Villa du Souvlaki
Avoid This Place: A Masterclass in Culinary Disappointment
I've had my fair share of takeout, but my first & absolute last time ordering from Villa du Souvlaki was a genuine disaster. I placed a pickup order for a Hero & a Double Chicken Souvlaki platter, & honestly, I would have been better off eating the receipt.
The'Hero' (If You Can Call It That)
The Hero was a joke. It was undersized, lacked any real flavor, & was bone-dry. There was barely any sauce to speak of-just a sad, bland sandwich that didn't live up to its name in the slightest.
The Double Chicken Souvlaki Platter: A Tragedy
The portion size was the only thing that wasn't a total failure, but quantity doesn't matter when the quality is this offensive.
The Chicken: I've chewed on more flavorful napkins. These two sticks were incredibly dry & completely tasteless. I'm not exaggerating when I say cardboard has more flavor than this meat.
The French Fries: They clearly use the cheapest frozen fries they can find. Limp, uninspired, & tasted like freezer burn.
The Salad: This was a collection of'old' ingredients. The tomatoes were mushy, there was a'whisper' of cucumber, a tiny bit of onion, & a dressing that tasted like absolutely nothing.
The Garlic Bread: Stale, dry, & apparently the chef is afraid of butter.
The Verdict: I literally couldn't eat it. After a few bites of trying to find a redeeming quality, I gave up & threw the entire meal in the garbage. What a massive waste of money & a total disappointment for a Montreal staple. If you're looking for a decent meal, keep driving. 0/5.

I had a lovely experience at this Greek restaurant! I ordered the gyro salad with pita & it was absolutely delicious-fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meat, & the pita was warm & soft. What made the visit even more special was the hospitality. When they found out I had just moved to the neighborhood, they welcomed me with a homemade dessert on the house. Such a kind & thoughtful gesture! I'll definitely be coming back. A real gem in the area!

Excellent food. I literally tried every plate. One of the best grekj salads that i ever had The only reason i gave 4 stars is that no taziki came with my two chicken skewer plate. Taziki is a must & i feel that we shouldnt have to pay extra for it, totally felt like a rip-off & kind of ruined my experience

Update Mar 2025: Gyros pita meat was too salty to my taste. Pork pita meat was tender & delicious. Maintenance deficient: worn out baseboard heaters with pitting rust need to be replaced or at least repainted. There was a suspicious large accumulation (6 in x 1 in x 1in) of dark floor dirt against the western corner of the electric heater under the large main window. I struggled to finish my meal after seeing that.
2024: Have been returning for decades to this restaurant for their (2 marinated grilled pork brochettes) souvlaki platter (with fries & greek salad). Very satisfying with a softdrink. Parking can be difficult on narrow Prud'Homme or on busy Sherbrooke W. Sherbrooke exit of Autoroute 15. Order at the counter & sit at a table. Simple service.

Everything was exactly the same as I remember it from 30 years ago. The Greek salad was fresh, the fries were still round, the chicken brochette was tender, the tzatziki was perfectly made, the spanikopita was amazing & the people working at the cash were friendly & competent. I would definitely recommend grabbing a quick bite from here.

Came here with my partner for dinner after an event. Food is pretty tasty. We had the gyro & chicken pita but unfortunately we had been given to gyros instead of one chicken & one gyro. I didn't want to waste food so I ate it instead of asking for the correct pita. Salad & potatoes we're good.

I think the restaurant is in need of a makeover as if feels dated.
