    We ended up here after seeing our breakfast/brunch spot was closed on Tuesdays. Clearly this should have been our original destination. Looks like an office building from outside-anything but as you enter into a cool Bar area. A couple of levels with various seating areas (I.e private dining rooms). Had the Power work lunch vibe going for it. Although casual better to dress up than down-just that kind of place. Prix Fixe lunch with a few desirable options for the courses. We ordered a Tarama Salata for sharing-Milo's version was tasty and on the milder side. First course starters were Grilled Octopus (Sashimi quality) and Calamari- both were enjoyed. Presentation was "Let's just look at it and not eat" level. Second course was Dorade Royal (Sea Bream), Double Bone Lamb Chop (perfect medium rare and delicious) and I got the Tuna Burger. I haven't had many Tuna Burgers but this has to be the best one yet. So good it made me consider giving up Beef Burgers! & the Zucchini fries were so much better than potato fries. Dessert was Walnut Cake and Baklava Ice Cream. Cake was tasty and the Ice cream was a first as we we all had the Pastry version only-delicious! Service was exceptional from beginning to end. We got lucky to walk in and get a table without a reservation. They use their own Milo's EVOO (early harvest) which is a nice touch. Looks like they have other locations in a handful of major cities. A local friend's favorite that lived up to the hype!

    Baklava and ice cream

    Exquisite Greek dining in elegance. From the moment we walked in, I could tell I was in for a treat. The beautiful fresh flowers at the front were just the beginning. The ambiance and decorations are lovely and transport you into an elegant world with large urns, white drapes, spiral staircases leading to multiple levels of cozy dining areas, artwork, and more. Even the bathroom had fresh flowers. The menu is filled with delectable options from steak, lambchops, some vegetarian options, but mostly seafood: oysters, caviar, lobster, crab cakes, octopus, calamari and several kinds of fresh fish. Our server took us to the seafood counter where several kinds of fresh fish were on ice: swordfish, tuna, salmon, red snapper, flounder, cod, halibut and others. We chose a fish large enough for our party of three, and had an appetizer of bread with olive oil and calamari. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. I felt no need to add salt, and though I am a fan of enjoy spicy foods, this was just perfect. We had some vegetables to accompany the fish and they were also excellent. For dessert, I ordered the baklava, which came with ice cream. The service was impeccable and attentive. I would love to take my wife here for a romantic dinner, though it was equally appropriate for a business dinner or a special time among friends, as was my case this time. Everything was very clean, spotless, and beautiful. The decor was beautiful. If I could give more than five stars, I would.

    The best of everything. The simplicity of the recipes makes it impossible to hide the quality of the product.

    If you are looking to come here just be advised that it's expensive and you would absolutely need a reservation. Also if you get a reservation don't choose to be seated at the bar. It's very uncomfortable and thigh. Also we felt like there was a ligering bad smell that was coming and going threw out our time at the restaurant, I'm not sure if they have sewer issues but it was disgusting. When we got there, and got seated, we felt like we weren't important enough to be greeted by the bartender or even a waiter for almost 15 mins. Im not sure if its because looked young or something. We didn't even get a drink or food menu and we were asked what we wanted to drink. The drinks were really good and I felt like they put a good amount of alcohol. The salmon sashimi was really good and very fresh. We got the fried zucchini and eggplant with tsatsiki, it was very good. Definitely a must order We also got the octopus, it was very tender and juicy...it came with a side of hummus which was disgusting. And finally we got the lobster pasta, this was not good at all and it costed us 92$, the pasta didn't have any flavor, there was 4 pieces of tiny lobsters in the pasta. The pasta was Market price, it's our fault for not asking the price e before ordering it but I've never in my life would think it would cost 92$, if I knew I would have never ordered it, I'm not really sure how it was okay for them to charge that much. We even complained about not liking the pasta to the waiter and he was so surprised, didn't even care and offered us Tabasco, I've never heard anyone putting Tabasco on a pasta before. What a shame for Italians. Each of the dishes were coming separately which I didn't like because by the time we got to the pasta I wasn't hungry anymore We got the kataifi for dessert, it was okay. I feel like I wouldn't come back because of those little bad things, honestly when I'm paying a bill of 400$ and plus, I expect everything too be nice, from the food to the service.

    Dessert!

    The Scarlet Vetter says....wow. Just wow. Beautiful ambiance, stunningly presented food, excellent and knowledgeable service. A panapoly of flavors, often exquisite and robust in the same dish. We started with a beautiful bottle of Ant Hill Pinot Noir and a crusty flavorful bread with first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil with fresh oregano cut into the oil. Who said woman cannot live on bread and wine! Then we transitioned to 30 g of ossetra caviar from the Noir Caviar Company with fresh, plump, homemade blini and the usual trimmings of egg white shavings, crumbled egg yolk, tiny cut chives, and Creme Fraiche. Next, thinly shaved zucchini and eggplant crisps with fresh homemade tzatziki sauce--a house specialty. The best. Then followed by grilled octopus with a smooth and silky fava bean puree dressed with thin shaved red onion and fresh parsely. Then the Sepia dressed with olive oil and fresh sprouts with a big dollop of squid ink risotto. The Sepia was outstanding. The Risotto was crunchy and waaaaay underdone. The kitchen remedied this immediately and thanked us for bringing it to their attention. They, without our saying anything, took the Sepia dish off the bill AND later brought out a generous helping of the Risotto, beautifully cooked. Then North Carolinian Sea Bass. Flaky, rich, and dressed beautifully, it was so flavorful!!! Dessert was flaky shredded phyllo with creme and pistachio. Ok. I am going to take a nap now.

