Ouzeri

Ouzeri occupies a rare niche in Montréal’s Greek food scene, somewhere between the atrocious BYOB casa grecque and company and the high-​end Milos. Ouzeri serves good-​quality, tasty yet affordable Greek food in a casual atmosphere. The saganaki and feta lamb are must-​haves. The octopus is hit-​and-​miss, sometimes delicious, sometimes overcooked and chewy. But overall it’s very good. Be aware that the place can get quite animated. It’s perfect for a get-​together with friends. If you’re nice you might even get offered a shot of ouzo ;-)

A very cozy place that serves awesome dishes. Try grilled octopus and lamb, they are so tender and delish~! The prices are very affordable and food is delicious, I recommend this place for casual dinner at any occasion.

a little tricky to find at night, but a cozy spot with delicious food. opa!

Not too much to say here that hasn’t been said. Been looking for a quality Greek place and this scratches the itch. Mid-​high end so it would work as a nice date place as well but it’s the food that’s important and it’s right on. I’ve been looking for a good, fired at the table saganaki since I had my first years ago and I found it here along with multiple other well done tapas.

I know nil about Greek food except the run-​of-​the-​mill kind that you find in a food court. You know, grilled chicken brochette served with some potatoes, lettuce and tzatziki slapped on a styrofoam plate that’s always way too small. Perhaps this is why it took me two years to finally give this place a shot. The hubby and I went there for dinner on new year’s eve, the main reason being it was frigging cold that evening and we didn’t want to walk too far from home.
To be honest with you, I was initially disappointed when they seated us in their upstairs dining room because it isn’t as pretty as the main dining room that’s visible from the sidewalk. But hey, I said to myself, at least the chalet ambiance was nice. Anyway, this review is about food so let me get to the point. I had their vodka beef stew from their specialties menu, which the server described as tender beef in creamy spicy mushroom sauce. She had me at «creamy mushroom». Boy what an excellent choice that was. Every bite was a delight. The downside was the plate of potatoes and steamed vegies that we ordered on the side. They were quite bland. I wonder, though, if they were purposely bland so that they wouldn’t take the spotligĥt away from the main dish. My hubby had a lamb dish, also from the specialties menu, and it was equally wonderful.
Lastly, a special mention goes to the complimentary appetizer which consists of these small meatballs in tomato sauce. They were quite the delicious little suckers. I’ll definitely order them next time I’m there.

On me parle d’Ouzeri depuis pas mal de temps, et je passé tous les jours devant en rentrant chez moi: ce restaurant est toujours bondé. C’est donc avec pas mal d’attentes que nous y sommes allés un soir de semaine, en amoureux.
Dès notre arrivée, nous nous sommes vu offrir un verre de vin Grec suivi de quelques bouchées (Tzaitziki, Humus…) — Quel accueil !
L’endroit est malheureusement très bruyant car très fréquenté et adapté aux groupes. Mais la qualité et la quantité de la nourriture nous a fait passer outré. La carte est belle et vraiment remplie: on né sait plus où donner de la tête !! J’ai pris les calamars farcis contre la fameuse Moussaka pour mon cher et tendre.
Un régal !! Ouzeri est vraiment un super restau entre amis ou en famille, mais un peu moins adapté en amoureux car trop bruyant.
Un dernier conseil: né vous emballez pas car les portions sont très généreuses. Mais au pire vous partez avec les restes pour continuer de vous régaler le lendemain.

Quantité de bouffe énorme.
Qualité moyenne.
La place est bien située, l’alcool est cher et pas très bon.

First visit this week. Was great, good food, good prices, great discovery.

I’ve been to Ouzeri about 4 times. I’ve never been disappointed. That being said I’ve not been blown away either. I would have preferred to rate it 3.5 stars but we can’t.
The service is always friendly. No complaints. I enjoy their meze plate.
Don’t be shy to give it a try!

This place is actually huge, definitely noisy, but the energy is great. Staff is friendly and efficient even when the place is packed. My Beef Martini (a house specialty, kind of a beef stew) was really good, and so were the entrée (assorted Greek dips) and dessert (salty-​yummy Greek yoghourt with almonds and honey).
Good wine list, fair prices. Happy place. Will return :)
