We ate here on Nov 9 for lunch . We got the souvlaki lunch . When it arrived it was luke warm at best...the rice and the gyro. It tasted fine but a cold food is not great which means it wasn't fresh. Now let's hope we won't get sick from it .
Overpriced and not accommodating. While I’m sure not everyone has an unpleasant experience at this restaurant, I was very disappointed that they were unwilling to makeup for what happened. $18 plus tip for a Greek salad without cheese but they didn’t even put on olives and I was a guest for only about ten minutes. I joined a group late just as everyone was done their food and the plates were getting cleared away. I asked the server if I could have a small side salad to eat quickly as people were wrapping up, but was told there was only a full size Greek salad. I made the mistake of ordering it, and got it just as everyone was getting their bills. I requested no cheese, so it was literally just lettuce and a few veggies with dressing on the side. I thought maybe since I was only dining for a few minutes, they’d be accommodating could serve and charge me for a side salad. I only had a few bites before I was given my check as everyone was leaving and I took the rest to go. I didn’t realize until I got home that the Greek salad was missing the olives. I paid all that money to dine for a few minutes and not even get a true Greek salad. I called the restaurant to see if they could give me a small gift certificate to come back, but I was told they could remake the salad but I’d have to come back the same day. I’m a mum of a baby without any more benefits. I can’t just come back into town to get the food, and I didn’t have the money to waste on something like this.
What an excellent meal! We were a large group of 9 and arrived without reservation around 6:45pm and they were more than happy to accommodate - even though we stayed past closing time. The food was absolutely delicious and the service could not have been more excellent (especially as we were a demanding table!) A huge thank you to Hannah who served us always with a smile and was extremely efficient and quick with our requests. She did a superb job. Thank you for a lovely evening!
Nice cozy restaurant in Niagara on the lake with yummy food. The staff are friendly. We ordered salad, cheese, wraps and grilled octopus.
I work in NOTL and the dining can be challenging, with it geared more towards tourists. Things can quickly get expensive. While this menu is still pricey, I was pleased with my eggplant dish. It was simple but very nice and I would eat it again while killing time before catching a show.
Food not realy good...chicken skiwers bad guality..from congélation to grill...the dish is empty...they count the bread...place where we eat u feel u r in the street...hope it will be better for such à Nice touristic area ...very expensive comparing with guality...
Very good meats and salads in a fun atmosphere. We enjoyed the patio on a beautiful day!
It was a nice place, a very kind and warming service by the waiter and the best was the food, it was delicious 🤤 👌🏼, fast service, and we even got 2 free desserts as an apology, because the waiter had forgotten an octopus entree, everything was so so good. 💯% Recommended!!!👌🏼🤤🥰
Went there with my family, they charged my credit card twice! I have called them several times and they keep telling me the funds will be refunded but it has not happened. It has been almost 6 months. Managers refuse to talk to me directly, just tell their staff to tell me the issue will be resolved.
What a great place to be!!!
Nice little patio, good service and tasty food. Loved the saganaki!
Overpriced food, service is so so, I order a drink didn t receive it and they charge it
This is always the restaurant I took my company too while they visited Niagara. I had a party of 8 and went to stand in line to ask if they could accommodate a party of this size. Mind you it was 4pm so it was not busy at all. I stood outside for 10 minutes while employees walked past me on multiple occasions. After 10 minutes a couple came up and stood behind me to wait. The hostess came over immediately when she saw them. She came up to the hostess table, looks behind be and asks them for how many. The gentlemen pointed to me and says she was here first. She looks at me and continues speaking with the couple and asks them to follow her. She leaves to go seat them while leaving me standing there, not acknowledging me whatsoever. After getting over the shock of what had just happened, I promptly left. I called the restaurant about 10 min later to express what had just happened. The same hostess answered the phone and stated oh sorry I thought you were together . She saw me standing the alone for 10 min, and didn t bother to speak to me. She physically went out of her way to look behind me and speak to the other couple. She took just enough menus for them and left me standing there however, she thought we were together . I took my party to George s greek village, much better experience.
Excellent food and service! Lovely patio and authentic Greek cuisine!
Great food, our server recommended roast lamb and octopus and it was excellent! Thank you Zay for the great service! We ll be back
Amazing food, and staff.
