The kitchen prepares classic staples such as calamari, whole grilled fish, and souvlaki utilizing authentic herbs and high-quality olive oil. Diners encounter a menu that emphasizes the natural flavors of the Aegean coast through balanced seasoning and proper cooking temperatures. The environment prioritizes functional simplicity, allowing the focus to remain entirely on the composition of the plates.

Tripolis provides a cozy and family oriented atmosphere that many patrons find welcoming and authentic for enjoying traditional Greek cuisine. While many diners praise the consistently high quality of dishes like the fried zucchini, grilled octopus, and Greek chicken, opinions remain divided regarding the value of the menu. Some visitors appreciate the attentive service and generous portions, highlighting the establishment as a favorite local destination, whereas other guests express concerns about rising prices, occasional inconsistencies in food preparation, and a crowded dining environment. Overall, the experience is often characterized by a home made quality that keeps long time customers returning, despite varied feedback on specific menu items and general comfort.
A decent restaurant in a strip plaza. I have not been to a Greek restaurant in Montreal for quite a few years & I always compared them favourably to the Toronto ones. It seems now, both Toronto-style food (rice &/or oven potatoes) & prices have moved to Montreal. Anyway, the food (calamari, pork souvlaki, lamb chops) was really good (& quite a lot). They were served with a large plate of the so-called greek salad (not the village variety) with a few trimmings of feta cheese for a small extra charge. There was no any portion of tzatziki served with the souvlaki, as it it customary in Toronto. The fries were the only negative point. They were cut in round slices, so thin that they were kind of burned & hard. All in all, a good meal but nothing special to warrant a return visit.
Such a great experience! The food & service were amazing. We tried the fried zucchini, lamb chops, calamari, & octopus, & everything was sooo delicious. The portions were also very generous, perfect for sharing. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & we had such a nice time. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
This place is my Greek food go to. I didn't try their wines but can confirm their house sangria is incredible! Calamari is the best around; although pricy. Their half a Greek chicken, potatoes & salad are delicious. Down side, tzatiki isn't included with the dishes.

Was their last Saturday we took the first seatingour order started with calamari excellent,spanakopita great,to small ,felt we were rushed,got up went to the cash asked the waiter to slow down the order ,told me it's out already & I had ordered the land chops full of nerve ,my wife the chicken breast very dry ,not a place to have a quiet evening
Generous portions. Calamari was alright & the marinara sauce was tastier than most but also very gelatinous instead of saucy. Lamb chops weren't bad. Rice was flavourful. House salad was just fine, although I wish the app would tell you what the difference was between that & a green salad for example. Galaktobouriko was typical.
So it all started with a craving for calamaris & we found this spot on the internet & we went for it. First time did not deceive, & will certainly not be our last time. It's a cute Greek vybe, typical traditional menu, portion were big, service was really friendly & most importantly the food was amazing. A must try, i highly recommend. Thank you for the Tripolis team for a nice dinner.
Dining at Tripolis was an unforgettable experience for our group of six, making our evening not just a meal, but a journey through Greek culinary excellence. From the moment we sat down, the aroma of what tasted like freshly baked bread welcomed us, hinting at the feast that was to follow. This wasn't just any bread; it was toasted to perfection, warm & comforting, setting a high bar for what was to come. Our adventure continued with salad that was a revelation in itself - robust, fresh, & satisfying enough to be considered a meal. The Shrimp Tripolis, sautéed in wine, was a standout dish, cooked to perfection & capturing the essence of the sea with every bite. Not to be outdone, the Fried Calamaris raised the bar for seafood, tasting as if they were caught & cooked in the same breath, delivering a freshness that's hard to find. Despite the indulgence in appetizers, we found room for the main courses, among which the Quebec baby lamb chops were a marvel of culinary artistry. Each chop was a masterpiece, cooked flawlessly to exude flavors that were both rich & delicate. The Greek chicken accompanied by unbelievably delicious potatoes rounded out the meal, leaving an indelible mark on our palates. Our companions were equally pleased with their selections, adding to the chorus of approval. What truly set Tripolis apart, however, was not just the food, but the atmosphere. Despite the restaurant's official closing time of 9 PM, we found ourselves comfortably seated well past this hour, surrounded by a bustling environment of satisfied diners & a staff that radiated happiness in their work. The privilege of being served by Sotiri, the owner himself, added a personal touch that made the evening even more special. Tripolis is not just a restaurant; it's a place where passion for food & joy in service blend seamlessly to create an experience that transcends the ordinary. Our dinner was more than just a meal; it was a celebration of Greek culinary traditions, delivered with a warmth & hospitality that's rare to find. We left with full stomachs & happy hearts, knowing that whenever the craving for authentic Greek cuisine strikes again, Tripolis will be our undeniable choice.
