    We loved this place! The decor and music are fun; the vibes were great. The food was delicious; truly some of the best we’ve had recently! We had the calamari to start which was super crispy, and also a great portion to share. We tried a few of the slouvaki options for the mains and it was also delicious. Great portion size, flavourful meats and veggies. The crispy Greek potatoes are also a must! Service was top notch. Attentive but not overbearing, and super friendly. Highly recommend this spot.

    We were a group of 4 people and ordered the Kataifi Shrimp to share, and the Souvlaki Brochette (beef) and Ras Al Hanout Lamb Chop as main dishes. Our server was Leo who was very knowledgable about the menu and answered our many questions before we placed the order. We went by his recommendation and chose the kataifi shrimp and lamb chop. I really wished that for the price and the amazing ambiance they’d also have great items. But truth be told, the food didn’t live up to the mark. We did enjoy the souvlaki. The kataifi shrimp was not as flavourful and the sauces that came with it didn’t quite complement it. The lamb chop was good but nothing great. The two things that we genuinely liked were the fries and the dipping sauces. 3 stars because Leo was great and the ambience was good. Not sure if they’d be the reasons for me to go back if the food isn’t great. But I do want to try other items on the menu before being too quick to judge.

    Delicious! Love the atmosphere, the flavours were amazing and portion is well worth it. We got the grilled halloumi, hummus royale and lamb souvlaki brochette. For dessert we got the baklava ice cream which was delicious.

    Got to say we had a amazing experience in trofi restaurant! From the service, is extremely friendly, gave us useful recommendations and is all truth, always check in and fill the water, renew the tableware, always proactively start the conversation with us. For the dishes, as you can see from the photos, their appetizers size is full enough for ppl to keep enjoying the delicious, huge shrimp 🍤 definitely bouncing in your mouth and the calamari is fresh and smooth, with the arrangement of the dishes is extremely hard for you to not enjoy it. Main dishes for the lamb rib is medium rare and their cook has done is really good with the oil sauces. For the skewers we chose lamb and beef is definitely worth to try out. Great experience with outstanding service and high quality food!

    This restaurant is very pretty and aesthetic. The food was delicious! We ordered the souvlaki chicken brochette and the souvlaki halloumi/vegetables brochette with a side of Greek French fries. The souvlaki brochette are served with some pitas that were nice and soft, some rice that was really tasty and a fresh mediterranean salad, perfect plate! There was flames rock on the plate it was really cool perfect for photos. The service was amazing and the servers very friendly. Definitely recommend!!

    Nice concept of the typical greek takeout menus with a twist to be made for dine in experience instead. Food is made to be a little more upscale and presented well and its pretty good, service is okay- place is a little small so try to get a reservation. However considering the take out option is greek on wheels the price for this can make it a little overrated. I still enjoy it though when wanting to go out for greek food but still have a drink with friends!

    Dinner here was a treat.. let me begin on how cute and cozy this restaurant is, nothing fancy but looks nice and welcoming. Our server was very poolside and helpful. To begin with, she agreed very happily to move our table to another spot. Then she helped us navigate through the menu! We started with virgin mojitos, they were ok , a little bitter. For appetizers we had the Fatoush and the kataifi shrimp both were very flavourful . I absolutely loved the lemon dip that came with the shrimp! We got their grill for mains, we mixed things up with chicken, meat and kafta.. kafta was our least favourite a little chewy but the 2 others very juicy and tender, presentation was fun! For dessert we tried their crème brûlée which was a nice ending ! It was our first visit and now looking forward for the next one!

    One of my favourite restaurants in Ottawa! The food is impeccable every time! I can go on for days raving about it!! Number one place I recommend to everyone! Not only is the food fantastic but the team is radiant and bright. Felt welcomed and looked after the minute we walked in. Leo & Kimia made both occasions special and unforgettable. Thank you both again so much!

    Wow, we went here last night and it was one of the best restaurants we tried since moving to Ottawa. The vibe was really nice and intimate, plus they had a nice patio. The food was excellent, we got the halloumi, crispy calamari and lamb souvlaki and loved each dish. The service was also very good. Would highly recommend.

    Very delicious food and big portions! My chicken souvlaki dinner was more expensive than advertised online by $2 but apparently the prices were adjusted yesterday. The wine was very well priced for one litre. I had to pay $4 to exchange my fries/rice for salad which was unexpected. The service was amazing!Overall would come back.

    It was a fantastic experience to dine here! The interior is beautifully designed and provides a cozy and relaxing atmosphere to dine in. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and are so genuinely nice. You can tell they love their jobs. As for the food, I would give it six stars if I could. Presentation was beautiful and the healthy Mediterranean balance of food was perfect. The flavours were incredible from the appetizers to the mains to the dessert. Highly recommend!

    Had a great dinner experience. The service and food was top notch. To start off, we had Greek fries and fattoush salad followed by chicken, halloumi and vegetables brochette for mains. Also had Baklava Ice Cream for dessert. Everything tasted amazing and was well presented. Would recommend getting a reservation as it looked very busy even on a Wednesday night.

    A nice and cosy place in downtown. The food is AWESOME, we ordered the souvlaki (chicken and lamb combo) and it was delicious. The lamb is too juicy. The price is a bit expensive as compared to quantity. Love their fries, very unique and tasty. They should keep the music low, it makes the restaurant too loud and crowded. Will definitely visit again.

