Ouzeri — Restaurant in Montreal

We were for looking to have dinner outside and it was nearing dinner time so we decided to call and see if it was necessary to make a reservation. The gentleman on the phone highly recommended making the reservation and so we had our table set aside for us. Upon arrival, there may be two tables out of the entire restaurant that we’re occupied. so we thought maybe it was a false encouragement to make the reservation. However as we made our way throughout the meal, no more than 30 to 40 minutes later as we turned around the whole entire restaurant was filled. There wasn’t a single table available and this was roughly 6 o’clock on a Saturday night. That being said, keep that in mind if you choose to visit this restaurant for dinner. It was explained to us that the dishes are served in the type of tapas fashion. Meaning, some of the dishes did not necessarily come with sides so you needed to order rice or whatever else you wanted. Some of the portions were also on the small side so they encouraged us to order a variety of plates. That way we could all share. In the end we have the Saganaki flambé cheese to share, Another order of bread and spread, a spaghetti dish, moussaka, feta lamb, and shrimp dish. There was more than enough food for the four of us, and we managed to take some of it home. The staff was very attention, it and quick . we enjoyed the vibe inside the restaurant and did delicious food. We managed to walk to the restaurant. However, if you’re coming by Car, you will have to find parking on the street and depending on the time of day and the day of the week you might need to pay for...

I was excited to try this spot, but I shouldn’t have trusted the google reviews! The food was absolutely abysmal. Dishes are huge, and they come in absolutely drowned in a sea of overcooked, bland, oily and watery vegetables that make no sense in the dish itself. A “stuffed eggplant” that was simply a vegetable salad. When the dishes came to our table, we couldn’t even remember what we had ordered because every dish was topped in this insane veggie medley that is absolutely not authentic by the way. The lamb moussaka is obviously frozen and reheated, and tastes like ground beef. Beyond the food, service was also cold and uninterested. No assigned waiter to our table, whichever staff member felt like checking on our table would simply come up. No explanation of the huge menu. Simply put: no one seemed to care, not the kitchen, not the service staff. Please do yourself a favour and...

A Delightful Greek Feast at Ouzeri!

My recent visit to Ouzeri Greek Restaurant in Montreal was an absolute pleasure! We decided to share a few dishes to get a good taste of their offerings, and we were thoroughly impressed.

The Mediterranean shrimp was incredibly flavourful and cooked to perfection, a definite highlight. The chicken brochettes were tender and juicy, clearly made with fresh ingredients. We also enjoyed their perfectly roasted potatoes and the fresh, well-prepared vegetables that accompanied our meal. And of course, the warm pita bread was the ideal accompaniment for soaking up all the delicious flavours.

Every single dish was very well made, incredibly tasty, and tasted wonderfully fresh. Ouzeri truly delivers an authentic and enjoyable Greek dining experience. We can't...