The food was decent and the service was very good. However, as we were leaving, a mouse ran across the dining room. When I pointed it out, the server said, Oh, I ve been looking for that and picked it up with a napkin. Ewwwwww.
Authentic Greek!!!
Good food on a quiet patio. Good service too! Will return again
Very disappointed , last year we were here and that is one reason why we came back but it was never the same at all. The serving was so small which was unusual for a greek restaurant. The service was terrible our tables were wet and we asked if it could be wiped up for us the server was very sarcastic she was a young lady and she repeatedly asked us if it was good enough for us .?? Unnecessary really. Our bill was $400 for the 6 of us and with this kind of service I don t think we will go back here. NEVER !!! BTW we did not order wine or special cocktail water with lemon is what we settled for. We still gave a tip because Ethan our other server took care of us. What a waste of time .
If I could give this rating no stars, I would. I was in NOTL this past weekend with a party of 10 and attended at Fournos as part of a Pedal Pub stop. Included in our package was a first round of drinks - it did not include food. We were served wine (if you could call it that) in short water glasses, some of which were dirty. The young male server on the patio looked like he could care less to be there. While we were looking over the menus to order food and more drinks, we observed the owner of the restaurant, a grown man, making a scene in the parking lot and yelling at the gentleman running the Pedal Pub. It was absolutely disgusting to see that kind of behaviour from the owner of the restaurant. Instead of ordering and giving them our business, we decided to eat somewhere else. Before I left I asked another server to speak with the owner, but he was no where to be seen. I will not be returning to this restaurant and will not recommend it to anyone that asks about my experience.
Tasty Greek food and an great service . However most of the dishes are overpriced ...I loved this restaurant but is too expensive now. Food
Delicious food, nice quiet patio area off the main area. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff.
We had a great time in this restaurant, we took advantage of the outdoor terrace which is very pleasant. The dishes are plentiful and good The servers are very friendly.
Fantastic food on a beautiful patio!
I love Greek food...& was very pleased with the great food & friendly help
Great food and service
We couldnt have found a better place to enjoy our day at NOTL...food and drinks were amazing!
Food was amazing! The appetizers are a must try! Service was very attentive
Food is good, prices are good, but basement is dark.
Great food, great stuff. Youll enjoy a great meal there.
Everything was fine in the beginning. We got served our drinks alright, and we had ordered mainly to eat on location, only to realize we ran out of time to park in one of the parking lots in Niagara on the Lake. We told our servers the situation and they told us that they would hold a certain parking spot for us because we had already become customers of theirs. When one of us brought our vehicle there, they decided to give someone else the parking spot that they SAID THEY WOULD HOLD FOR US. Now Im not sure if its because we are colored and the person they let park is white, but they blew us off when we complained and stated our case. Not to mention, the food is basically the same as Jimmy the Greek, but with a higher price tag. Atmosphere is alright, but there are too many downsides to this place, especially the racist employees there. Will not be returning.
Good quality food.
Very poor quality food and poor service as well. What a shame, for such an amazing location and place, the food should be much better than this. I would not recommend this place at all and we definitely wont be back.
Nice Greek restaurant, fresh, delicious food. We ate dishes from the Greek part of the menu, all very good! The service was quick and friendly.
Really, really bad food. Go to an Osmow s. It s far better than this. The sangria has no wine. The souvlaki is one sad skewer of tough chicken. Their only salvation is their rice.
The village salad was lovely! Great flavors. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Hannah was an amazing server and the food was fresh and delicious. We ordered the big smoked burger & a grilled veggie wrap.
We had a great lunch on the patio space on a glorious sunny day ! My friend who had the papoutsakia was very happy ! However I was craving kalamarakia , fried squids and unfortunately they looked and tasted a day old . Not fresh at all. Very disappointed. I am giving it 4 instead of one star because my other 3 friends had a better experience and we loved our Czech kind and caring waitress
Dont charge a credit card fee, thats shameful. Respect your clients.
Expensive , not tasty, staying outdoor is poorly furnished and decorated.
Dietary restrictions: Lactose free and celiac conditions; all was excellently prepared, served and enjoyed. Food
Great food. Great service. Would come again.
Lovely patio. Good food, good prices, great staff. Food
Excellent food, awesome customer service, and atmosphere.
