The staff were very friendly and helpful! The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The sharing stable of the restaurant is quite enjoyable and I would highly recommend. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food. My one complaint would be the wine menu selection, there was not a single wine from Canada. Living so close to the county and the Niagara region, I was disappointed in this.
I have finally, 7 months later tried this restaurant, and we weren’t disappointed! Yes it is on the pricier side of restaurants, however the food is was very tasty and flavourful, not to mention the staff and service. The atmosphere of the place is normal; nothing out of the ordinary. We started off with the trio dip to share which is amazing! Then had the mixed grill, grilled calamari (I can’t explain in words how amazing it was) and had a side of salad and potatoes. Their potatoes were so unique and flavourful! Everything was absolutely tasty and I will definitely be coming here again! Loved it!
This is one of the best restaurants in town. Went once for dinner and once for brunch. Absolutely everything was good. 😋 the moussaka and the fruit plate we’re outstanding.
I honestly have nothing bad to say. This place is amazing! Definitely must try: the cheese croquettes, meat platter and the grilled octopus. All the grilled meets are tender and marinated with a ton of flavour. Even dessert is amazing - there is a vanilla custard dessert that is sort of like a baklava-custard tart fusion that is just the right combination of smooth and flaky textures. Food comes quickly, service is very friendly. My only qualm is that the venue is rather small, but it makes for a cozy dining experience, if you like that. Highly recommend.
Went to EVOO last night for a friends birthday. The food was good. We had the meat sharing platter for 5 people and there was a lot left over. The lamb was delicious. The service was mediocre.
Wife and I went with a couple of friends. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and pace of the meal were wonderful. The owner has a hands on approach and was warm and welcoming. The atmosphere of this lovely restaurant is friendly and the sharing style of the menu makes it perfect for groups and families. The owner actually makes you feel like family.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
It was our first time this Sunday at your location. Despite the rain outside ( or was it even more because of it?) we noticed a warm, cheerful ambiance as soon as we got in. Two people were celebrating their birthday at two different tables and each time the staff made sure to bring a surprise desert with a sparkling mini candle. Our own group of three was celebrating my belated birthday so we chose the mixed grill for three completed by a luscious Greek salates and nice potatoes. Lamb pork and chicken were tasty and tender. Wine, sangria and coffe were in tune with the lovely meal. Thanks to my friends and the staff who with their joie de vivre made this evening a real festival!!
Contemporary Greek Food at its finest. Great spot for drinks and shareables with friends. The EVOO menu boasts many options, even though I'm a pescatarian and don't eat poultry, pork or red meat. Great service, ambiance and general experience.
OMG!!!!! Love this place! The Greek salad is DELICIOUS!!! The calamari are so flavourful! The spanakopita is mouth-watering! The service is spectacular! Honestly, one of the best restaurants in Ottawa! Definitely recommended!!!!!!🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮😀
Those who aren’t hard-core foodies may not recognize the ‘EVOO’ in the restaurant name as meaning ‘Extra Virgin Olive Oil’, although most will probably discern that Greek cuisine is very much on the menu. There are two Greek restaurants in Ottawa that I had been meaning to try for quite a while and when I finally made it to this one, set (a bit incongruously) in the heart of Little Italy, it turned out to be well worth the taxi-ride…
After a Very long wait... my partner and I waited so long to come back to Evoo to eat the delicious meals of the Sea!!. Well, she was the picker of the amazing plates of food. We had a Blast! We were treated excellently, the service was quick and trust me it was pretty busy. Anyways, The food was amazing as we once knew years ago and I tried the Octopus for the 1st time and I really Loved it!
Next Time! Will bring more friends to this excellent place of food of the Sea!
Til Next time!

Went back with a friend. Food is still amazing. Get the octopus, you won't be sorry. I love that the plates are mostly designed to share, so you get to try many things.
Had a lovely meal with friends. We ordered several dishes to share amongst us. All were tasty and great portions. Will go back again.
Absolutely FANTASTIC food. Ambiance is very nice too. Food is a bit pricey but the taste is worth it. If you’re a larger person or very hungry, you may want to order “for two”.
Delicious food, large and shareable portions that make for a cozy experience.
Staff are friendly, restaurant is tidy and well maintained. All community safety guidelines are being followed.
There were two of us and we ordered:
Tzatziki & Flat Bread
Green Salad
Lemon Potatoes
Mixed Meat Shareable Plate for Two
Our total for the night before the tip was about $120.
With this amount of food, I think 3-4 people could have finished it in one sitting, as we ended up taking a lot of it home and had it for dinner the following day.
Really delicious Greek food. A bit pricey but everything is now. The shrimp and dip combo were especially nice.
I finally made it to EVOO! Which by the way stands for Extra Virgin Olive Oil! 🤣 Being Greek myself I can appreciate the goodness of this nectar of the Greek Gods being used in their dishes! It’s the fountain of youth! The ambiance was fun with great friendly staff and the food was excellent! I will definitely return! 👍😎 🇬🇷 🇨🇦
First time coming to EVOO and it was a great brunch experience! Nice to try a place that has more innovative brunch dishes and a spin on the “traditional” ones.
The Dakos was refreshing with the watermelon and mint. The benny had perfectly poached eggs and lamb that wasn’t overpowering. The Mykonos fried chicken burger was juicy, wonderfully constructed and full of flavour.
Excited to come back and try the dinner menu!
