| - Came here with the old man last night for dinner after moving heavy stuff..way to work up an appetite! I had passed this place countless times but finally decided that on my very last night in Montreal, I was coming, no questions asked. The place is lovely. Lovely interior..like you're on a Greek island in the Aegean, full with statues, Greek bouzouki music, and Mediterranean feel. There is an upstairs area and the interior is quite roomy. We walked in and I was a little put off with how the woman who greeted us and showed us to our table didn't seem cheery or happy to be there. She kind of just looked at us and gestured towards our table. She did warm up to us as the evening went on though! So about the food, yeah, so...we ordered too much. Fried calamari for two..HUGE portion but very tasty! Also, stuffed grape leaves..melted in your mouth. Loved it. Portions are BIG, watch out! They give you A LOT of grilled bread! Ordered one of their wines, a sweet and pleasant Greek white wine. It is a bit pricey in general but I can tell that this is a family mom and pop business. It is important to support those, especially if they have good food! All in all, a lovely and charming place. Very nice. I wish I had come sooner. If I come back to Montreal, I would try to come back!
