birthday the waiters forgot to bring ustensils to the table. When I ask him politely after waiting five minutes' could you bring ustensils please' the waiter replied we are busy…. We later order coffee to go with the cake & even tho they took our order they totally forgot just to come back 30 min later & ask if anyone wanted to order coffee!!!! The food is ordinary no flavor & basic. Never again for me
C'est toujours un plaisir de revenir à Ouzeri, un véritable coup de coeur. Chaque fois, je suis accueilli dans une ambiance conviviale & chaleureuse, parfaite pour se détendre. La dernière fois, j'ai commencé avec un délicieux fromage halloumi en entrée, qui était tout simplement parfait : bien grillé, savoureux & accompagné d'un verre de vin qui complétait à merveille le plat.
L'atmosphère est vraiment sympathique, avec un service attentif & amical. Ouzeri sait créer un cadre qui met tout de suite à l'aise, idéal pour une sortie entre amis ou un dîner en couple.
Chaque visite est une expérience culinaire agréable & je suis toujours ravi de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs. Si vous cherchez un endroit pour passer un bon moment avec de bons plats & un service impeccable, Ouzeri est une adresse à ne pas manquer !

Beautiful restaurant, tasty food. Thanks to our waiter Axel for complimentary digestive at the end of the night. We will be back for sure! The fried calamari & grilled octopus was great
Petits plats style'tapas' grec. Certains plats sont goûteux, généreux, savoureux surtout pour les plats principaux. Cartes avec plusieurs choix. Le pikilia semble intéressant par le descriptif mais il est petit pour le prix. Par contre, les prix sont non-négligeable. 400$ pour 4 personnes. Contente de l'avoir testé mais le prix nous a un peu surprise.
C'est génial cet endroit! Produits bien choisis, une grande attention aux détails, je vous conseille de prendre plusieurs plats & de les partager. Le service est incroyable & très pro!!!

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.
Excellent restaurant grec. Plats typiques conçus de façon originale. Qualité du service exemplaire & attentionnée. D'année en année, Ouzeri constitue une valeur sûre.
Restaurant grec authentique & absolument délicieux!! La pieuvre & le boeuf martini sont phénoménals, aussi tendre que savoureux. Prix très raisonnable. Service impeccable par notre charmant serveur Axel. On y retournera :)
