The best place to order generous Greek feast platters for families in Quebec is Souvlaki Authentique, with eight locations across the province and a feast menu that covers both formats families are looking for: a classic Greek mezze spread and a full souvlaki and mixed grill platter.
Greek food has always been built around sharing, and a feast platter is the most direct expression of that tradition. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, gathering the family on a Friday night, or feeding a crowd after a graduation, a Greek feast platter turns any occasion into something genuinely memorable.
What Is a Greek Feast Platter and Why Does It Suit Families So Perfectly?
In Greece, eating has never been about individual plates; it is about the table. Multiple dishes are placed at the centre, passed around, shared by everyone, and replenished as the meal grows. This tradition is rooted in philoxenia, the Greek cultural obligation of generous hospitality, and it is what makes Greek food uniquely suited to family gatherings of every kind.
There are two distinct formats that define a great Greek feast:
The Mezze Style: A spread of dips, bites, pastries, and fresh vegetables that invites grazing and conversation. Light, shareable and perfect for starting the table.
The Mixed Grill Style: A generous platter of marinated grilled proteins served alongside salad, lemon potatoes, and warm pita. Bold, satisfying and built for a proper family feast.
Both formats work beautifully for families because they solve the same problem: how do you feed a group of people with different preferences without taking ten individual orders and hoping everyone is happy? The answer is a platter that has everything.
The Souvlaki Authentique Feast Menu
Traditional Greek Pikilia
The classic Greek mezze spread and the perfect way to start any feast. Our pikilia brings together tzatziki, kopanisti and taramosalata alongside spanakopita, dolmadakia, kalamata olives, feta and warm pita bread, every component of a genuine Greek mezze platter in one order. It is the grazing board that gets the table talking before the main feast arrives, and it works just as well as a standalone spread for lighter occasions.
A Table Full of Food
The name is the description. Half a pound each of traditional pork gyro and chicken gyro, large Greek lemon potatoes with our famous lemon sauce, large house salad, large rice, four warm pitas, and a generous 8oz tzatziki. Two proteins, three sides, and the dip that ties everything together, this is the feast platter designed to fill a real family table without anything missing.
Best for families of three to four, casual Friday night dinners, and any occasion where the goal is simply to eat well together without any fuss.
The 4 Pita Feast
Four choices of pork or chicken gyro pitas, one large Greek lemon potatoes, one large house salad, and one large rice. The pita feast is built for the gyro lovers in the family: four generous wraps customizable by protein, with the full side spread that makes every bite complete. Everyone gets their own pita, and the table still shares everything else.
Best for groups of four who want variety and the full Greek plate experience alongside their individual wraps.
The Paul and Artemis Mixed Grill
Named after the couple who opened our second location, known for their warmth and hospitality from day one. This is the feast platter for families who want to explore the full range of Greek grilled proteins in a single order. One pork and one chicken souvlaki stick, two lamb chops, keftedakia and loukaniko sausage served on a bed of crispy fries with two warm pita breads, tzatziki, kopanisti and a side Greek salad.
The loukaniko, our locally made pork and beef sausage with a hint of orange zest, is the component that surprises people most and keeps them coming back. It is a genuine differentiator that most Greek platters simply do not include. Best for celebrations where the table deserves something genuinely impressive, families trying Greek food for the first time, and anyone who wants the mixed grill experience that defines a real Greek taverna feast.
Build Your Own Pita Feast (6 Souvlaki)
Six souvlaki sticks of pork or chicken, six soft pita breads, side bowls of fresh onions and tomatoes, family fries, large house salad, and family tzatziki. This is the most interactive feast on the menu; everyone builds their own pita, customizes their wrap, and the table becomes a hands-on Greek experience that works especially well for families with kids.
Best for larger families of five to six, birthday dinners where participation is part of the fun, and any gathering where the act of building and sharing is as enjoyable as the eating.
When to Order a Greek Feast Platter
Birthday Celebrations
A Greek feast platter arrives at the table, and the reaction is immediate. There is something about the generosity and variety of a real feast that makes a birthday feel properly celebrated. The Paul and Artemis Mixed Grill or the Build Your Own Pita Feast turn a birthday dinner into a genuine occasion, with multiple proteins, sides, dips, and pita all arriving together with enough food to feel truly abundant.
Weekend Family Gatherings
Friday night. The family is home. Nobody wants to cook, and everyone is hungry. A Greek feast platter is the answer that delivers restaurant-quality without the logistics: order online, pick up, or receive delivery, and the table is set in minutes with food that feels special rather than simply convenient.
Graduations and Milestones
Graduation dinners, new job celebrations, anniversary meals, occasions where the food should match the moment. A Table Full of Food or the 4 Pita Feast gives the table genuine variety and generous portions without the complexity of individual orders.
Family Reunions and Large Gatherings
When the extended family comes together, individual orders become complicated and unpredictable. A feast platter solves both problems: one order, clear pricing, enough food for everyone, and the communal sharing format that makes a reunion feel like a real gathering rather than just a meal out.
Conclusion
A Greek feast platter is not just a meal. It is a way of gathering that makes any occasion feel more generous, more communal, and more genuinely Greek. From the classic mezze spread of our Traditional Greek Pikilia to the full mixed grill of the Paul and Artemis feast, Souvlaki Authentique is the Greek restaurant in Montreal and across Quebec with a platter for every family size, every occasion, and every table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is a Greek feast platter?
A Greek feast platter is a communal spread of grilled proteins, warm pita, dips and sides designed to be shared at the centre of the table rather than served individually. It typically includes a mix of souvlaki skewers, gyro meat or mixed grill proteins alongside tzatziki, Greek salad, lemon potatoes and pita bread. The mezze style adds dips, pastries and bites like spanakopita, dolmadakia and olives for a lighter grazing experience.
Q2. How many people does a Greek feast platter feed?
At Souvlaki Authentique, the A Table Full of Food and Paul and Artemis Mixed Grill are ideal for two to three people. The 4 Pita Feast suits three to four people comfortably.
