Across numerous reviews, Tzatzi qui in Old Montreal is described as a warm, cozy Greek spot with a welcoming vibe that suits both casual dinners and celebrations. The food is often praised for being fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, with favourites like dips and tzatziki, calamari, gyros, souvlaki, and moussaka highlighted. Service is consistently lauded for attentiveness and warmth, with bartenders and servers noted for good recommendations and friendly, seamless handling of groups. The atmosphere ranges from intimate and romantic to lively and social, with charming decor, soft lighting, and a patio that many guests enjoy. On some visits the food has fallen short for a few diners, with meat that was overcooked or dry, or dishes that did not meet expectations, and on busy nights reservations were recommended. Prices are generally fair for the quality and portions, though a handful of reviewers considered the value higher end for the area. Overall, the reviews present Tzatzi qui as a standout Greek option in the area with a strong emphasis on friendly service, a warm ambiance, and delicious, shareable plates that make many guests eager to return.
This was the best restaurant that we went to during our time in Montréal. I got the mixed gyro plate & Margathéna cocktail. The food was great, good portion size & very flavourful. Drink was made well & was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Also our server Jimmy was very friendly.

Un immense merci pour ce service exceptionnel ! Jimmy a été absolument au top du début à la fin. On s'est senties tout de suite à l'aise. Les cocktails étaient délicieux & préparés avec soin. Ça fait toute la différence de tomber sur quelqu'un qui aime vraiment ce qu'il fait. Une expérience au top, je recommande sans hésiter !
Everything was perfect from the cocktails to the entrées & mains. The moussaka was to die for, the fries were perfectly crispy & the meats were seasoned to perfection. The girl who served us was so nice & polite & we had a lot of fun. Finally, the music was at the right volume & it was really good songs!
Merci pour cette belle découverte. Endroit chaleureux, service impeccable (Merci a Jade & ta collègue a qui je j'ai pas eu le temps de demander le prénom). La nourriture est délicieuse, une belle expérience culinaire pour un fille de campagne, ce resto m'a charmé. Je vais devoir retourner goûter le reste du menu & le faire découvrir. J'ai pris un cocktail en apéro le'Zeus' style Mojitos avec un goût prononcer d'anis, juste wow.
Quel bel endroit! Atmosphère chaleureuse & accueillant. Je ne suis pas tant fan de bouffe grec mais j'ai quand même donné ma chance & je suis repartie avec un tout autre avis par rapport à la cuisine Grec. Tout est fait maison, portion généreuse. Carte des vins qui s'agence parfaitement avec le menu composé de plusieurs vin de type grec évidement. Carte des cocktails super le fun, pour commencer la soirée! Mais notre coup de coeur fut Jimmy! Du début à la fin, service attentionné, amicale, un vrai pationné! Ses conseils nous à permis de passer une très belle soirée tout en découvrant le menu. Cela fait en sorte que le Tzatzi-qui est un restaurant que je recommande sans hésitation|

Great spot for a date !
We shared the appetizer platter & the shrimp skewer platter. All was incredible! Cocktails were great & to top it off Amira was 12/10. Hilarious, attentive, great recommendations! She made the experience !
Incredible food, ordered the platter for two. Amazing service all around, especially from Jimmy, who was super friendly & kind. Also made the best looking cocktails I've ever seen!
Great cocktails. Appetizers were tasty & copious (shared 2 plates for 2 & we were 7… was more than plenty). Main course was meh. Gyro were fine but not delicious. Mixed gyro didn't have much meat. I don't recommend the mousaka. Anyway. Great spot for restaurant in the old port & fine for what we were looking for. But won't go back.
EDIT: went a second time & had a not so nice situation because they needed a reservation while the restaurant was not full. Then it took them forever to serve.
A hidden gem in the Old Port! Totally recommended if you want something fresh & healthy.
Food is delicious, comes in perfect portions, & is so fresh.
The service is also beyond average: our waitress was always attentive, quick, & kind.
Drinks, both mocktails & cocktails are really good.

My friend & I were visiting for a weekend from NY, & walked past Tzatzi-Qui & decided to pop in for a quick bite. Amira was our server & her energy & recommendations were flawless. Our food was fantastic, cocktails were bomb! Make sure you try the Margathena & Frozen Eros-press martini! 100% coming back.
We had a wonderful experience at Tzatzi-qui in Old Montreal! The cuisine was superb - fresh, authentic Greek flavors with a menu that is simple yet absolutely delicious. The cocktails were excellent, perfectly crafted to complement the food.
What truly made our evening special was our server, Amira. She was incredibly kind, attentive, & guided us beautifully through the menu, making the whole experience seamless & enjoyable.
The atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope for in a Greek restaurant - warm, inviting, & family-friendly, with a genuine sense of conviviality. It felt more like being welcomed into a friend's home than just dining out.
The food was amazing. Bravo. To start, our drinks: they had Greek Fix beer, so my husband was sold. A great selection on summer cocktails. Next, our app: Calamari. A+ quality truly. 1 app is enough for 2 but not more... This is not Marvens or Marathons. This is a boutique restaurant. Our main plates... We had a gyro platter & a souvlaki pita all dressed. Generous portions. Great quality meat... Not too fatty, not too salty. A definite repeat next time we are in mtl!!!
Amazing food with great cocktails! Out waitress Fleur was amazing & so attentive! The food is so well seasoned & tender. The cocktails were original & all exceptionally done! Would def come back!
Superbe découverte ! On a pris le Plateau du Chef pour 2. La portion était TRES généreuse pour le prix ! On aurait pu la manger a 3 ! Tres agréablement surprise par la trempette Skordalia. Un peu moins de la Tarama qui s'approchait étrangement de l'anchois (selon moi). La trempette Tirokafteri plus dense que je ne pensais, donc plutot une tartinade qu'une trempette. Crevettes bien dodues etc etc...
Tarif très abordable pour le vieux port. Service agréable. Belle déco. Cocktail Perséphone SUBLIME ! Je reviendrais pour tester la Moussaka !