    GREEK YOGURT w/honey
    Bethany M.

    This meal was a dream, where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts. First: the lobster salad. For a dish that has less than 10 ingredients, it's a knockout. We watched our waiter, Camille, walk right up to the tank and pluck our lunch out of the water. That's how fresh it is. The grilled swordfish was to. Die. For. So deftly cooked - meltingly tender. Last but not least: the Greek yogurt with thyme honey. We couldn't eat the walnut topping because one of our diners is allergic, but honestly the dish really didn't need it. The salty-savory-creaminess of the yogurt coupled with the honey was absolute perfection. Service was without fault.

    Our waiter serving the salt crusted fish

    The meal was amazing. The cocktails were delicious and our waiter helped us navigate the menu very effectively. We chose a few appetizers and a bottle of wine to have with the meal. For the main course we had a whole fish cooked in salt, and fresh greens on the side. It was very well prepared. We will be back.

    Simple and refreshing

    Excellent food, service and ambiance. Superb! A new favorite for me and one I recommend not passing up.

    OCTOPUS with fava bean purée
    Julie C.

    Milos is a staple in the Montréal culinary community, so I wanted to write this review -- this is based on a late lunch, for a table of 3, during the week. We made a reservation prior to our visit, which is pretty much a standard now since COVID-19 started, as it is harder to just walk into popular restaurants. Considering Milos has a reputation for their high $$$$, their lunch menu is extremely popular as it is more affordable. (Table d'hôte $39 per person and you get 1 appetizer, main and dessert). The atmosphere is very crips, bright and open. Our actual waiter was phenomenal and we loved him very much but the front of house was a bit disorganized (for example, we made a reservation but still ended up waiting close to 25 minutes to be seated). Granted it is pandemic times, and we understand everywhere is a bit short staffed. We had a few glasses of great Greek white wines by the glass and all took the table d'hôte lunch menu. I had the grilled octopus with fava bean purée as well as grilled sea bass for my main. I passed on the dessert as I was full, but my colleagues got the Greek yogurt dessert and said they were good. Everything I had was spectacular, and I loved the bread with the Greek olive oil they serve in the beginning too. It is no surprise that Milos has its longstanding reputation with a high price point, yet customers keep coming back. Overall I thought the lunch menu price was quite a deal for the quality of service and food you receive. The À la carte menu for dinner, however, is much steeper and will definitely hurt your wallet a little bit. But Milos is a classic and a guarantee that you'll have a great meal with great service. I wouldn't personally say this is the number one Greek restaurant ever, but you should definitely try it once and compare for yourself!

    Grilled seabass
    Hadia G.

    Getting a reservation here on a Friday night was no easy task. Getting there was no easy task as well since there was a fire on that street and they blocked it all down! Yet we made it and we're so happy we did. Let me start with service because it was amazing and super friendly, everyone leaving like they made friends with the hostess . Seafood definitely one of the best we ever had, the Sea-bass was lightly seasoned but yet we didn't add anything to it while eating. Milos special is extra special, hubby doesn't eat eggplant yet munched it all! The place itself is very busy and loud, we would have loved to eat in a little more quiet spot but I guess that's what happens when food is so yummy!

    Sashimi
    Camille R.

    Second time at this restaurant and I still believe that this is the best restaurant in Montreal. They have changed their menu so it was nice to try some different things. The Lavraki cevice was perfectly balanced. The milos special was excellent. The cured fish platter was amazing - I was really pleasantly surprised. The sashimi was good but would not order again. The fried calamari were good but also would skip it the next Time. The Greek salad was very fresh ans tasty. However the best dish is definitely the lamb chops. Do not leave here without trying it. The chops were Perfectly cooked. The meat literally melts in Your mouth. We tried the Greek desert Ekmek Kataifi but was not too impressed by it. All in all great evening and great food.

    Baklava Ice Cream
    Alexia B.