    We enjoyed our experience at Trofi in general. We tried trikafteri, fig+olive, and muhammara from the dips. Muhammara didn't taste as I normally like, but it was okay. Others were delicious. Keftedes saganaki is amazing. My fiancée loved the beet salad. Mains were lamb and beef souvlaki and köfte burger, which are delicious. Fries are mediocre, but cheese and greens elevate the taste. Overall, the food is very salty! Baklava+ice cream is nice, but could have used more baklava in it. Overall, it is a nice restaurant with decent Mediterranean food options.

    Came here for the happy hour to try it out. Service was great and friendly. Food was excellent, will definitely be coming back to try the regular menu items.

  • 5/5 Dawn D. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent time at Trofi! The service, food and ambiance were all great! Huge thanks to Leo, our server who gave us excellent recommendations when it came to the wine, apps and main meals. Our group started with the 'Dips to Share' which were amazing. Delicious pita bread, and plenty for our group of 4 to start off the meal! We also really enjoyed the 'Kourtakis Apelia Agiorgitiko' wine with dinner and the mains that followed. There's lots more on this menu that caught our eye, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend trying this place to support a local Ottawa restaurant with lots to offer!

    Trofi Restaurant is hands down the best thing that happened to Ottawa Centertown. Food is amazing and the nicest staff. Chicken soulvaki, chef's kiss. Good vibes.

    Food was delicious and the portions were huge! The service we received on the evening of Nov 20 was top-notch which made the experience more memorable for my partner's birthday. We will be back. The skewers coming out with the flaming charcoal was a delightful surprise - great presentation.

    Moochelle was the star of the night ;)! Fantastic service by her, shout out to the entire team for being so accommodating. We initially booked for 12 but they made it work for 15 of us. Food took quite a while to be served, but we were in good company and didn’t notice too much. All the dishes came out hot and at the same time which was super impressive. Lighting upstairs was a bit somber for my liking but all in all still a pleasant experience.

    Trofi served great food, ensured excellent service and attention for our private event. It was a great time and the guests commented on how nice the space is and how delicious the food was. Thank you for making it a great experience !

  • 5/5 Amelia B. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything about this place is amazing. Interior is super beautiful and service is great. Came here for partner’s sister’s birthday and returned for my own. My partner, sister and I all shared the calamari, brochette, and humus royale. We were all stuffed and had leftovers. My sister hates lamb and refuses to eat it, however, she raves about the lamb that came with the hummus. Dessert was also amazing. Will be bringing my parents here next time they visit.

  • 5/5 Chaz z. 11 months ago on Google
    Great quality food, fresh flavors and exceptional service all in a very nice atmosphere. Leo was an awesome server and very helpful. Calamari (5/5) -the best calamari I've ever had -very tender and tasty crispy batter -nice BIG and thick calamari pieces, they buy the whole squid and butcher it on site -grilled lemon takes it to a whole other level -tziziki to dip is a flavor bomb Halloumi (4.6/5) -cheese with accompaniments goes great all together - very flavorful without too much salt Mary's fattoush salad (4/5) - a little bit too much dressing - nice flavor and fresh ingredients Lamb and chicken souvlaki brochette (4.4/5) -large portion -very flavorful meats, lamb was slightly dry but had an incredibly enjoyable gamey flavor -veggies were perfectly cooked and had a nice smokey flavor -Rice was good but slightly overcooked Vanilla creme Brule (4.7/5) -thick, rich and not too sweet -real vanilla bean added a nice smooth, light vanilla flavor, which went well with the custard

    The food here tasted very delicious. 🥩 - 5⭐️| 🍆 - 5⭐️| 🍚 - 5⭐️| 🫓 - 5⭐️ You can tell a lot of care has been taken in crafting the diner experience. Sat outside on the patio, the inside area looked nice and I believe there’s a bar where you can sit if you need to wait for a table. The service was excellent! The vegetables tasted fresh and the meat was well seasoned. Everything was well presented and you know me…if the restaurant incorporates fire or a sizzle at the table, it’s an automatic 1 star. Would I eat here again ? Mmmm, only if I wanted the same experience again.

  • 5/5 Karine S. 2 years ago on Google

    From the second I walked in To such a beautiful chic layout. To the wonderful music that sets the mood, and don’t even get me started on how amazing the food is. You truly are getting what you pay for and that is high quality food and service. There was a server in training and another gentleman that was chaperoning him they truly made our night a wonderful experience I’m so sad that I forgot their names. They were so polite so accommodating and so quick to serve us and making sure every single one of our needs were met. They would continuously keep checking on us making sure our food or beverage his and everything was OK. Which it was the food is amazing and honest to God the best Greek food that you will find in Ottawa hands-down. This place is a must go and a must see by far one of the best experiences I’ve had !

  • 5/5 Raquelle S. 1 year ago on Google
    My second time here, this evening I had Pilard as a server, she was absolutely the best! Super amazing.. Food was delicious. We had a bit of everything from the menu, lamb, chicken, falafel, beets and goat cheese salad, feta fries, seafood broil (wasn't worth the price honestly)

  • 5/5 Ghassan Abou C. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Greek restaurant in the city! The drinks are great, I highly recommend the ouzo sour. The food was outstanding, with a great vibe to the restaurant. Great sport for a date.

  • 5/5 Nadia A. 1 year ago on Google
    My new favorite place. Had rib eye which melts in your mouth. Lamb and chicken souvlaki were very juicy. Don’t leave without the naan & dips ohhh and the Greek salad. ❤️❤️💯☝️Big Mak was our server and made our experience incredibly pleasant and that’s hard to find these days.
