The side salad that comes with the main meals was dry and looked old, the rice was extremely salty. I asked for Ketchup for my potatoes as there was no sauce to go with it. When I squeezed the red refill bottle that I got, a watery substance came out followed by something resembling ketchup. I immediately regretted even putting it on my plate, since the ketchup was already sour and tasted disgusting. Overall, the food looked and tasted just as old and outdated as the whole restaurant. Can't recommend. Not coming back!

Food was great. We showed up at 11:35 at which time there were two clients inside and two on the terrace, yet it took nearly 45 minutes to be served our main course! I'd hate to see how long it takes when they're full.

Really do not recommend. Poor service. Inauthentic (they don’t even have lamb) and waited 45 minutes for food even though the restaurant was empty.

November 13, 2021

Had a horrible time, the dolmat they served us were rotten. The owner insisted that they wer fresh on the phone without even looking at them and asked us to pay them. Stay away.

The empty chairs on a busy day should have been a red flag. Horrible experience at this restaurant. They take advantage of their customers by charging $4 for an extra plate to split food (even when there are young children present). They pressure you for a tip and insult you if your tip doesn’t meet their high standards. Overall would not recommend, there are much better places in the area with better service!!

Awesome service from Nicolas. Food portions are massive!! If you get the souvlaki dinner you better be starving cause it is huge. Also homemade tzitziki (incorrect spelling I know)!! Great patio right in the heart of downtown. 5 stars for sure.

★★★★
December 29, 2019

The service and atmosphere were very nice and cozy. The food portions and flavor were very much present. The only improvement could be fresher dessert, as it tasted stale and dry and better cooked calamari, as it was very tough to chew. Overall, I will come again for my Greek food fix!

The chicken in my chicken gyro pita was dry dry dry. The $20 entry was very small and not very good. When I wanted to bring the rest of my gyro the waitress wanted to charge me $0.5 for the box! In short, bad and expensive

October 23, 2024

Total disappointment! Dry chicken gyros pita, unsalted fries. Liter of disgusting, hot homemade white wine. Price really too high for the result. The chairs are so stuck together, its impossible to get up without making your neighbors behind you stand up.

October 23, 2024

The chicken was not good. It didnt taste like anything, but there was a lot of food on the plate. Disappointing value for money. Nothing tasted like Greek food.

October 23, 2024

It was really too expensive for what it was! the majority of the dishes were dry and it was bad. I don t recommend if your goal is to eat well! In short, I did not enjoy my experience.

Very disappointed being a regular customer, ordered a souvlaki plate but I had forgotten to say red sauce on the side, the manager told me I would not throw away the plate at $16! Shocking service , so eating salad only it had sauce everywhere. She could have made an effort! Finished, Im going there.

Very nice little restaurant in downtown Trois Rivieres. Authentic Greek food made from real Greek owners. The ambiance is nice. The young women working are very nice and kind and the service is excellent - which is hard to find in 2023. The food is authentic Greek and very good. Chicken very juicy not dry at all. Full of flavors. Thank you! Very nice little restaurant in the heart of downtown Trois Rivieres. Close to the waters edge. Authentic Greek food prepared by owners who are truly Greek! The ambiance and decor is beautiful! The young girls who work there are very nice and their service is excellent!! - very rare to find its time if in 2023! The food is authentic Greek. Pouler is not dry at all. Lots of tastes. THANKS

Service and food is a big NO. Apart from the pikilia which is ok, NOTHING. My partner spoke to the manager about the terrible service and the scallops, Caesar salad, the potatoes which are a shame for a Greek restaurant and our famous waitress. An experienced waitress with just explanations to throw away. First time giving a star. I never thought a restaurant deserved this rating. $120 for not having dinner.

I like this restaurant but this evening, I had a disappointment. I live 20 minutes from the restaurant. On Google, it says closing at 10 p.m. I arrive at the restaurant at 8 p.m. to be told that they close early today. It seems the least you can do is respect your closing hours...