Don t be turned away by the stairs or old bar decor. This was some of the best Greek I ve ever had, and by far the best tzatziki! You can tell that most of the food, if not all, is homemade. It was a slow day, probably only two other tables in the restaurant but I was blown away by the food and the service. Our waitress was lovely! Our cups never emptied and she made sure to bring our mains out as soon as our app was gone. We will be back anytime we re in the area.
Excellent casual restaurant. The food was great and their were non dairy options. Check out their patio. Dietary restrictions: They cook in oil so dairy free was not an problem. I had the souvlaki dinner without tzatziki sauce.
Very good Greek cuisine, I highly recommend it. And very good prices
Great Greek food. We sat on the patio. Excellent dining experience.
Amazing place!!! A must go! Amazing server and amazing food! Food
Had a really great lunch here with family while visiting NOTL. Will definitely be back next time I m in town! I recommend the gyro (beef & lamb) plate.
Great Service. I would think the food came from heaven. Absolutely delicious.
Incredible food and friendly staff. Great portions! Is now my goto spot for Greek food.
This place has a great atmosphere, kind staff, and amazing food. If you re looking for a great and refreshing restaurant, this is the place
Delicious and super fresh, and clearly all homemade!
This place is a joke. Its jus ridiculous. I have no words
Amazing people. Nice food and very lovely Vibe. Id go there again :)
Everything was perfect and I enjoyed the lunch.
I visited Fournis last year, experience was awesome. Food was actually great. Its a Greek restaurant . Tried skewered pork, saganaki, loin lamb chops. All the items were great in taste . They use their special rice thats flavour is awesome. Always a recommendation. Its in the basement, so need to use stairs . Not wheel chair friendly. But during summer they have a outside patio. That is wheel chair friendly as its on road level. Parking: Public parking roadside parking Kid-friendliness: They are ok with kids. Wheelchair accessibility: Little issue during winter as seating area is in basement, during summer patio is available.
With no other choice, because everything was closed, we opted for this Greek tavern. The (Croatian) staff is friendly but the place is in a basement so dark and cramped. The menu is more or less the classic Greek one; pita gyros without infamy or praise (albeit heavy, in the version with lamb) and fries that were not good at all. Prices average for the area, therefore expensive.
Despite the clear indication, there was no indoors dining. We placed our order only to find out 15 min later that it had been lost. We placed it again, 10 min later the waiter told us that they had run out one of the plates. We changed the order, another 15 min passed. We had to speak to the supervisor to get food on our plates, as everyone that had arrived after us had already been served. Chicken was surely frozen, it was chewy. As if this wasn t enough, when we paid, the waiter threw the receipt to the table. No apologies for the delays, no courtesy bread, nothing. Worst dining experience ever.
We loved our delicious meal outdoor in the patio even though it was raining. Our server Zay was very kind and knowledgeable about the food. Everything was wonderful and would absolutely eat here again.
Best food so far we had in Niagara on the Lake. The waitress Stanka was very welcoming and very friendly. Greek music was adding nice touch to the atmosphere. Definitely well be back again. 5 stars all around
Such a delicious chicken souvlaki. The chicken, rice, potatoes and veggies were absolutely perfect. Stanka was probably the nicest person my girlfriend and I have met while being in Niagara on the lake during the past 4 days. She was so genuinely nice and accommodating. I hope we get to see her again next time we visit. Thanks Stanka for the excellent service, youre so sweet!!
First Impression of this restaurant was that it was very old and dungeon like, but the patio was open so I didn t have to dine inside. The menu looked good and I was expecting authentic Greek. My boyfriend and I were extremely disappointed. I ordered spanakopita and received something and I could ve bought in the frozen section of the grocery store! The salad was average and the dressing was very heavy. My boyfriend s wrap was filled with too much sauce and dressing. Very average restaurant with non authentic Greek food.
Food was wonderful, with a lovely environment! The wait time for food and portion size for what it cost was a bit disappointing though. I enjoyed my time but might not come back for another. Staff was very friendly!
Excellent.
Very tasty food! Very professional staff! The price and quality are OK
Beware: They will add a 15% tip to your bill. Food & Service was excellent, as was the ambience. I paid my bill and added 18% gratuity, only to get home and realize the restaurant had already added 15% gratuity to my bill without me realizing it. Needless to say, it was my fault for not paying better attention but I was quite disappointed by this tactic and the fact that the server did not bring it to my attention. Parking: Parking is in the back Kid-friendliness: Happy they had a highchair.