    Amazing lunch deal. I lived a minute away from Milos for over a year but I thought it was all "hype" so I wasn't too tempted to try it. I'm glad my friends said we had to go because the interior design transported me to warmer lands and the dishes were extremely fresh and satisfying. If you're not sure that you're a fan of oysters get the three oyster appetizer! They were perfect; the right amount of salt without being "fishy." The Greek Spreads is also a safe and versatile bet for an appetizer. I had a bite of my friend's salmon and it was probably the best cooked salmon I've ever had. My salmon tartare was good and everything I was expecting from a salmon tartare. You MUST get the baklava ice-cream. No question. You MUST! The crunchy baklava folded into the creamy ice-cream was a delight. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and the lunch price for the high-quality fare is hard to beat. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy fresh food in a classy setting and I hope to go back and try their dinner menu. The only downsides were related to service. I think it could have been a training day. It took a long time for our orders to be taken and I was left thirsty a few times. My order ticket was left on my plate. My friends asked for milk and sugar with their coffees but I had to ask for it a second time after the coffees were on the table.

    The Original MILOS.   The first ... of many
    Kimberley K.

    Love this place !! The very FIRST Milos ever. Food is so fresh ! Fish is amazing ! Veges are incredibly tasty ! Try the after 10pm price fixed meal. If you want to save money.... go party ... drink ... THEN head to Milos to get food in your stomach before the alcohol hits and you have nothing to back it up .. ;-*

Spacious dining area with a section that shows off the fresh fish of the day-a smaller outdoor seating area.-only one table occupied given almost closing time. First, we quickly realized, for 3 of us, we ordered too much food. Started with the Fried Eggplant (Aubergine) and Tarama Salata. Both were tasty. The Tarama was milder and not as salty-every restaurant/city has their own version of my favorite dip. Greek Salad was just like in Athens-so much Feta, Olives and no lettuce -delicious. Grilled Squid was sliced thinly and perfectly seasoned! Oh we also had to try the Mexican Jumbo Shrimp-jumbo they were and tasty. At this point, we should've stopped but we had to try an entree. We ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bream (for 2) which was just right for 3 of us given our endless appetizers. The table side carving and plating of the fish was a nice touch. Fresh Bream was delicious. Of course we had leftovers. Service was very attentive and engaged matching the level of this spot. Extra thanks to the team for accommodating us at the late hour. Members of the staff thanked us as we were leaving-how often does that happen?! Don't miss this neighborhood Gem that will transport you to Athens.

This is Greek elegance and sophisticated magnificence in the food preparation. First, the think that makes any establishment is service. Here, the service is impeccable but subtle. With just a glance the server , Juliano attended every need. So personable, so available, but never over-bearing. The Greek salad is the essence of pure, fresh tomato, cucumber, peppers, not too much olive, two chunks of feta, in a deliciously fresh olive oil and vinegar with subtle but effective seasoning. Most importantly, and this epitomizes the restaurant, all presented at the perfect room temperature and as if the vegetables and marinated perfectly. The Linguine aux fruits de mer is not too overbearing on a bed of fine pasta with a delicious, sauce that lingers on the pasta and is so flavorful. The seafood is ringed calamari, head calamari, sautéed, scallop, and huge shrimp. In New Orleans would be called prawns. My only complaint was a little light on shrimp and one more would be amazing. The cappuccino was so thick with milk froth it far outlasted the coffee. House made pistachio ice cream is perfectly not too sweet and rich and creamy perfection. This restaurant knows EXACTLY what they are doing! Somewhat limited in selection but everything done to the finest detail. You must ask for Juliano, he will take good care of you. You will leave feeling like a friend.

No shade to older people, but we were with our 18 and 20 year old kids and the vibe was kinda vanilla. We were pretty hungry so decided to give it a go. Firstly, we are from Ontario and are not fluent in French. We will make the effort to do our best but usually the servers will just speak English, which we appreciate! Our server this day was just not the friendliest. She seemed annoyed with us from the get go. Whether it was our subpar attempt at speaking French or not, who knows. Definitely couldn't have been a reflection of our attitudes as we always go out of our way to be super respectful of people in the service industry as we have all worked in it in some capacity. The place was not very busy so it's not like she was slammed with orders. She took our order and then disappeared for 45 minutes lol. People were being served all around us but it seemed as though we had been forgotten. Our order was not complicated (2 Greek salads, and two chicken skewer plates). When our meal finally arrived, I was honestly shocked. The "village Greek salad" or however they called it was just tasteless. Huge pieces of pepper, huge pieces of tomato, some cucumber, minuscule feta and a few olives tossed in for good measure and the most pathetic gathering of lettuce underneath it all. Barely any oil, zero vinegar. It was just laughable. Server was nowhere to be seen so I couldn't ask for some extra oil and vinegar. Not once did she come by to see how we were doing or ask if we needed anything. Just couldn't be bothered, I guess. The chicken skewer platters were tasty enough but definitely nothing to write home about. We won't be returning on future visits to Montreal. The outside patio is cute but that was the only positive about our experience. Even trying to pay was a huge hassle as the server had seemingly disappeared and we waited for almost ten minutes until she showed her face. When she printed the bill, made an "are you stupid?" face as she was standing a bit further away from me and basically called me over like I was a dog. We still tipped her (15% instead of our usual of 22%) (my kids are extremely unhappy that I tipped at all) but we will never recommend this place to friends or family coming in from out of town. We visit Montreal quite a lot and frequent a lot of places but this is one that you can absolutely skip.