The reference to the city center, to the time for breakfast as well as lunch and supper. There is something for all budgets but the must is the different versions of pitas (wrap/sandwich) and the gyros (I recommend the beef, killer). Accompanies them to the best (fried rice and small salad) and the essential red sauce of which they keep the secret! Honestly, if you like grilled meats and gyros (sliced meats) youre not wrong!!! Ask for the waitress Anaïs

Fried squid too dry, Gyro chicken too dry, too salty and I didnt taste the chicken... shrimp skewers taste too much like frozen. On the other hand, very good salad and rice.

We are really not picky the waiters and waitresses are, however, smiling and welcoming!

Not recommended, several opinions talk about it all they want is the money, the rest they feel screwed up, even if you have mold on your plate, pay for your plate, and give your 15%. very overcooked food to be sure that the bacteria dies I suppose, my friend had an order of $70 and gave $35 of tips for me and him (my order $40) well the waitress came to catch me outside from the building I was on the sidewalk in front of all the terraces and she tried to humiliate me in public because I dont give tips that Im cheap and that people like me if there wouldnt be any the earth would breathe better. I was like seriously...?? she doesnt even try to know the why and how, she just wanted even more cash that she could have... real vampires. yet another girl who imagines themselves to be more important than the other humans around them and that only their personal profit makes them happy.. its sad.. but classic at the same time there are so many who believe that..

★★
December 23, 2022

Very ordinary gyros. You can find much better ones at Amir in shopping centers, for much less. The fries were not fried enough. The souvlaki was also quite ordinary. As a table dhôte, the homemade vegetable soup was very good but the baklava syrup didnt seem to be just honey. On the other hand, the service was very good and courteous. I would recommend this restaurant to improve the quality of their main dishes, even if it means increasing the price.

Local Guide
December 23, 2022

Lack of professionalism, saying we had to leave a tip despite the ordinary service. It was one of my favorite restaurants. Far down my list. The waitresses saying that it is a law that we must give a tip, which is not true. And repeating something else that I wont say here but that the manager should absolutely take into account when saying his employees to customers. Best wishes !

December 23, 2022

The service is good the young girl is kind and efficient however for the meal there is nothing Greek salad with tasteless vinaigrette brown sauce on potatoes and skewer instead of tzatziki really very disappointed I do not recommend. The white wine not cold, obliged to take ice cubes.

I ordered a chicken skewer plate, it was very good but I found it a little expensive.

December 23, 2021

Regular customer of Souvlaki Centre-ville unfortunately the quality has declined significantly for some time. We ordered two Chicken Giros for takeaway and the meat was very dry unable to eat it. We called the restaurant to inform them and we were yelled at by the manager claiming that it was impossible for our chicken to be dry. Very disappointed. We will go elsewhere in the future.

December 23, 2021

I have been to this place many times and before it was excellent but the last time I went there I was very disappointed. The chicken gyro was very dry and I wasnt able to eat it. Putting $50 for 2 plates in the trash is very disappointing.

December 23, 2021

My partner and I found mold on the plate of Pikilia for 2 as a starter (see photos). Its unfortunate because its a restaurant that we used to love. We reported this to the waitress (who was very nice) and asked that she credit us for the starter (which wasnt finished, we stopped eating it when we noticed the mold). After talking about it with her colleagues, and showing them the plate, she told us that the establishment could only credit 3.50 on the dish. We then indicated that we were going to pay and leave without eating the main meal as we found it offensive that there was no acknowledgment of the situation. The waitress then called her superior and then came back to us saying that he maintained that the vine leaves were fresh (without even having seen them) and that he wanted us to pay for the entire plate. In short, the establishment did not recognize the mold and made us pay full price...

Way too expensive for what it is! I ordered a Mediterranean plate and I received 50% salad drenched in tasteless sauce, 1/4 pita bread, 3 small spinach puff pastry (which tasted like frozen), a good handful of fries and a small miniature chicken breast...of one; I was still hungry afterwards and two, I really didnt enjoy the experience in general!
