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.
Très bon service! Portions copieuses & nourriture vraiment très bonne. Une place parfaite pour bien manger dans la vieux Montréal sans se ruiner. La cuisine grecque est toujours une valeur sure!
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.
We visited late afternoon for a late lunch / early dinner. Very welcoming, we sat outside as the weather was lovely. Extensive menu to choose from for both food & drinks. A great 2 for 1 offer on beer after 4pm for a period of time. Friendly , efficient service, delicious food! Very generous portions. We'd definitely return if we visit Montreal again.
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.
We had a great experience at Tzatzi-qui 🇬🇷. The food was excellent-truly delicious & authentic Greek cuisine. The location is ideal for meeting up, situated conveniently near either downtown or the Old Port of Montreal. The prices were fair for the quality of the food & the service was efficient & friendly. This is a solid choice for a casual dinner with friends.
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 ate here twice at lunchtime. Two wonderful experiences. Sat outside in a lovely square with some shade from the sun. Great food & ouzo. The staff were amazing & we Brits were cute apparently. Lovely people.
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
I had a wonderful dinner with my friends, food was great & so fast to come to our table, Amira & Florence gave us a great service tonight, I will definitely come 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!
Delicious greek food! The flavours were impeccable, the servers were attentive & efficient, & the atmosphere was such a vibe! Portion sizes were bigger than average. Highly recommend! Amira, our server, was great.
