Review from Curriedrice E.
6/5/2010
Great food, nice people, very personal staff - this is the key, its all personal. This is definitely a family Greek restaurant.
I had the grilled Tunisian octopus, grilled Greek sausage at the bar with an glass of wine.
The octopus was grilled to perfection! I was slightly crisp on the outside and gave it a slightly smokey flavor, not overdone, very tender.
The grilled Greek sausage was excellent! Salty, nicely seasoned and the were texture elements to it.
To me, anyone can learn to grill meats or fish, it takes talent to make sauces or braise. I didn't really see too much in this area. This is why I give it 4 stars. -

This is a Greek restaurant with a complete menu of seafood. It resembles Milos (food wise) a bit.
The first thing one notices when you open the menu is that it's extensive, nicely balanced but the prices are pretty steep. Then you look at the description of the dishes and it's mostly seafood or other expensive ingredients such as lamb chops. So you think, well if it's prepared masterfully by a chef it would be fair pricing. Although the 130$ fisherman's platter for one was still a shocker.
Then you look at the wine list and the prices are simply ridiculous.
We started out with a typical Greek salad and some saganaki. Both were ok but just seemed thrown together quickly.
When we ordered our plate a couple of us asked to substitute rice for fries or salad. We were told no substitutions were allowed. I can understand such a policy at McDonalds but not when one is paying 40$ or 50$ for a plate.
The plates we ordered (tuna sushi style, fried calamari, baked fish, lamb chops) were all good but none were special. Again the feeling was that it was thrown together quickly by a decent cook but not a chef. The quality of the ingredients varied from acceptable (tuna) to excellent (vegetables). The quantity of the food was good but not overflowing (which could justify the $$).
The service is informal and attentive. It's a large place (seats over 100) and nicely decorated. When we were there on a Friday night it was about half full. Bathrooms are small (one stall was out of order) and not very clean which to me is a big no no in a fine restaurant.
In my opinion, the value is just not there. It's sad because it's a complete seafood restaurant which there aren't many of in Montreal. If the food was prepared more masterfully and the service more professional they could justify most of their prices. Unfortunately it leaves the customer with the impression of being gouged. There are many other restaurants in Montreal offering fish or Greek food that is just as or tastier for significantly less money.
I would not go back.
p.s. This restaurant shares a parking lot with 3 or 4 other restaurants. On a Friday night it was impossible to find a spot on the lot. Parking on the street is far away and requires 5 to 10 min. walk back to the restaurant. -

if your looking for fresh fish, fantastic lamb chops, and absolutely decadent entrees look no further than Elounda. It's by far one of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal. If you love seafood prepared in the traditional Greek way you have to make a stop at Elounda.
