My good friend Leo took my wife & I to Greek Village for supper. We really enjoyed our meal. The Greek salads that we ordered were delicious. The tomatoes & vegetables were very fresh & the salad dressing was really very good. Also, the skewers of chicken souvlaki were very moist & cooked perfectly. Finally, we finished our meal with baklava which was drenched in honey & the best that I ever tasted. Also, the owner is a very nice & warm person. We highly recommend the restaurant.
When a close friend from Greece insists a local spot tastes'just like back home,' you listen. That's how I found myself at Village Grec Souvlaki, a cozy, unassuming eatery in Montréal that delivers an authentic Greek experience with every bite. From the moment I stepped inside, the warm, taverna-like vibe-complete with Mediterranean accents & the hum of lively conversation, felt inviting.
The star of the show, as promised, is the'Village Grec Gyro'. Wrapped in a soft, pillowy pita, this humble-looking masterpiece is a flavor explosion. Thinly sliced meat is seasoned with a masterful blend of spices, charred to smoky perfection, & paired with crisp tomatoes & onions that crunch like they were plucked from a garden that morning. But the real magic lies in the tzatziki -creamy, tangy, & utterly essential, it elevates the gyro from great to unforgettable. My friend wasn't exaggerating: this is the taste of Greece, no passport required.
What surprised me most was the consistency. After two return visits, each gyro arrived with the same care & quality, a rarity in the fickle world of dining. The staff, friendly & efficient, wear their pride in tradition like a badge of honor, emphasizing their commitment to time-tested methods.
While the gyro alone justifies a pilgrimage, the menu teases other classics: souvlaki skewers sizzling off the grill, Greek salads bursting with feta & olives, & lemon-roasted potatoes that I've vowed to try next time. Takeout & outdoor seating options make it a versatile spot, whether you're craving a quick lunch or lingering over dinner with friends.
In a city brimming with trendy eateries, Village Grec Souvlaki stands out by keeping it simple. No fussy garnishes, no avant-garde twists-just fresh ingredients, tradition, & a commitment to authenticity that's as rare as it is delicious. As my friend said,'This is what it tastes like back home.' & after one bite, you'll believe it too.
One of the best gyros & tzatziki in my opinion. The portions are generous, with tons of meat & tzatziki. Calamaris are also delish. & you can actually share a plate without paying extra. The flat fries are not fantastic, but somehow they serve them in a lot Greek restaurant. Pay a little extra to get the house fries, so much better! I'm not a fan of the traditional Greek music either but hey it's called Greek Village so they give you the full experience!
This Greek restaurant has such a warm, nostalgic vibe, with vintage photos & a cozy, old-world atmosphere that immediately drew us in.
We arrived around 7:30, & although the food took a bit of time to arrive, it was absolutely worth the wait - everything was fresh, flavorful, & high quality.
The staff was extremely polite, friendly & attentive, regularly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better.
Time flew by, & by the time we left around 10 PM, we were the last customers there.
This place has definitely become one of our favorite spots for enjoying a relaxed evening together.

AMAZING authentic delicious Greek food, friendly staff, great prices & portions. Heard about this place on the radio thanks @mikecohen for the recommendation & would 10/10 recommend to ALL 🙌🏽
Greek food has always been a favorite of mine, I've found it more scarce in Montreal than Toronto to my dismay. This restaurant presents everything that makes me love dining at Greek restaurants- big portions for fair prices, great service & generally delicious food. I went for a Gyro platter. The pita was absolutely perfect. I asked for extra onion & got the exact % extra I was aiming for. The rice & salad were a bit plain but didn't need to be stars of the show. I prefer crushed feta for the salad. Amazing fries too. The tenure of this place speaks for itself, the walls are lined with photos of C-D List celebrities that have dined there. The old school wood theme brings comfort along with the food.
Wow ! the best greek restaurant in Montreal !! the food its amazing ! 10/10 ( The mixed grilled meat plates to share its incredible good, lamb, chicken, sausage, porc sticks) wow wow wow!! also the rice & fries delicious ! Please continue the good work team village Grecque Jean Talon! 😉👍
