Tripolis comes across as a cozy, family run Greek restaurant with amazing flavors and generous portions, and the atmosphere is consistently described as warm and lively. Many reviews call the food authentic Greek and highlight favorites like grilled octopus, fried zucchini, saganaki, and a juicy chicken dish, with the house wine and a notably good sangria earning praise. Value is mixed at times, as some dishes feel pricey for the experience and a few items miss the mark, such as overcooked rice or chicken and tzatziki not included with every dish. Seating can be a gripe on busy nights, with some guests noting crowded rooms or a table near the kitchen or entrance. Despite these notes, Tripolis is often recommended for consistent quality, friendly service, and a warm, authentic Greek vibe that keeps guests returning.
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.

I ordered for the very first time today. I had the Chicken Souvlaki plate with fries, Greek potatoes, & a large'everything salad'. Absolutely delicious!! I will be ordering again soon for sure!
Great service. Food was generally good, but I wasn't a fan of their roasted potatoes, maybe due to lack of seasoning. The salad offered with the meal was big, but the dressing was basic, probably healthier, but not the tastiest. I liked their dessert called galaktoboureko. One of the few or the only restaurant open until 10pm weekdays in that side of Laval, in 2024.
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.
After working late yesterday, we decided to try Tripoli on a week night. I don't remember the food ever being so good! We ordered the cold Pikilia & it was plentiful. Everything on the plate was delicious from the Kopanisti, Tzantziki, to the beets, & herring. I must have eaten 3 slices of bread with it. We then shared a 2 stick souvlaki plate (one chicken & one pork) with the flat potatoes, & the everything salad. Everything was tasty, cooked to perfection, & I appreciate they did not use a lot of salt. The superior ingredients spoke for themselves , we took leftovers & today they are just as good. The price was also reasonable. Great to see new ownership doing a great job!

Went with the girlfriend & her parents for a nice night out. If you want souvlaki on pita, look elsewhere. But if you want authentic Greek food, then this is the place!
We had the octopus, taramosalata, tzatiki as starters & they were fantastic; the tzatiki was thick & tasty - not runny like you get at other places. Octopus with capers coulda been a meal unto itself.
Dinner was lamb (by the kilo) with sides of potatoes, rice & greek salad. I highly recommend trying the oven roasted potatoes with lemon...I prolly put on 5 lbs with those alone.
Dessert was the little dough balls (dunno what they're called) with honey & yoghurt...OMG, I stuffed myself.
