Tripolis is described as a cozy Greek restaurant with authentic flavors, generous portions and a warm family vibe, with standout dishes like grilled octopus, calamari and the half Greek chicken with potatoes and salad; the service is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is inviting, though at busy times the place can feel crowded and seating near the kitchen can feel like an afterthought, some dishes are overcooked or pricey, and tzatziki is not always included.
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!
The food was amazing, & everything we ordered was delicious, I never had such delicious calamari they melted in your mouth you didn't even need to eat it with a sauce that speaks volumes, the chicken stick was cooked to perfection it was crispy on the outside & super tender on the inside. The fried vegetables & tzatziki were perfect there wasn't too much batter on it & the seasoning was just right. The portions are very generous. We had plenty to take home. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Well my friends I had stopped going there because of bad service, BUT...Now for some reason all new people working their end it was amazing from beginning to the End.....
What an incredible experience, great young owner with this monument of an establishment this place will for sure live forever with this service, quality etc it was all perfect we will be back
One of the best places to have greek food in the area. The food was amazing & did not disappoint, the service was on point & the house wine was really good. Will for sure revisit!!
The most authentic authentic Greek restaurant in all of Montreal! Don’t hesitate to ask the waiters to translate the daily special from the greek menu in the back! Stuffed peppers, veal, lamb… Love you guys!
Fresh food, cooked to perfection. Very generous portions. Excellent service, great for family outings. If you love greek food, this is a definite place to visit! We will definitely go back.
This restaurant is a typical Greek style diners, no decor whatsoever, but the food is fresh & good.
We were 4 people on a busy Saturday night, place was packed with mostly Greek diners, which is a sign the food is authentic & good.
It’s a family style dining experience, where you order several dishes for everyone to share.
Appetizers: Octopus was good, Calamars also good, fried Zucchini were okay but too much batter & oily, the Tzatziki sauce was really thick & light , not too much garlic, simply delicious. The Greek salad was also very fresh & good.
We ordered a kilo of lamb for our main course; it was really good & more than enough for four people...with all the entrees & bread/tzatziki, this was plenty of food.
dessert: Loukomades ,which are fried pastry dough balls drizzled with Honey , warm & delicious.
Wine list was okay, prices were extremely reasonable, some starting at $30-$40
Price wise, it is very reasonable, approx $150 per couple with tax & tip.
I would recommend it for a casual night out with friends that have good appetites.
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.
Will never know if the food is good here, my family was forced to leave before we could try anything. The waiter was nice, but the owner was not. We got up & left when he decided to insult my young kids.
I am very surprised at the negative reviews here, I guess it is possible that they had a change of staff recently. But the food is amazing.
I have gone there 3 times in the past 3 months, all 3 times have been great. Once as a big group of friends, another time with my girlfriend & the last time alone as I was in the area.
By far the best Greek restaurant I have had the pleasure to dine at so far.
The waiters are fast & give excellent service. At one time I had this waiter, that was a little too fast(A fast talker also) but very professional & charismatic.
The owner is also really cool, often goes out to see if the clients are satisfied with their meal. He strikes me as the type of guy I would love to go out & have a beer with. Funny thing is he offered me a shot of Metaxa.
The food quality is far above the big chains. I know I will be going back there again soon.
