Village Grec offers authentic Greek cuisine with generous portions and good value, praised for fresh, flavorful dishes such as gyros and grilled meats, friendly and efficient service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, with many diners returning for a reliable lunch and dinner experience, while a few reviews note occasional seasoning inconsistencies, some dishes not meeting expectations, and a casual setting that may not suit everyone.
My first time trying them considering the overwhelming positive reivew. Tried the Chicken gyro pita & their Porc & Lamb gyro pita.
The good stuff: The portion & size was generous, their tzaziki is on the watery side due to the fact that there is a lot of cucumber bits but delicious with a sharp lemon acidity, wished it was slightly thicker but overall a good sauce.
The bad: Their protein was so underwhelmingly seasoned, lack salt, lack herbs, lack spices, its the first time in my life that I sprinkled salt in my gyro pita (I had over 20 greek restaurants experience, & I never had to do this, even in a mediocre food court Greek chain). The chicken gyro was even worst, it was blander than costco's rotisserie chicken. I am not sure if I tried on a wrong day but this was beyond unacceptable. The fries they put inside the gyro is cloying & also unsalted. Spreading of tzaziki is not well balanced, 2/3 down the gyro, there was no more sauce.
We went during the holiday week it was quite busy, & ordered the chicken gyro plate & the mixed gyro plate. The food was very good & the service was fast. Overall, a great experience

The place has not been renovated in maybe 30 years & the parthenon like painting in the main dining area actually looks like it may be the original. All this to say that you dont come here for the atmosphere, to see or to be seen. You come here for Greek fast food prepared as if your value conscious mother ran that restaurant kitchen. Here is a little secret. They buy air chilled chicken (as opposed to water cooled) so that when they marinate it to make the chicken sticks or brochettes the air chilled chicken can better absorb the marination. You taste it in every bite. It is probably the best tasting chicken stick in town. Combine that with their oven roasted potatoes with green salad & rice & you now understand why the greek gods ain't leaving. One other important mention is value. I took my wife out with my sister & my two nieces & we all ate more than what we can handle & the bill came to $160 taxes & tip included (no alcohol or soft drinks & no dessert). In today's hyper inflation environment that is a deal. Enjoy.
I had dinner here with my partner last night on a whim after running errands in Laval. I usually get takeout from the Jean-Talon location, but this was my first time dining in. My pita chicken gyro was absolutely delicious (as always), but I am leaving this review specifically to highlight the excellent service we received. Our server was so welcoming & attentive. I unfortunately didn't catch her name, but she truly made our experience even better.
I ordered Chicken Souvlaki which came with rice, potatoes (can be fries or Greek potato), & salad (Greek or lettuce). The portions are big but very tasty. We ordered Baklava & it was absolutely delicious, I wished they had black tea, it would go so well with Baklava. The only issue was that the place wasn't very clean, lots of food & dirt on the carpet!

Walked in for dinner on Friday night & no one served us for a few minutes.. staff was too busy taking online & phone orders. Sat down & noticed cutlery was dirty had to ask for a replacement. When ordering we're told they are out of baked potatos on a Friday before 7pm. When paying, tipping is set to a minimum of 17% on the payment device. Ordered chicken brochette platter which arrived in 90 seconds which shows they are being reheated, & as a result was overcooked & dry. Service, cleanliness & overall management seems lacking at best. Not going back.
I ordered one kilo of gyro chicken to make chicken salads at home & It was very good. The place was very clean & the lady who served me was very courteous.I would order again.
This has been a place I have been going to for some time & once again had a lovely meal. Atmosphere is typical Greek family style & cosy. This is not a high end restaurant intentionally, it's a cosy family place that's clean & offers great personable service with delicious authentic Greek dishes at reasonable prices with good portions. I have had all their gyros & souvlaki's (chicken, lamb, & porc) & all were great. Tzatziki is delicious without being too garlicky. I have not had their other dishes but from what I have seen, smelled, & spoken to other patrons the all have stated they loved their food - proof was all the empty plates. Summer means their patio is open & we went with our little dog & sat on the patio & the brought a nice fresh cold water with ice in a large aluminum take out tray & he was relaxed while we ate. So for all the dog lovers with well behaved & trained dogs that are not too large, call before hand & confirm if they can accommodate your dog too.
