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.
Lovely experience with delicious dishes, personable staff & warm, inviting atmosphere. We shared the tasty dolmas & the heavenly baked/fried feta sto-fourno with their warm pita slices. We also ordered the perfectly portioned savory moussaka accompanied by the horiatiki salad that brightens the flavours of the dish. Thank you to our waitress Jade who rounded out our enjoyable experience. First time diners who will return with friends!
I had a fantastic time! I am not an easy critic. Amazing team. From the manager to the server, to the bartender everyone was so kind & everyone was smiling. I had another dinner planned for the next night & we had not yet decided on a location, I loved it so much we went back the very next day. Food was amazing so tasty ambiance was great! Location is charming. Not one negative thing to say! Thank you Melia

Great little greek restaurant. The food was tasty, just like you'd expect in Greece, wonderful flavours. Amira was friendly, welcoming, helpful & attentive.
We'll be back in our next visit to Montreal.
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.
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.

Loved everything about this restaurant! Our waitress was incredibly attentive & accommodating. She happily adjusted the dishes to our needs & answered all our menu questions with patience.
We ordered the Kota Chicken Skewer & the Kota Pita with chicken, & both were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the chicken was tender & flavorful, & the tzatziki sauce was perfectly creamy & tasty.
Will definitely be coming back!
Great environment & very tasty food! Chicken skewers were so flavourful, & the fried zucchini was so crispy! The wait staff were always around to provide what we needed. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Excellent service, everything on time, excepcional quality & tasty, we ordered skewers & pita for 3 but was more than enough. Absolutely recommended. Stuff was lovely & the atmosphere AWESOME!!
Great authentic Greek cuisine! The lamb chops super tender! Tzatziki sauce was tasty & the fries were the best i have had in a long time. Will be coming back for sure
Lunch/dinner is pretty good, tasty & good portions Brunch - not so much - the portions are small & the waffles taste like they were store bought The decor gives it an authentic feel, but the fact that none of the wait staff seems to be Greek & the fact that they don't play Greek music takes away from the authenticity of the place (they were playing a few Caribbean style songs on repeat when I went). Although the music can be fun, it's not what I expect when going to a Greek restaurant.

Lovely place to visit while in old port, Good atmosphere, tasty food. Was missing a bit of flavor for a greek place. Service was meh. It was Saturday around noon, not many people just yet. No reason to be this slow knowing old port is the busiest area in Montreal they should expect moving fast. Waitress was not very upbeat, so we sat there for 15 min waiting to order & got food 20 min later. 4 stars for the place, 2 stars for the service
On first vacation to Montreal with sister & 2 fabulous friends & stopped by for lunch during our visit to Old Montreal & the pier. WONDERFUL spot for tasty dips & lunch gyro platters!! Highly recommend for good food, service & atmosphere!! Would come again!! Thanks so much to Jimmy, Kassy, Arielle for the fabulous service!!
The place was nice, very solid quality Greek food. We ordered butcher's plate for two people, which was more than enough - we took about a third of it to-go. I found the chicken & pork kenabs a little dry. Red wine sangria was very tasty. Service is great! I liked the decor inside & the fact you can enjoy their patio seating in warm weather.
