Orexi Estiatorio

This Greek restaurant in Old Montreal brings Aegean dining to rue Saint-Nicolas with an emphasis on the grill and whole grilled fish. The menu reads like a tour of traditional mezze: fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki, Greek spreads with grilled pita, saganaki flambéed with ouzo, moussaka croquettes, grilled octopus with fava purée.

Mains focus on seafood at market price—fresh oysters, Mediterranean sea bream, sea bass, red snapper—plus lamb chops with Greek herbs, kleftiko with roasted lamb and vegetables, Ora King salmon, giant shrimp with garlic and Metaxa. Desserts include baklava, loukoumades with honey and Nutella, Greek yogurt trio. The tagline promises refined Mediterranean gastronomy capturing the essence of Greece.
