Montfort Mediterranean Grill - Upper James: Reviews & Ratings
Food was great, I wanted to try as much as I could being my first time there so I got the mixed grill for 1 (picture attached) which was montfort chicken, chicken shawarma, pork souvlaki, kafta, homefries and a salad. I enjoyed them all. Ample parking, very helpful and friendly service. Lots of seating.
Service and food, top notch! Very friendly, funny and personable. The server was quite the jokester and made the lunch funny. Definitely will be back!
Delicious Mediterranean food!! The place is casual and the meals are great. We loved the meals!
We had the vegetarian lunch special. Really flavorful fresh and delicious food! Everything was good but my personal favorites were (Bathenjane) the eggplant dish and the onion rings. Definitely a must try!
This has been our go to Mediterranean restaurant for a very long time. The food is delicious, the staff are wonderful and you always feel welcome when you are here.
Since moving to Canada five years ago, I haven't found a Mediterranean restaurant that beats Montfort Mediterranean Grill. My family really enjoyed the staff's company. The lady who greeted us was super friendly and incredibly funny (I'd give her six stars if I could!). Now, about the food: We ordered the mixed grill, hummus, Greek salad, and pita. To our pleasant surprise, we got more than we expected. The grilled chicken and beef were tender and flavorful. And don’t even get me started on their side dishes! The restaurant was also very clean, and the atmosphere was calm, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. A highly recommended spot if you're looking for food that tastes like heaven.
A great establishment with great food! This is easily one of the best Mediterranean cuisines in the city and the Upper James location is definitely our favourite location. A must visit! The shawarma here is my favourite of any restaurant. The lentil soup is also a must try. We frequently come for parties as well!
Great restaurant the food was amazing , authentic, clean , the quality of the food was fantastic as well. The ambiance was terrific and unique. The low reviews are not justifiable and seem unfair, you have to pay more to get good quality food like at most sit down restaurants.