Amazing place, delicious food and the vibe sent me back to Greece. I highly recommend this place!! Food : 5/5
This was the second time my boyfriend and I have dined here since our first trip to Niagara on the Lake and we will definitely be coming back. The food was really delicious and tasty. My boyfriend loves the ocotpus here and I enjoy their souvlaki. The service was amazing. Our server came back to check on us every so often and made sure we were taken care of. It was a bit of a wait but well worth it. We are looking forward to our next visit :)
Lunch in Niagara-on-the-Lake. My picky husband expanded his palette we ate at an old world style Greek restaurant. The owner is 78 and still cooks most of the food. The lemon chicken soup is heavenly. We both loved it. A real treat.
So good we came twice during our three day stay!
We have been a frequent patrons at this restaurant until before pandemic. Yesterday was a first time in 3 years we have visited Furnos. What a disappointment, the food was terrible, service non attentive, very rushed atmosphere. As for authentic Greek food, this was perhaps Canadian version of it. My wife is Greek and she said the food was unacceptable and flavorless. We have been very thirsty for about 12 hours afterward which usually indicates some large amounts of preservatives added to the food. Prices have increased and servings have been reduced in size. Certainly it was our last time in this establishment.
very good hamburger and service!
Must go ! Food is delicious and best part is the people who runs this place are so warm n kind ... always a beautiful experience for me and my family and friends
Worst experience ever. I went there with my family and we were served us the byreka Spanakopita that you buy in Costco. What the hell? and they charged $48 for a dish. NEVER, EVER going there again
Delicious food! Exactly like in Athens. Authentic atmosphere. Highly recommend! And btw, they have FREE parking ;) Food
Lemon soup was one of best that I ever had. Roast lamb indeed melted in mouth. A nice evening on the patio.
I went around last month (when all the patios were still open). I really thought it would be one of those stingy restaurants where its overpriced for the servings. However, I was wrong. The food was great and worth the bucks. They really take care of how it tastes. Staff were very helpful and very accommodating. Will come back again!
Very good, authentic Greek food
$33 for a over cooked piece of salmon Worst Greek salad with just shavings of feta, waiting so long for food. Food
Food was generic at best. Rice was over seasoned and pork souvlkai was bland. Insane upcharge for extra feta on fries. Would not dine again.
One star because they added $5 to my bill for paying with a credit card. There was no prior notification of the charge. There were no signs in the restaurant. I just happen to notice that it on the payment terminal. The server said it was a management decision to code the payment terminal that way with no notification to the customer. Plus, we were charged an extra $5 just to add feta to some fries. I have visited this restaurant when in the area before and I will not be returning because of the deceptive methods.
We have been coming to Niagara on the Lake for the last 4 years and Fournos is always the place we eat at at least once or twice. We like the outdoor patios, usually the smaller one located between two buildings as it feels more cozy and like the mom and pops restaurants you find in the small alleys in Greece. The service is always good, Zoe was our server twice this week and she was fantastic. We never had anything to eat there that we did not like. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit.
Lovely relaxed patio off the main drag! Excellent food and service! We will be back for sure!!! Food
Gyro pita for lunch
Im so not happy with the service and also in the end, our Bill was $177 but when they brought the machine for credit card, they put 3 different amounts which was $177, $187 and $182. Id never seen such a machine to add another two amounts. So I thought it includes tip and when I clicked on $187 it led me to another page for tip and again I put 15%. Anyways I ended up paying $210. It was $33 tip. But because I was with friends I didnt wanna discuss it with them, but it doesnt stop me for leaving a review. I just asked, so what was the first step and she replied, thats the credit card process. I was confused, coz Ive never seen this kinda process to enter two other amounts. Ill never go back for sure! This is a rip off!
Perfect place for lunch in picturesque Niagra-on-the-Lake! Authentic taste, good size portions and super friendly service, it gets busy but doesn t ruin the atmosphere. Try to local wine!
