A wonderful experience! Food was delicious with generous portions! Service was on point! Staff was very friendly. We had the pleasure of being served by Maria, who added to our lovely evening.
The decor & ambiance were great, with Greek music playing & beautiful wall pictures of scenes from Greek islands. Good food & great ambiance, truly worth it!
We arrived without reservations & Maria told us not to worry even though they were very busy. She sat us down & came back apologizing she took so long to come see us even though they were very busy & we didn't even wait that long! We ordered calamari, souvlaki poutine, & souvlaki pita's & the family ate up as much as we could but the portions were so generous that we needed to take some home. Maria checked up on us numerous times, was very personable & very attentive. This isn't what service should be, this is what service used to be like & it was wonderful to have Maria make sure we enjoyed a wonderful family dinner before heading out to our show. I was left in awe at the amazing meal & fantastic service this place provided us. The other restaurants who claim to be fine dining in West Island & Vaudreuil could learn a thing or two on how to run a restaurant business from this place. Thank you & we will definitely be back!
Their food is always fresh, delicious & they serve generous portions. I have never been disappointed eating here! Staff is always friendly & professional. Highly recommend this restaurant! I used to be a big fan of Marathons, but this place is 100× better!
The food is always out of this world, bursting with flavour & generous portions.
The atmosphere is warm & instantly makes you forget the frosty Canadian weather, transporting you to a turquoise clear Greek seaside.
Most importantly the service is genuine & heartfelt. I quietly listened in as the staff offered to help & accommodate a patron with no hesitation.
They'll take great care of you!
?I had heard good things about this place, but we never seemed to actually make it in. We'd tried to go a couple of times in the past, but it was always too busy. (Victims of their success I suppose 🙂) We finally made it inside, & what a fantastic place this was. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how clean the restaurant was & how incredibly friendly the service was. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing. The quality was top-notch, & the portion sizes were very generous for the price. This is now our new go-to spot for authentic souvlaki.

Great place! Menu has nice additions, tried the greek meatballs as appetizer 👍 my husband loved the spanakopita. The lamb chops were sublime & the baklava to end the meal generous & always delicious!😋
Paul made us feel welcomed as always.
Best Greek food ever! Generous portions too. We're driving from Toronto to Charlevoix & planned in advance which restaurants to stop at along the way. We chose Souvlaki Authentic based on the positive reviews, & it far exceeded our expectations.
Excellent food! Fantastic service, ppl are so welcoming & generous! The restaurant is so beautifully decorated..even the bathrooms! so nice & clean. I truly recommend this place to anyone!

Food is always served hot & fresh. Service is excellent & the food is always delicious. No it's not a high-end fancy restaurant, but the food is well beyond what you would expect in a sit-down / fast food environment. I've eaten in restaurants three times the price for this type of food, & they have nothing over this. Portions are very generous... The food is always very tasty, & the price is beyond reasonable. I ate there a week ago with my wife, & I think the total bill was under $50 for two people & we ended up taking half the food home because there was so much food on the plate. I've been eating here for years since it opened, & it's consistently good. Nothing bad to say about the place, only good things. In today's economic climate, this is somewhere you can appreciate, in terms of bang for your buck. They have a very extensive menu with a lot of different options to serve pretty much anyone's taste. Bottom line, we love the place!

Everything about this place is just amazing. Food is beyond delicious & always fresh. Not one thing on the menu is bad. Portions as always are very generous. Service, no matter how busy, & they always are, is impeccable. Great for groups, families, or even by yourself if you just want a quick gyro & a delicious greek beer. Decent bar selection. Very affordable for great food. Owner always present & super helpful.
Just got back from yet another fabulous Greek meal. Not only is the food really delicious & in generous quantities, the owners Paul & Maria are a light in our community, so kind, giving & supportive. I take exception to the one star review from Adamo who was deeply unhappy with the number of olives in his salad & the missing dressing. All of us are human, mistakes happen & I would have hoped that Adamo would have asked to speak with the owner before posting such a nasty post. Perhaps you had a very bad day/week Adamo, but to me this is no excuse for trashing a business like that. Hope you make that call to Paul...
