Village Grec emerges in these reviews as an authentic old school Greek spot with a warm, unpretentious vibe and generous portions. The gyros and souvlaki are repeatedly praised for tender meat, rich tzatziki, and pita that stays soft, with many noting the flavor as among the best in Montreal. The atmosphere is described as nostalgic and welcoming, with friendly staff and a sense of tradition that keeps regulars coming back and even visitors seeking a taste of Greece. Takeout and outdoor seating add convenience, and prices are commonly seen as very good value for the portion and quality. While most experiences highlight consistency and depth of flavor, a few comments mention slower service or occasional dips in quality and a couple of items not meeting expectations, such as fries or salad. The menu also features salads with feta, grilled skewers, lemon roasted potatoes, and baklava, with reviewers praising freshness and straightforward preparation. Overall, Village Grec is viewed as a reliable Montreal staple that delivers authentic Greek cuisine, strong portions, and friendly service, making it a top choice for both longtime fans and curious visitors.
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.

In a million years, I never thought I would ever post a lack luster review for one of my all time favorite spots. But unfortunately, here it is. Today I ordered 2 chicken souvlaki on pita & Greek salad. I paid almost $30 which I honestly don't care about for the nostalgia factor but my 2 pitas had one dollop of tsatsiki at the front end of the pita, two half pieces of sliced tomato on each side & the skewer of chicken. Needless to say, there was no tomato or tsatsiki in the 2nd half of my pitas. The Greek salad had only 2 olives (but a decent piece of feta) & the container provided made it so that it leaked through the bag & made it difficult to carry without it getting all over me. Last time I went the pita were much better. So my review is a combo of both visits. As it sure was disappointing this time around, I'm sorry to say.
Sympathique ambiance old school à l'intérieur, avec babioles & bibelots qui ornent les murs. Service très chaleureux! Bonne bouffe aussi!
On y est allé un petit groupe de 8 personnes pour dîner. Ils ont placé des tables pour nous accueillir. Je me devais d'essayer le pita giro'Village Grec' & c'est ce que j'ai fait, en le prenant dans une assiette comprenant salade, riz & frites. La salade était bien; très fraîche! Les frites était plutôt ordinaires; très classiques... Pas mon genre. J'aurais préféré qu'elle soient faites maison. Le riz était, lui aussi, peu mémorable. Assiette généreuse en somme. Mais c'est vraiment le pita qui volait le show; substantif & savoureux!
Service méga sympathique de la gentille dame qui nous a accueilli. Par contre, il n'a pas été des plus rapides.
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.
We went there before & the food & service was always great. yesterday we had a bad experience there. The staff was awesome like before, kind, welcoming & smiling. The quality of the food was decreased a lot. The salad seemed not fresh. The rice was too oily & the cut of gyro wasn't as fine as it should be. But the worst part of our experience was the cleanliness of the washroom. I don't like to say that but the washroom was the dirtiest washroom that I have seen. Water tank didn't work & the toilet didn't have water.
