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!

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.

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.

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.

August 22, 2024

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 .

August 22, 2024

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

December 22, 2023

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

December 22, 2022

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 !

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.

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 !!!

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.

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

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 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.

December 22, 2021

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 ;)

December 22, 2021

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.

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 .

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.
