C'est beau. C'est chaud. C'est très Montréal…read more Where do I begin? Absolument fantastique! On our very first night in Montréal, we did what any responsible travelers would do: absolutely no planning whatsoever. We wandered in on a whim and somehow landed straight into what can only be described as a culinary jackpot. First visit to the city, and honestly, it set the bar so high everything else on the trip is still emotionally recovering. As a first-time visitor to Montreal, I can't imagine a better way to kick off a vacation with friends. We arrived during a full-on heat wave, which meant the restaurant was doing its best impression of "authentic Mediterranean sauna experience." But here's the twist: nobody cared. Not even a little. The food and service were working overtime to distract us from the fact that we were gently melting into our chairs. Before long, espresso martinis were appearing with suspicious frequency, and a perfectly respectable Negroni made an appearance as well. Now. We must talk about the true headliner. No notes. No edits. No constructive criticism. I do not say this lightly, but the fresh pita may have been life-changing. If you enjoy pita, feta, flavor, joy, serotonin, or the concept of happiness itself, please order it immediately. Do not consult the group. Do not "wait and see." Just act. NOW. No modifications. No hesitation. No regrets. The entrées were also fantastic. In fact, they were so fantastic that I failed my duties as a vacation food photographer. The plates vanished so quickly that I couldn't even get a proper photo, and now I can't remember what anyone ordered. It had already been spiritually consumed and physically erased from our plates. And then, just when we thought the night had peaked, Montréal said: "hold my espresso martini!" As we were leaving, we witnessed one final moment that sealed the experience. We witnessed a waiter sprinting down the sidewalk in a full-speed Olympic-level pursuit of a diner who had left their sunglasses behind. Did he catch them? No. Did it matter? Also no. The commitment alone deserved a standing ovation and possibly its own medal ceremony. The effort, determination, and Olympic-level commitment to customer service did not go unnoticed. Highly recommend. 10/10 Tres bon!

The pita was warm, soft, lightly grilled, and perfect with the creamy, garlicky tzatziki. Simple, fresh, and exactly what you want from a Greek restaurant. Great place for a casual lunch or dinner, especially if you want something flavorful but not overly heavy. Would happily come back next time we're in Montreal.

Started off with hand cut fresh breaded Calamari with a seafood sauce.

Good grill marks, melt in your mouth and excellent flavor. This was the most expensive thing on the menu. Great Value.

Newest restaurant that was preceded by Regal and Kavala, we decided to give Gyro Grill a chance. We…read moredid not get our hopes up as Regal and Kavala were not the best of places. Boy were we wrong! This is an authentic greek restaurant, with authentic greek cooks and cuisine. The look of the restaurant blew us away (especially compared to the previous places). The good: Great restaurant look (the paint and decor makes it look bigger). The welcome at the door by the manager was great. Speaking of her (co-owner by the way), she is what a manager should be, which is greeting people, helping staff, goes around to look if you are satisfied or need anything. Food is TERRIFIC! Everything is fresh, and you can taste the freshness. They have their own poke bowl (pork or chicken, no fish). Tzatziki sauce is to die for, best l ever had! Lots of flavours in the food. Great service. Pretty good portion sizes. Strange enough that l notice, but they have a coat rack to hang your coats. Also it seems the bathrooms are clean and they got rid of the "Regal Smell". They let my wife order off the kids menu (and that is way before she mentioned she had a surgery that limits her eating and portion sizes). They just want you to be happy. Oh and huge size cake, they brought us four forks (being a group of four). The bad: You could be waiting for a while before you receive your plate (everything is cooked from fresh, no precook or freeze, so that's normal). There is no English menu (but we were told they are coming). In the end, what a GREAT discovery! We will definitely go back.

After a long day of sightseeing, we were in the mood for something light--wine, nibbles, and an…read moreearly bedtime. We walked over hoping to grab taziki and hummus, but learned they don't serve hummus (not actually a Greek food, apparently). Fair enough. We got the taziki at least. We also opted for an eggplant dish and some sausage for a bit of protein, but the wait was too long for a sit-down meal, so we ordered to go. The waiting area was packed, and we noticed the delicious-looking sangrias on nearly every table in the dining room. On a whim, we asked if they did sangrias to go--the answer was a firm no--but they offered us a standing area near the bar in the back where we could enjoy drinks while waiting for our order. Sold. The back room was warm and inviting, with drinks displayed on stairs built into the walls that doubled as shelves behind the bar. There were cozy high seats as well, making it a perfect spot to settle in. The sangria was absolutely delicious, with spiced notes that transported me back to last summer in Andalusia. It made the wait fly by. We grabbed our food and left happy, but I'd love to come back for a proper sit-down meal. We're in town for two more days, so I'm hoping to make it happen before we leave. This was a delicious little introduction, and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Unfortunately we devoured the food before I thought about getting photos.

This newly opened authentic Greek restaurant and plans to offer menu items with the textures and…read moreflavours you find in Greece and its Islands themselves. The decor is spot on Mediterranean, with their white washed wood wall, blue and sand coloured cushioned chairs, and light wood finished table tops. Their logo matches the theme of Greek history and lore too; based on the legend of Minos. I'll need to do further study on that before divulging any secrets of Zeus' family tree. With an experienced Chef, Montreal food influencer Niko Atsaidis, other dedicated management and enthusiastic staff, I have high hopes for this pristinely new spot. I mean it - their washrooms are super clean too and that's rarely the case at any restaurant. The kitchen is open and also spotlessly clean. Moreover, the ventilation is fabulous and pumps out great air flow. From how hard they've been working pre-opening, this should be an exciting addition to the quick-serve food scene in Montreal and maker of happy stomachs. The light Greek music was also a nice touch adding to the welcoming group of owners and staff behind the main counter. Now surely I was hungry from a long day, but I must say their poutine had a great scent and was truly devourable. I was still full from it and the side of hefty and peppery Loukaniko sausage, until late into the evening. They also have proper and perfectly marinated and seasoned souvlaki and gyro which are their staple dishes as their name makes clear. Their tzatziki is thicker than most (more traditional I believe) and filled with lots of tasty green bits of veggies, and happily not the ruin-your-breath-for-days garlicy or repeat-on-you-for-hours type. Their banner-style chalkboard menu is very well drawn out and focused. What they do, they want to do right, and I respect that greatly. Too many restaurants have super lengthy menus - and they can't do everything well, no matter how hard they try. Minos wants to concentrate on things they can create in-house and source with high quality. Their Greek imported olive oil is a big time standout and according to the 'chalk talk' note on the board - beer and wine are on their way. Rumour has it they will be Greek imports - so bravo on that upcoming addition. I look forward to trying other items, especially the veggie ones and honey drizzled dessert. Good luck Minos - show 'em how it's done! PS I will mention the fries are not hand cut and the cheese curds are not the squeakiest - at least at the time of opening and not five stars, but the brown sauce, Loukaniko, olive oil, decor and service are all worthy of the five, I will leave it as such.