We dined here 10/8/23. Just by chance as we love Greek food. It was superb as good as any in Greece. Very tasty, good menu. Fairly priced. Staff very attentive despite being busy. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
Amazing service and the waitress that served me was so friendly
Great atmosphere on the patio! The washrooms were a little out of the way but it was still a nice location. The spankopita was delightful and the pasta was great.
I love Greek food and am always looking for an excuse to find a new Greek place. Im from Arizona and found myself in this amazing little town while visiting Niagara falls. We had moussaka, gyros, and the lamb plate after an appetizer of saganaki. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend this place.
The lemon soup is amazing! The outside patio is very nice.
I would possibly rate it negative if there was an option. Horrible is an understatement. I went there with my fiancé. They had insects in their sauce and the host smirked and justified to expect that by the weather. They had insect at the outskirts of the bottle visible for any one to see, we requested for replacement, the second bottle also had insects. They repetitively smirked and justified that it is acceptable to have insects. No apology was given to us. Hygiene level is extremely questionable. Stay safe and avoid.
Very nice greek food. We had the roasted lamb, dancing shrimps and the musaka and they were so good. They were sitting outside this evening but it was a pleasant day. The sangria was also good.
The food was delicious and plentiful. Hannah was our waitress and she was fantastic. We look for Greek restaurants everywhere we go, and we highly recommend this place.
The owner is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. The menu had great options and everything was top tier. I had a side salad and the salmon Gorgonzola, would eat again and recommend to a friend.
I highly recommend this restaurant! The food experience was worth it, and the staff were the best Food
You have to go down a flight of stairs to get to the restaurant. We had mousaka, gyrus and lamb that we shared among ourselves to have a taste of each meal. They all tasted fresh and delicious. The server would also check occasionally how the food was and to fill our glass. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience Parking: Parking is limited. It is free for the Fournos diners. Otherwise, it is a paid parking.
First time dining at Fournos. We had the feta and olive platter, chicken souvalaki, greek salad etc. We come to Niagara on the Lake often so we will DEFINITELY be returning! Absolutely delicious! Genuine, traditional Greek cuisine! Generous portions and very friendly host!
Wonderful food and service!
amazing service freat place. Jom is the best!
This is an amazing restaurant ..visited with my family the food was amazing and fresh best rice I ever had and the service was exceptional I can t wait to visit again 10/10
My family and I loved this place! All of our food was great, even as a picky eater. The owner? or waiter that helped us was very kind. It s a cute little place with great prices and food and definitely worth a try!
Fantastic food!
This is the greatest experience Ive had with Greek food! From the atmosphere to the food all spectacular.The owner Tom is terrific and hes so welcoming, felt like we were family. I would definitely recommend getting the saganaki, was delicious!!!
We had the saganaki and the Greek wrap with gyro. The saganaki was absolutely perfect and the gyro in the wrap was succulent, and full of flavour. Definitely our new favourite place! The service was also very good. Tom was very attentive.
The Greek salads were delicious! Really expensive for what it is, and atmosphere is less fancy than the other restaurants nearby at a similar price.
An unplanned day out with the family. Our stomachs complaining that they needed some attention. Our hunt for food influenced by one of the local shop owners. Delivered us to Fournos. Family ordered Calamari for the appetizer. Suggest one order of Calamari for 2 people. AAA Steak for me. Octopus for the Mrs. Chicken Souvlaki, and Spicy Mediterranean Pasta. For the younger ones All meals cooked to perfection. A bit of friendly banter with our server Dave. As a person that normally does not do reviews. And when I do. They are usually negative so as to caution people about what they are about to experience, or to avoid. This gem is one of the few positive I just have to recommend. Did it matter that it was a day in the shoulder season for them? Or it was not a busy night? Perhaps. But I will be back.
Cant say enough good things. Service was fast and friendly (and they were very short staffed). Chicken souvlaki & calamari were cooked to perfection. Homemade dressing & tzaziki delicious. Will definitely be back. Worth the drive from Hamilton.
Waited more than an hour for our food to come, funny thing is they only brought 3/5 plates that we had to wait extra longer for. The waitress did not check up on us or apologize for the long wait. Will never come here again.
I had friends visiting from out of town and we wanted Greek food ( and a patio ) . We found this little gem - patio was closed- it was late April and a bit chilly , but inside was cute and welcoming . The food - chicken pita with Greek salad and their Greek flatbread was delicious!!!!the chicken was so tender and flavorful - loved it! Can t wait to sit on the back patio !
