Souvlaki Vieux Grec has been serving the neighborhood for 25 years. After so many years, we can proudly say that we have mastered the art of Greek cuisine like no others. We prepare authentic dishes with the freshest ingredients. Our busy kitchen and loyal customers are a testament that Souvlaki Vieux Grec is the place to go if you crave a souvlaki, gyro or even a steak! It is well worth the wait. Come taste for yourself...you will truly be satisfied because we are simply the best!
Souvlaki Vieux Grec is described as a beloved and authentic Greek spot with friendly service and a cozy, family friendly vibe, offering favorites like gyro pita, souvlaki, fresh salads, and calamari, along with a lunch special and a popular BYOB option that makes it a good value, while many praise the consistently fresh flavors, warm hospitality, and the sense of being a true Greek dining experience, sometimes compared to meals in Athens or Crete; the space is noted as small and sometimes chilly near the windows, with some mentions of long pickup lines, parking during rush hours, and the occasional order mix up or portion variation, yet overall guests leave satisfied and likely to return.
A true gem in Laval! I was recommended by a friend to come here, & I must say I was not disappointed at all! Service is great & they have a lunch special, which is great & it's very delicious & fresh! Will definitely come here again when I visit
Food portions greatly reduced from the last time we were there. The gyro pita plate lacked the lettuce & consisted mainly of 4 slices of cucumber & 2 tomatoes; a handful of fries & a spoonful of rice (not very fresh) completed the large white plate that looked starkly empty compared to previous visits. The gyro pita was good, with just a little bit less meat than usual. Taste of gyro was spot on & thankfully that had not changed.

Good. Gyro is very tasty & fresh. A bit too much salt for my liking. Greek salad is ok. Not a fan of red onions. Give me classic yellow (white) onions like most do in authentic Greek eateries. Service is friendly. Parking situation can be tempestuous during rush hour traffic.
Food is oustanding & very fresh. first time here & it has become my go to greek!
anything gyros or plate is good & must try the side of calmari..wow!
Tasso, you're the man!
Niko is the best. I am sure that he serves everybody perfectly. But in my experience, what is different, unusual about him, is that he knows how to'read' the customer. What kind of a person the customer is, in what mood he is, & how to handle him, accordingly. Not taking advantage of him, no, not at all. Just, to serve him the way he will appreciate.
It is a skill.
I think that I also met, surreptitiously, with someone who seemed to be the owner of the place. If that is so, he was a very nice person.
As for the'little sister' of Niko (that's how he presented her to me, at the Cash), she is so good at such a crucial job, that she is destined to run this place at much higher administrative levels. Officially & in all regards, not just in special matters.
The food was fantastic. We savored numerous items on the menu, entrées & main dishes, & they were all very, very good. Fresh, authentic, well prepared & cooked. The real thing. (& I have been in restaurants in Athens & Crete… cf.my reviews about them, in this Google-reviews system…
)
This was Athens or Crete, in Montreal. As far as that is possible.
Then again, I have not been to Sparta yet...
The prices are quite decent, in these crazy time when it has become normal to order some pasta plate at 40$ !!
& you bring your own wine (minimum 100$ dollars saved, on your bill…)
The place is beautiful. Well situated, nicely designed, warm & cozy.
No parking problems. A nice terrace, if you prefer to have a drink &/or a drink &/or eat outside, under the porch (in late Spring, Summer or early Autumn... this is Canada !)
The best place in town to have a wonderful family gathering. (Or for any other occasion also, of course, I am sure. But my review is about the moments that I enjoyed in this excellent restaurant. & I always try to talk only about what I know, personally & directly, assuredly).
Niko will know who I am. & we shall meet again, for sure, shortly.
We went for a family dinner for fathers day.. The food was fresh & tasty. What impressed us the most is the fast, efficient & great service of our waitress Stephanie.. She was very kind & responded very promptly to all our demands & needs. Stephanie is an asset to any restaurant that is looking to give his guests great service.. Thank you.

Fantastic Greek restaurant. It is small & quaint, & the food is delicious. The portions are extremely generous. The calamari were superb. Good value for the fresh & appetizing dishes. Wonderful service & lots of parking.
I love the entire menu at "Souvlaki Vieux Grec" where the original, classic flavors of the Mediterranean are created daily from classic family recipes with fresh, authentic ingredients. Whether it's a savory brochette or skewer from the grill, a tender chicken or pork authentic gyro, a crisp refreshing salad, a palate-pleasing appetizer, desserts & more, "Souvlaki Vieux Grec" is a contemporary take on timeless cuisine.
