I had heard legendary things about Parthenon Souvlaki from their main location on Van Horne. When I heard that they had opened up a second place on Queen Mary I was thrilled! The ambience of the restaurant is what you'd expect from a small, warm family business and overall the meal tasted delicious!
The Tzatziki had lots of garlic and the souvlaki was out-of-this-world. Service was fine and speedy, though not terribly friendly. My friend and I both got the mixed plate (three sticks - one pork, two chicken) which came with a house salad, fries and rice. The portions were very generous for the price ($15 a plate). All of the souvlaki sticks were incredibly tender and juicy, I don't know what they marinate them in, but it's some of the best souvlaki I've ever had in Montreal. The sides were also quite good with fresh crispy vegetables in the salad and very flavourful rice. Other members in our dining party got the Chicken pita and they also found it to be very juicy, tender and packed with flavour.
Although we wanted to try the Baklava for dessert, by the time we finished our plates we were far too full. An extra bonus, this place is BYOW / Apportez Votre Vin which helps keep the cost of the meal down. Parthenon is much more reasonably priced than what you'd pay at Arahova or Marathon's and the food is much better. Can't wait to go back and eat there again!