Good food and good service
Mediocre food, unreasonable prices, slow service.
If you are in Niagara on the Lake be sure to visit this fabulous Greek restaurant. The food is always delicious, Best authentic Greek restaurant anywhere. We come from Burlington often for a real treat. Prices are reasonable and the staff go out of their way to be sure you have a great experience. They could do with some renovations to have the image of the property live up to their food.
Excellent food, fast,and courteous service. Highly recommended.
Great food and service
The place is very nice, one part of the restaurant is outdoors and another part is down some stairs. The music is wonderful, it makes you feel like youre really on some Greek island. The food is delicious, the tzatziki is EXTRAORDINARY!!! I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! . Catherine, the girl in charge of our table was super nice, kind and friendly. We each ordered a coffee at the end and all three were delicious . Our only regret is that we no longer had room for dessert because there were some options that looked amazing. In short, the experience was very, very good !!!
Very nice place delicious food excellent service
The food was excellent, we had a few appetizers that they were all very good and the service was great
We sat for 10 min until someone came asked how were doing. The food was prepared early but didnt fell like fresh.
We loved our delicious (huge portions!) meal outdoor on the patio. Everything was wonderful and would absolutely eat here again.
Great food. Only the terrace was open for dining but awning extends over it. Parking: Free
Went for lunch with some friends, food was amazing and our server was so kind and prompt. The host was a young boy who was pretty awkward and didn t seem to know how to do his job too well. He may not be a great fit for the job but everyone starts somewhere I suppose.
Website says open until 8pm. Called at 7:30 and they said they were closed.
Delicious lunch spot in NOTL. Really quick service and the food was incredible. Fresh soft bread, delicious skewers, rice with flavour! So great. Will definitely be back and with friends! Our new go to spot in NOTL.
i recommend not coming here, because me and my family called 30 minutes before going and the waiter was being disrespectful and rude towards my family
the roast lamb was awful.
Great food, we mixed and matched a couple of tasty starters and were really pleased. Friendly staff and great food, make sure to stop by.
Absolutely stunningly fresh and tasty food. Definitely great for weddings and parties. Beautiful decor. Comfortable seating. Well done flowers. Parking: Parking lot beside the restaurant
Being in Niagara On The Lake, a tourist town, Fournos serves good enough Greek food and at a fair price. The service was adequate and prompt. The outdoor seating area was comfortable.
Great Greek food! Great service! Highly recommended!
Authentic food, friendly staff and good traditional music! Lovely patio with free parking for customers.
We got told their kitchen was backed up for 30 mins so they are not taking any seats or letting anyone in. So we stood off a bit, trying to look for alternatives. While waiting, they somehow let the party that came after us in as one table cleared. What gives? This place is run by amateurs. Avoid.
Very nice staff and awesome food!
Great large portions and fresh food
Excellent food, friendly staff, quaint ambianxe
A bit pricey compared to most restaurants of the same caliber but great flavours. The amount of money per dish could reflect the portion size.
best Greek food in Niagara region. consistent and never disappoints. We love the lamb and octopus dinners. we will definitely eat her next time we visit NOTL.
Good is so yummy
Found this place by accident. Had a great lunch here on Greek Independence Day today. The patio was nice with lots of space. We had the saganaki, the app platter, Village salad and Thalia wine. The waiter was great (son-in-law of the owner) with his service. We weren t rushed. I would happily return.
Wonderful experience! The owner was so charming and so social with all the guests! Delicious and authentic food, cannot wait to go again when we visit! We were visiting from toronto and def will be back!
The food was amazing, all dishes authentic and and fresh with great texture. Customer service was awesome, Tom Stavropoulo is the man who served us as well as the owner of the resturant. Fast preparation of food and even faster delivery. If I come back to Niagra on the Lake this is the first place Im gonna visit! I highly recommend this place for anyone that is trying to spice up their day!
Excellent food!Service is amazing. Will come back again.
The food is very good and the shaded back patio is pleasent in the summer. Try the fried cheese (Saganaki) or pitas and dips for an appetizer and the chicken souvaki entree. Service is excellent.
Great chicken souvlaki
The service is good but took forever 40 minutes to order and another 35 minutes to get the bill (before even actually paying) .
