Came here after the Formula 1 Grand Prix. They were busy but the food & service were excellent. Everything tasted great. We especially liked the feta dip & chicken skewers. Our server, Max, was helpful & attentive. Great meal, great service!
If I could give more stars I would! Amazing staff. They find a way to give us a table eventhough we did not have a reservation. The food was fast & Amazing! Max was serving us & was awesome. It was my birthday they gave me a dessert & my country happy birthday, which was such a comfort! Nothing to complain! Everything Amazing, thank you for making my day more special!
Le bar est située idéalement !
Une ambiance chaleureuse !
Après avoir mangé un délicieux souper, Jimmy (le barmen) nous a offert un cocktail inconnu mais incroyablement bon & equilibré !
Étant très tatillon sur les breuvage, j'ai senti une vraie maîtrise dans celui que j'ai gouté.
Merci à toute l'équipe !!

Wow! What an adorable & charming Montreal restaurant. We were served incredibly quickly & felt taken care of the whole night. Wait staff went above & beyond.
The food was beyond incredible. Reasonable prices for phenomenal portions! The dips were incredible & worth a revisit.
The decor is very homely & makes you feel comfortable. Well designed !
We will certainly be coming back to visit & bring our family & friends. A true gem in the city!
Yum! ⭐ Went for the first time after hearing lots of praise & it did not disappoint! Their french fries were the surprising star of the show, so fluffy & crisp! Great portions, fresh, & the interior is lovely! Will be back again :) thank you!
Visited from Toronto. By the time we arrived we were starving & as Greeks we wanted to try a Greek restaurant. That wasn't it unfortunately.
Nothing of what we tasted was Greek not even to the slightest.
The lamb chops were just ok but 50$ for 4 little pieces & oven tasteless potatoes (which they were supposed to be lemony as per Greek standards) accompanied by a big uncut tomato with a bad quality feta on top didn't worth the price at all.
The other dish it had only a few pieces of something was supposed to be gyro but it wasn't even close & the most of it was fat & skin & badly seasoned.
The tzatziki? No it wasn't tzatziki at all. It was a wanna be but hardly failed in the process.
The service tho it was amazing. Very helpful & knowledgeable. Well done having such great staff.
The restaurant itself also had a great vibe with nice music.
Très bonne expérience culinaire, la nourriture & les plats proposés sont excellents & respectent le terroir de la gastronomie grecque. Personnel très sympathique, agréable & souriant. C'est la deuxième fois que nous venons & nous apprécions toujours autant. Beaucoup de petites attentions de la part du service. Belle pépite à découvrir ! 💎Une petite attention à Amira pour sa gentillesse & sa bonne humeur 💓
En voyage d'affaire à Montréal le hasard a fait que nous passions devant ce joli restaurant. Je ne regrette pas mon choix, le lieu est beau & bien décoré sans excès, cocktail & calamar frits en entrée, moussaka pour suivre sur les conseils avisés de la très souriante Jade, qui parle aussi bien le français que l'anglais, toujours un oeil pour que nous ne manquions de rien, c'est très appréciable.
Ce fut une très belle expérience culinaire & humaine, j'ai hâte d'y retourner pour goûter d'autres plats que j'ai vu sur les tables voisines & qui faisait envie, les prix sont cohérents avec la qualité des plats, de l'environnement & du service. A bientôt.
