Delicious phyllo pastries, both savory & sweet. Great dips, salads, & Greek coffee as well. Wonderful ambiance just next to the Rialto Theatre in Mile End

The lady behind the counter was very friendly & helpful. They have a great selection from completely vegetarian to beef & vegetables. The selection is fresh they don't make too many at a time I had the spanikopita & the ricotta phylo which were both excellent. We also had their housemate lemonade which was superb, especially on a hot day. It was tangy & not too sweet. We sat outside watching the world go by along Ave. Parc but they also have some indoor seating. They also have desserts which we did not have but we will definitely be back to try them.

So I was a little hungry & wanted a quick & easy bite to eat without it being too unhealthy. This place seemed to be reasonably healthy (or not too unhealthy would be acceptable too) with the tiropita & spanakopita options.
So it's small, it's a little cute, & vary like end in its look & feel.
This is not a place one goes for a hangout to me, it's small limited indoor seating & a little larger outdoor terrace is nice but really does not do it.
Service is nice but nothing overly warm or friendly. I went into the restaurant twice & the first time no one acknowledged me. The second time I was actually greeted & served.

The food is average to below average.
They have cookies, baklava, & other sweets & then they offer (on a warming griddle) tiropita & spanakopita. Their price seemed reasonable given the portion size, however once you bite into the spanakopita (which I ordered) its doughy feel & chewy texture was a lacking the traditional crisp & flaky light philo dough. It was too late as I would have sent it back due to this but I was very hungry & didn't want to start a fuss. As I bit into & chewed the spanakopita the seasoning was actually nice, but there was insufficient cheese in the filling & there was not enough filling.
Growing up in a Greek community & having numerous Greek friends with Yayas who cook amazing Greek food I felt the food I ate was a travesty to Greek cuisine & at the price I believe it to be a waste of money. Perhaps a person who lacks knowledge about Greek food may enjoy it more, not me that's for sure.
So they also offer hot beverages & I didn't try them however, if I was forced to come back again I would probably try their coffee & maybe risk a sweet. They only sweet I would not try is their baklava as it was a small little square portion that was presented in a manner that was not appetizing to me - which is sad as I love baklava.

So no I would not return not recommend parroting this place as there are many other options in the area.

Warm service with kind smiles always, flaky delicious pastries savoury & sweet, delicious frappés for your café fix & so many little sweet treats. A must stop on the corner of Parc & Bernard in the Mile-End - around for 12 years! Family, friends, solo, a perfect spot for a hearty meal & open later than most - 7 pm on weekdays & affordable. Their spanakopita is superior!
