Tripolis specializes in traditional Greek and Mediterranean culinary techniques centered on fresh seafood and expertly grilled meats. 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. Fresh ingredients define the preparation of every dish, from cold meze starters to substantial main courses featuring ocean-sourced catches. The consistency of these authentic preparations ensures that the core pillars of Mediterranean cooking are represented accurately in every served portion.
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!
Been a customer for years including the original place in Montreal. First off, the outside door slams behind you & startles you, been like that for years!
Had a variety of food on the menu & most was decent to good. Lamb chops however were dry - not acceptable. New menu prices are exorbitant. Too bad cause I liked going to this place with our parea...

Hole in the wall or shall a say square, 60's style very plain & ugly decor.
Entrance is in middle of resto every time door opens freezing cold air rushes in.
Prices are absolutely ridiculous 40 wesst prices for below mediocre food & terrible ambiance.
Waiters walking around like zombies unhappy.
FIRST TIME & DEFINITELY WONT BE MY LAST!!! Great food , fast service everything is amazing from the ambiance to the employees & of course the food. My brother & I decided to bring my dad here for his birthday !!! We were all so amazed by everything. We ordered a seafood salad , fried calamari a Greek salad we had a pikilia meat dish with pork chops , loukaniko , lamb & chicken & home potatoes, everything was so fresh & savoury!! What a wonderful experience thank you Sotiri for your welcoming hospitality & great service this is my go to place for authentic Greek food from now on will definitely come back here!! Efcharisto poli!! 💕🥹
I highly doubt there is a better restaurant in Montreal. The food, the portions, the hospitality, the personal touch, the mood & the ambiance are impeccable. If you ever touched the Greek culture, that would remind you of it. A restaurant where we feel welcome. Literally like visiting grandma. Delicious food & heart warming experience.
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.
Without a doubt, Tripolis has the best grilled octopus & lamb chops in all of Quebec. It's been consistently good over the years & the people are super kind. Please, never change!
