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.
Food is good but portions are a little bit ridiculous for the price. Ordered two avgolemono soups which cost $30. The two soups combined didn't fill on standard size soup bowl. Have ordered before & experienced small portions but nothing like this. Shrinkflation clearly happening here.
Was on holidays in beautiful Montreal last month. This restaurant was around the corner from my apartment. Enjoyed a delicious dinner one evening & the team were super friendly. Called in another evening & asked if I may have just a nightcap, no problem & another great welcome!!
Unbelievable!! Food was fantastic but our server really made the night! Shoutout to Maya! We got the lamb chops, spanakopita, potatoes, & espresso martinis (which were surprisingly amazing). The vibe upstairs was great, would recommend it more than downstairs!
Cuisine extrêmement salée, tout comme l'addition : 14$ un fond de verre de whisky !!!! Assiettes peu garnies, je reviens de Grèce, rien à voir. Un conseil : passer votre chemin
Don't get me wrong - the food was great tasting. However, what we got was like getting an appetizer. Especially when you see the prices. We had grilled vegetables & salmon, it did not come with sides. If we hadn't ordered a soup & pita bread before the main meal, we had left hungry. In total, we paid $67, which is no small price even when you account for our appetizers. In addition, the salmon was raw inside & they had to recook it.
Exceptional & creative menu that takes Greek classics you can't find anywhere else & elevates them to a new level. Service is outstanding & the dishes are absolute standouts. An exceptional spot. Must try. Cute bistro-like decor with a bit of whimsy.
Absolutely fantastic! All you have to know is they do grilled octopus perfectly. If they can pull that off so well, you know everything else is simply excellent.
Toujours un beau service, une belle ambiance, & la cuisine !! Top. C'est un beau restaurant agréable, on y mange très bien, le vin est bon, le staff est au top vous serez toujours bien reçu dans ce restaurant c'est un must. J'y vais depuis plus de 10 ans, c'est une belle sortie en amoureux ou entre amis & en plus ils sont ouverts le lundi soir ce qui est assez cool, peu sont ouverts le lundi.
First visit in years. It's ok, the food is fine, ambience a definite zero, they should try playing some music. Went there on a Friday night, it had a retirement home vibe a bit. Might go back in another 15 years.
Beaucoup beaucoup trop salé malheureusement. Impossible de goûter/apprécier les moules dans un plat & les pétoncles dans l'autre. Trop d'aliments mélangés dans les plats. Bon après 1 ou 2 bouchées, mais pas appréciable par la suite. À trop vouloir mettre de trucs, on gâche le plat. Salade d'artichauds bonne mais bcp trop froide. J'ai fait le commentaire au sympa serveur au sujet du "salé" (par dessus le feta!) qui gachait surtout 1 des 2 assiettes par transparence & pour du feedback constructif, & non pas pour l'enlever de la facture,.. quoi qu'en rétrospect, ça aurait été apprécié. Nous n'y retournerons pas à moins que cela change drastiquement. Merci.
