From the very first bite of tender, flame?kissed souvlaki at Souvlaki Authentique, I recognized a culinary experience that transcends casual dining. The meat-whether chicken or pork-is expertly marinated & grilled, striking the perfect balance between authenticity & succulence. Each skewer delivers a satisfying char without crossing into dryness, capturing the essence of traditional Greek street food

What elevates the dish further are the famous Greek potatoes. Large wedges are cooked to golden perfection & dressed in a creamy, lemon?garlic sauce that harmonizes richness with citrus brightness. I found that these potatoes serve not merely as a side dish, but as an integral component of the meal-so memorable that diners often recount returning just to savor them again
A complementary highlight is their tzatziki-velvety yogurt infused with cucumber, garlic, & a subtle lemon finish. It adds refreshing lift to both souvlaki & potatoes, grounding the meal in Mediterranean tradition. The consistent freshness of this dip impressed me: it never fails to enhance the culinary tapestry of the plate .
In terms of presentation & portioning, I observed remarkable generosity. Plates arrive abundant-so generous that a single serving easily provided leftovers for the following days. This abundance, paired with fair pricing, makes dining here both satisfying & economical.

Beyond the food itself, the warmth of the service & atmosphere reinforces the overall impact. I experienced genuine hospitality from staff who radiate friendliness & pride in their cuisine. The spaces-cozy yet meticulously maintained-cultivated a welcoming setting that felt authentically.
While minor inconsistencies have been noted-some servings arriving slightly overcooked or with firmer potatoes-my experiences were overwhelmingly positive. Each visit revealed a dependable standard of quality & flavor that left me both comforted & inspired .

My most memorable meal unfolded as follows: I began with a crisp salad, drizzled in their distinctive creamy dressing. Next came the souvlaki skewers-moist, seasoned, & grilled with pride-accompanied by generous Greek potato wedges & a bowl of tzatziki. The aroma of charcoal blended with garlic & lemon, conjuring memories of sunlit Greek taverns. I wrapped meat & sauce in warm pita, paired it with a crisp bite of potato, & savored how each element enhanced the next. The consistency of flavors, orchestrated by The fresh, bright finishes, delighted my palate. I departed with leftovers & a profound sense of satisfaction, certain I would return soon for another immersive experience.

In my view, Souvlaki Authentique provides more than just a meal-it offers an exploration of Greek culinary tradition through attentive preparation, vibrant flavors, & inviting presentation. For anyone seeking the finest, most authentically prepared souvlaki & Greek fare in Montreal, this establishment stands as a foremost destination.View more

Service is so nice by Emily. I tried out both the Pita Souvlaki Gyro & Pita Souvlaki Porc. First hand the Gyro was a beatiful delight with a healthy portion of gyro, tzatziki, red onions & tomato. The gyro was tender & crispy & packed with flavor - a real good ensemble. The pita as well was warm, soft, & a tad toasted on the grill. The gyro is definitely my favorite. On the porc end, it too was flavorful but I hit a two porc peices that were just too tough to chew & digest - I felt like I hit an elastic band, but that's life with porc souvlaki bits as you get niece peices & then one peice disrupts the joy. Overall, the flavor spectrum hit the inner happy button. The restaurant was super clean, with no lineups, & Emily at the counter was friendly & helpful. Good work, & you'll be satisfied if you eat on the spot while your foody goods are smacking fresh. Apparently, it was suggested that the Gyro Plate is a real winner with their salad. I'll try that on the next visit.View more

This place is great. Properly prepared meats with actual char & flavor, not processed-bologna-mystery-meat you find elsewhere. I eat here all the time & it's consistently good, fresh & generous portions.View more
