This is a very pleasant surprise, we ordered 3 dishes from the appetizer menu - spanakopitakia (spinach and feta cheese in phylo), calamari, and gyro (shredded lamb and pork)
For the spanakopitakia, I didn't really taste the feta cheese in them, and there's a distinct taste like some kind of herb that was a little strong for my taste. I've had better ones in Calgary.
Calamari was great! Batter was crunchy yet not too hard, and calamari was soft yet not mushy. The sauce was sweet and spicy, it was too spicy for me but I still had some coz it was very good.
Gyro was good too, even though they were just shreds but they still tasted really good with the herbs that they put in.
It was well worth the money, the portions were really big!
One thing though - the calamari and gyro were quite greasy. We had to absorb some of the oil with our napkins to eat the last bits on the plate!Listed in: Montreal

I went on a Sunday evening with a friend and they must have been busy because we waited about an hour for our food. Regardless, it came out hot and fresh. I had the chicken stick platter and it was good! Well spiced and an ample amount! The price is comparable to other Greek restaurants in the city. I would definitely go back!

This is hands down my favorite restaurant on the face of the planet (and I eat out 5 days a week). I used to live in Montreal and whenever I go home for a visit, I try and eat it daily. It's that good! I never get sick of the chicken gyro platter, it's out of this world. The food is consistently good, the service is always quick and friendly and delivery is also quick. The prices are beyond reasonable and the food is fantastic... I recommend this place to every person I meet. Marathon, Souvlaki George and other Montreal eateries, don't even compare to Estiatorio Yiasou! You will not be disappointed!

Ordered twice and been once
The meat is pretty good, the tzaziki is extremely salty but nice.
The salad has massive chunks- like tomatoes cut in four- but is generous quality.
Avoid spanikopita, feels like you could do better at costco.
The first time I ordered they took forever, the second time they forgot something and got it to me 20 minutes after everything, ice cold.
Its not bad and I might go again buts its not the best. -

A few blocks away from Metro Snowdon lies a Greek respite. Yiasou is a Greek grill specializing in all things we love like stuffed grape leaves, lamb dishes and the bounty of fish.
The place is expansive, with terrace and loads of seating, a wide bar with flat screen tv's and scores of servers.
The food itself is mouth watering. They have a mezze platter of all kinds starters that is amazing. The grilled halibut is moist and delicious. The labmb chops tender and well-seasoned. I have yet to have dessert here but im sure it will be good. The only thing so far that has straddled the line between great and mediocre has been the overly charred overly salted lemony chicken.
I love charcoal lemon and salt, but there needs to be something else going on there for it to get me jumping all crazy like.
The service is consistent, and if you get the occasional lip from a server it is more because a few are still in their teens. Just pretend it's your younger cousin from the old country and have an ouzo.
UPDATE: we just came back from dinner (november 10th) and the mezze platter has been enlarged with two new tasty dips. i won't even pretend to try and phonetically butcher the greek words for these dips, but one of them is made with peppers and the other with walnut and eggplant. these are welcome and worthy additions. the service is still great, and they deserve a lot of credit for refining and improving an already great menu.
and for all you snobby plateau types: snowdon is like, twenty minutes subway ride from lionel groulx metro-- so make the trip, and walk the two blocks. this is by far one of the best greek restaurants you'll find in the city. there, i said it. -

The decor, the staff, the Greek music, the food and the desserts are excellent! I am a regular at this place because of all that. Nothing more to say except try the Key Lime Pie and the Galakto Bouriko desserts! N

Consistently great greek food in a fun atmosphere. Great service. Grew up less than a mile from here, and am a student of the souvlaki. For reference, villa de souvlaki on Sherbrook is a favorite. Great tzaziki (tingly!) well balanced souvlaki, crunchy tasty calamari, a bar and a terrace. Enjoy!
