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.
A wonderful find on a quick weekend trip to Montréal. If you've ever wished you had a Greek cousin to invite you over for Sunday dinner, this is the spot. Portions are plentiful, flavors are tasty, & the service is knowledgeable, attentive, & warm. We had a gyro plate & the moussaka & a lovely Greek white wine on recommendation from the bartender, Jimmy. Highly recommend for a cozy Greek meal in Old Montréal!

Had a great time at Tzatzi-qui. The vibe is super chill, the staff are friendly, & the Greek comfort food really hits the spot. Portions are generous (the gyros & chicken pita are legit), & it's an easy go-to if you're in the Old Port & want something tasty without going full fine dining. Would definitely go back with friends for drinks & snacks that turn into a full meal.
Le service était sympa par contre nous étions déçus de notre expérience. La moussaka n'était pas disponible. Le plat gyro s'apparentait à un sandwich avec des frites congelés & un riz assez fade & non un plat comme on a l'habitude de prendre ailleurs.
Dommage !
The table & I thought it was very good. The food was very decent, however the gyro chicken was very dry, which was unfortunate. The waitress was good & friendly & the food was very quick.
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.
Went Thursday evening, ordered a Sapporo, none left, Waitress didn't know had water all night due to the lack of beverage selection. Ordered a gyro plate received a chicken souvlaki pita???
Was told that was the gyro plate not what I expected, should have been told, service slow that we had to ask for another waitress. Second waitress did a better job. Too expensive for a pita souvlaki. Don't think I would go back

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!!!
I may seem strange to be seeking out a Greek restaurant in a largely French part of Canada, but Tzatzi-Qui (a take-off on tzatziki, a creamy yogurt sauce typically served with gyros) is worth a trip. The Dolmades (Dolma Dakia on the menu) & Calamari were excellent, The mixed Gyro plate, however, was disappointing. The chicken was very good, but the pork was overcooked. Nevertheless, if I find myself back in Old Montreal, I would give it another go. Perhaps the chef just had an off night. There's lovely outdoor seating, friendly servers, & excellent wine, & the food we had was more than enough. One suggestion...if you're going for dinner, either arrive early or phone ahead for a reservation. It's a very popular place!

Friendly service. Calamari was kinda dry & small portions but tasted good, & the included tzatziki was great. Got the gyro pork pita & it was perfect. I highly recommend the s'mores frappé cappuccino.
My Greek friend who kept me company also gave her approval.
This review is from someone who is Greek & we love our food so gyro was good , filet mignon was dry & had no flavour, definitely not grilled but seared & put in oven, chicken skewer was dry ,rice needed flavour (Greeks don't eat rice it's a North American thing), saganaki was not good & way to thin,especially for what you pay,drinks were ok, was gonna have the lamb but when I read it comes with a mint sauce that was sad , Greeks don't do mint with lamb, got a feeling the owner is not Greek, there is no Greek restaurant that offer mint with lamb, tzatziki needs more garlic, but that atmosphere is nice just the food wasn't up to par♂️

We have had two wonderful experiences at Tzatzi-qui. We enjoyed the atmosphere, service & the food. The chicken slouvaki & the gyro plate were our favourites! We finished both nights off with baclava of course. So good. Jimmy was excellent & made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this Greek restaurant if you are eating in old Montreal.
Came here for lunch after visiting the museum of Archeology, & it was amazing!! The gyro was the i've ever had by far, but the real highlight of our visit was Jimmy, our server. He went above & beyond to give us an exceptional experience & made the BEST latte I've ever had, complete with homemade whipped cream. the atmosphere was very cozy & cute. would eat here every weekend if i could!
Excellent Greek restaurant. Florence & Jimmy were super friendly, food was amazing & portions huge. Gyro platter especially. Best Sangria I've had all summer. Highly recommend!
Florence was our waitress & she was wonderful. My wife commented that the gyro was the best she'd ever had. I had the mixed grill plate & it was delicious as well (a lot of food).