The food was okay. The wait was insane. We waited 25 mins to order then another hour for the food. We even waited 20 mins for our bills then another 10 to pay. We wont come again thats for sure. Its frustrating when you have to wait so long. Its really not worth it. Go somewhere else if you want Greek food.
Food was good, but server decided to give us a lecture for not letting him know in advance that we want separate bills.
Fantastic food, and reasonably priced. Will come back here again.
Visited this restarant with friends and had a lovely lunch on one of their 2 outdoor patios. Food was excellent, service superb!
Went there on a Monday, the food was very low quality. Our waitress definitely did not have the most hygienic attire which made was disappointing, especially during Covid times. Wouldn t recommend it and would not go back.
Always a good experience. Service and food 5 stars:)
Our server was a full time Brock university student, and she was amazing.
Great food, friendly service
The staff is horrible, untrained and inconsiderate. Somewhat racist. They pick people from the crowd depending on whom they wanna pick. And not by the order of waiting list.And if you complain, they are not even apologetic about it. Let s not talk of the food when the experience is so disturbing. If you are not Greek or white, don t even waste time standing in a line.
The lady in the front was RACIST as I waited 20 minutes for a table but guess what she choose a group of people who were speaking the same language as her really poor . In today s world you do not expect this behaviour but it is what they did. Manager came later when i asked for one and said she dint see you guys I was literally standing there for 20 minutes in line in front of the restaurant. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED
Wonderful salads
If you have a service animal you are not welcome at this and other establishments at Niagara on the lake. My wife service dog and I asked to be seated on the patio and we were told that all dogs are not welcome. We tried to explain that by law they have to serve us. The owner refused us and to be honest I really did not want to eat there after a disagreement with them. I hope they get reported and fined for this.
We had a good meal. We felt the service could ve been a bit better. Hence the 4 It can feel slightly pricey for the salads, but cost of stuff has gone up anyway! However, at least the food was good and fresh.
We noticed how crowded the patio was here for dinner when we arrived in NOTL and came in the next day and it was SO GOOD! Our server was Dave and he was an absolute beauty. So knowledgeable about the area and was awesome about explaining the the food and how its traditionally done in Greece. Our food was one of the best meals we had on our trip in Niagara and we 100% are recommending it to our friends and family should they come out here. Great experience!
Best Greek food in Niagara Region
Amazing food and great beer
Went for a late lunch. Was seated right away, drinks came promptly, server took our order quickly and was very friendly food took a while to arrive considering it wasn t busy chicken skewer was nice but tzaziki and Greek dressing were definitely not fresh- definitely bottled, rice was super salty food was meh.. mediocre at best. Would not return to this restaurant
We were served decent portions. The restaurant serves fish and chips and pasta besides Greek fare. They offer alcohol free beer which was a great option for the designated driver. The only suggestion I would have is to serve roasted potatoes instead of thick cut fries with feta.
We waited in line this afternoon for an hour, only to be told they were no longer seating tables for 1-2 hours because the kitchen was too busy. Yikes. Maybe you should have cut off the line instead of letting your guests stand there so long only to be turned away. It s a shame because the menu looks delicious! Maybe I ll re-write this review when I m not so hangry ;)
I m not one to write a bad review for small businesses, especially restaurants. But after yesterday s experience, this has to be mentioned. My group of 10 friends made an order for chicken souvlaki and gyro dinners after a long day on Niagara on the Lake at around 6 pm-6:15 pm. We show up at Fornos at around 6:55 pm, waiting to accept our order and pay for our meals. Here s where it goes downhill. The food was not ready when we arrived, and we waited for an extra 35 minutes. During the wait, The host brought out 10 separate bills with 15% gratuity on top of the order, management insisted that their system could not get rid of the 15% gratuity from the bill. Why must they make it mandatory for my group to tip your establishment for ordering take out food and receiving our order 35 minutes after the food was supposed to be ready? Staff kept getting the order wrong and were very unprofessional about the situation in front of a restaurant full of customers. Once we resolved the bill and order issues, we began eating our meals after a long day; we opened up our take-out to cold and subpar quality dinners. We paid $25 plus HST for one scoop of rice, one potato cut in half, and a skewer of chicken for the chicken souvlaki dinners and a scoop of Gyro for the gyro dinners. That is completely unacceptable. After everything that happened, My group was very unimpressed and felt we were treated very poorly and unappreciated for choosing to order take-out at Fornos. We understood it was a full house yesterday and you were at capacity, but one bad experience like this causes someone like myself to make their first bad review. Please do better.
