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.
Coming from Toronto, it's not difficult to find, amazing authentic Greek foods there. However, I think I took Montreal's Greek food scene for granted because Village Grec absolutely exceeded my expectations. It's no surprise because this restaurant is located in Montreal's Greek neighbourhood (Parc Extension). Their souvlakis are super tender especially when they're hugged in a warm, fluffy pita. But by far, their most famous dish is their village grec gyro pita which is my personal favourite. I loved how soft, & tender the meat was & with the tzatziki sauce the whole dish just melts in your mouth. Honestly, I think their souvlakis & gyros probably beats any Greek restaurants I've eaten at in Danforth, Toronto (TO's Greek town). The place can get busy, but the wait is so worth it. Village Grec truly doesn't disappoint & only elevates Montreal's food scene even more with its authentic Greek cuisine.
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!
Long time customer but not returning. Very noticeable drop off in food quality & service. Entree & main served at the
same time. Tzatziki entrée came without the usual Kalamata olives & oregano, tasteless tzatziki, & 3 slices of burnt bread for two. Gyro pita wasn't as good or generous as it used to be.
I like their Euro, & their porc sticks, they have my fav kind of french fries. Good tzatziki too
OG greek spot,best gyro in Montreal hands down, everything is perfect from the fresh produce to the homemade tzatziki.
Old school Greek diner wonderful food the best Tzatziki in Montreal very reasonable price, staff is very friendly the place is clean large portions I would definitely go back
