I tried to get into this place last year during a trip to Montreal, but was unsuccessful as they were full. This year I went a little earlier & was able to get a seat at the bar - since I was solo & they were again very busy. This was a bit of luck, as the bartender, Jimmy, was a gem. He was taking care of the people seated at the bar, plus making all the drinks for the tables. He understood the assignment & kept my water glass full. (It is very hot in Montréal right now, & I was downing glass after glass of water.) He also made me a delicious limoncello spritz (which went down way too easily) & took my food order. I ordered the calamari as I'd had a late lunch & only wanted something light. My food arrived quickly & I wasn't disappointed. The calamari was lightly breaded, cooked to perfection & came with a lovely creamy, garlicky sauce. I did experience a bit of food envy when I saw the wonderful platters of dips with pita & kebab platters coming out of the kitchen for my fellow bar diners. Next trip to Montreal, I will reserve a table in advance & come with my full appetite to experience some of the wonderful dishes that I saw. I may even bring a friend!

We had a great evening on the patio. Food was delicious, staff was super nice. They let us stay & take our time as they were closing up. Grape vine leaves & fried zucchini were delicious, amongst many other things.

Très agréable service par Florence. Nous étions 4 & nous avons mangé des pitas ainsi que des entrées à base de fêta, tout était excellent ! Nous n'avons rien à redire sur la qualité des produits, nous reviendrons!

It's clear the place is managed poorly. The wait staff & kitchen are doing their best but it's like they were set up to fail by management. Our waitress was very kind & understanding.

First night in Montreal & this was the perfect Greek restaurant fix! The food & drinks were on point, some of the best octopus we have had. Service was outstanding, thanks to Florence, our amazing server. Can't wait to revisit when we are back in town!

Food was great, service a bit, had to ask multiple times for more water but the staff were extremely friendly.. my only critique was the music playing.. while I enjoyed it, it didn't fit with the greek atmosphere.. should've been something authentic.. otherwise great place & I'd go back.