Love the food a lot. We ordered ahead for take out but the food was delayed ... so be ready to wait for the food a bit longer than the time you order it. Other than that ... Amazing and authentic Greek yumminess!
Have been going to this place for the past 3 years every time we are in Niagara on the lake we would go here , but for recently as of August 7th we went as usual only to know we had to pay for parking to eat at the restaurant which was unfair , they give us a parking ticket which says if you dine with them its free parking , when we asked the second person that seat us we were told you have to pay the parking , we would definitely be trying other places to eat with free parking , we used to really enjoy going here , I also have my receipt as proof that we did dine there, and your staff should be aware that parking should be waived because the person that seated us also said we have to pay it .
Food is fantastic! Loved the Flatbread. Lovely patio tucked away. And excellent service by Kristina
Make sure you get a table outside the real restaurant is in the basement...eat outside washrooms are in basement and there is no wheelchair access
To quote my wife: its SOOOOO CUTE Great food, friendly staff.
Delicious food
Lovely place for outdoor lunch and watching all the action. Quieter location around corner with roof. Enjoyed lemon chicken soup. Nice and hot with lots of chicken and just right amount of lemon. Had the gyro wrap with Greek salad. Generous portions. Lots of feta and very fresh salad ingredients. Home made dressing. Highly recommend their baklava. Presentation is photo worthy but I forgot my camera. Served warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yummy!! Nice size for sharing. Friendly staff. Thanks to Naomi and McKenna!
I ordered Moussaka Greek lasagna from the dinner menu and fell in love with it as soon as I took one bite.
Pet friendly patio, delicious greek cuisine and the Staff is great.
Berry yummers muttons but many many monies
Had a fabulous lunch here, moussaka and Greek salad. Will definitely be back!!
amazing food and service
Enjoyed an excellent meal here. The food was good; the service was friendly, courteous, and prompt. The rack of lamb was delightful. I highly recommend the establishment. It contributed to a wonderful time in NOTL.
This is the best restaurant for greek food. Im greek myself and the taste of the food made me feel like I was home eating. The wait staff is very friendly and the food comes out very quickly. Their grilled octopus is cooked perfect. Highly recommend this place.
Their lemon soup is delicious! Our favourite Greek restaurant in Niagara!
Just had a late lunch in patio. The table was wobbling and the chair was not clean, but the food was excellent.
Delicious!!! Appetizer trio is all hand made by owner. Local wine selection. Baclava is yummy
Delicious Greek food on a lovely patio
Have passed by Fournos many times but never ventured inside. The food and service were both excellent! Some of the negative reviews on here seem to be taking issue with petty stuff related to waiting in lines and gratuities. You re on vacation guy relax. Go to Fournos!
Great place to go for lunch,Dinner. Great food selection. Good service, friendly environment.
Very good
My favorite greek restaurant..I travel from Toronto just to go there...my fav is the Greek Flatbread..and calamari..highly recommend
Loved the Greek food!
Good place for a quick lunch. Standard Greek food. Service is friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable.
In past visits I found the food to be more favourable.
Opa.... that all encompassing Greek word of excitement, celebration.... I heard this after such a long time that it brought back fond memories of my living in Athens many years ago. Nestled in a corner of the busiest intersection of Niagara-On-The-Lake, one could easily issue the entrance. But go to the side street, and you will find its outdoor patio with a huge parking place behind. Fournos calls itself a place foe hime cooked meals. And so it was. With all the traditional Greek dishes on the menu, my mind went back to eating in Athens. On a weekend the wait to get a table may be very long. But it is worth it. The portions are big. There is a strong likelihood one may not finish it and carry a bag home. The taste is very Greek, bland to some palates, but mouth watering to those like me who have lived in Greece. I would strongly recommend anyone visiting NOTL to experience this Greek delight. Not one to miss.
Ate here last week during 25 degree weather in November on the patio. Had a wonderful experience, service, food and music made our lunch memorable. The saganaki and homemade baklava was the treasure of our delicious lunch. Will definitely return
