Mezes

Was in Greece for 12 days in late May 2025. This is by far the closest I've come to that same culinary experience. They serve real Greek beer, the food portions were great, and the taste and quality were exceptional. 10/10, recommend Mezes for an authentic Greek experience.

Great vibe, busy spot. No reservations, but the host was super helpful and got us a table when we needed it. Food took a while, but it was worth the wait. Lamb chops were the standout. The small dip platter with garlic pita was a nice start, and the calamari was fresh. Cocktails were refreshing, and prices were fair. Only downside was the noise—it gets really loud inside—and the waiter didn’t check on us much. Still, overall a solid experience.

Very decent Greek place on Danforth. I’d go back but not ideal for anyone on a tight budget. Very pleasant atmosphere, solid, polite but not overly obsequious wait staff. Fresh ingredients.

The best Greek restaurant I’ve tried in Toronto! Every time I crave Mediterranean food (which happens a lot 😋), this is where we come. The octapodi and calamari are always perfect — fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right! 💙🇬🇷

Popped in today with the family for a meal and could not have been happier with our service, food and atmosphere. Staff was helpful and friendly, food was delicious and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed the kalamari, saganaki, and chicken, pork and lamb souvlaki meal. Both adults and kids were satisfied. We dined on the outdoor patio but the inside was clean and bright. Restrooms available also. Would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone. Will be returning.

Whether it's sharing plates between family members, friends gabbing over drinks, or a casual date night, Mezes is a great spot to check out. Their stylish patio can accommodate large groups, the food is good and so is the service. I would definitely recommend to friends.

Food was fine, we ordered many small dishes. The famous flamed cheese was very salty, the lamb chops were smaller than expected but it was okay. The problem was, it was very very loud. It was Wednesday evening and I almost lost my voice talking to my friend for just over an hour. We were seated around 5:30pm as a walk-in and in 30 minutes it got pretty full and very busy, by the time we left there was a line up.

I’ll start by saying the Mezes olive oil that they have at each table is incredible. It’s so aromatic, and embodies the full flavour of olives. The food is decent. Calamari and pita with dips were probably my favourite dishes. The grilled vegetables were a bit too burnt (quite blackened), but the meat and seafood dishes were good. No reservations but we came 15 min after opening for lunch on the weekend and got a spot.
