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.
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.
Toujours excellent depuis les nombreuses années où j'y vais!! :) Nourriture impeccable, fraîche & authentique. Service hors pair & ambiance conviviale. Mon restaurant préféré de Montréal!!

Paul est un serveur plus que gentil! Très professionnel, il répond à nos questions avec patience & courtoisie. Merci! Nous avons mangé une brochette de poulet & du poulet au féta. Délicieux X 1000!! Miam miam !
J'ai découvert ce resto le 1er juin dernier grâce à un groupe d'amis qui avait réservé l'établissement "after hours" pour notre souper célébration de fin de spectacle. Vous dire combien j'ai apprécié! Tzaziki, calmars frits, salade grecque, bon vin... tout était délicieux & servi par Paul, un serveur gentil, drôle, attentif, charismatique. Ce soir, c'était notre spectacle de Noël & nous y sommes retournés "after hours". Encore une fois, le personnel a été formidable & j'ai à nouveau été servi par Paul qui, avec l'aide de ses quatre ou cinq collègues, s'est assuré que la quarantaine de convives que nous étions étaient bien servis & heureux. Quel resto merveilleux! J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner.

My favorite restaurant since 2008! Food is to die for. Axcel & Félix are the best waiters. Tony, the manager is always super friendly. Authentic Greek food. OPA!!!
The owner kept rushing us to order, he gave the impression that he was in a rush to get rid of us, but the waiter who took our order was absolutely wonderful. The food was also delicious
