Estiatorio Milos represents an international standard for Mediterranean seafood preparation by prioritizing the absolute freshness of its market-sourced ingredients. Patrons select raw specimens directly from an iced display case, where the daily catch determines the core of the menu. Preparation techniques emphasize simplicity through charcoal grilling, olive oil infusions, and seasoning with hand-harvested sea salt. The signature Milos Special consists of thinly sliced, lightly fried zucchini and eggplant served with crisp saganaki cheese and tzatziki. This establishment maintains a commitment to Hellenic tradition by showcasing whole fish roasted in sea salt crusts to preserve moisture and flavor profiles. Complementary sides feature garden-fresh vegetables drizzled with Greek extra virgin olive oil to complete the focus on clean, high-quality maritime products within a minimalist and open interior space.

Ce soir, j'ai sincèrement eu honte d'avoir recommandé Milos, & honnêtement, j'ai eu honte pour la scène gastronomique montréalaise… très bonne nourriture
Un restaurant avec votre réputation devrait savoir comment la protéger.
J'ai amené mon beau-père de New York chez Milos après lui avoir dit que c'était l'un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. Clairement, j'avais tort.
Deuxième visite chez Milos… & quelle soirée horrible.
Nous avons attendu 45 minutes avant qu'une serveuse ne vienne simplemen à notre table. Personne n'a expliqué le menu. Un plat est arrivé cinq minutes après celui des autres, ce qui nous a empêchés de manger ensemble. Le service a duré quatre heures. Nous avons constamment dû demander à ce qu'on nous resserve de l'eau, & j'ai fini par me servir moi-même le vin. Bref, tous les détails qu'on attend d'un restaurant de ce calibre étaient absents.
Pour aggraver les choses, j'avais spécifiquement demandé mon poisson sans câpres, & après plus d'une heure d'attente, il est quand même arrivé avec des câpres.
Le plus décevant ? Après s'être excusée plusieurs fois au cours de la soirée, la serveuse nous a apporté l'addition… & rien n'a été offert. Je ne lui en veux pas, car je sais que ces décisions viennent souvent de la direction, pas du personnel de service.
Direction, quand vous avez une soirée chargée & que vous êtes clairement under staffed , le minimum est de donner à votre équipe les moyens de corriger la situation. Offrez un dessert, une entrée, un verre de vin …quelque chose. Milos existe depuis près de 50 ans. Vous pouvez vous permettre de donner à votre personnel les moyens de rattraper une mauvaise expérience client.
Un restaurant avec votre réputation devrait savoir comment la protéger.
Je me répète parce que clairement la direction a la tête la enflée……

Had a wonderful lunch at Milos on park avenue to celebrate a friend's birthday 🎉🥂
The restaurant is absolutely beautiful & the whole experience felt relaxed from start to finish. The service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing, & we never felt rushed.
We were welcomed with delicious fresh bread served with olive oil & fresh oregano prepared tableside, that was a really nice touch
We all enjoyed the $49 lunch special, which was fantastic value. I paired mine with a really nice glass of rose wine.
I started with the tomato salad with vine ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onions & feta. Everything was incredibly fresh & full of flavour. For my main, I had the grilled Dorade Royal with steamed broccoli, perfectly cooked & delicious. For dessert, I chose the Greek yogurt martini topped with cherries, which was light, refreshing & the perfect ending to the meal.
🍷🍅✨
Fresh delicious food, beautiful surroundings & great service.
Milos really is a amazing restaurant
Major pressure on this restaurant since it has such a huge reputation, it does live up to the expectations! Definitely best greek in the city, great experience. Some of the best octopus I have ever had. The fruits for dessert were phenomenal.
Milos offers an unparalleled traditional culinary experience. Milos is a very high-end traditional authentic Greek cuisine. One of the very best I have had.
On the day we were there, the batch of fishes, except one kind came directly from Greece by plane ! Mediterranean fishes are well known for their high quality, tasty meat & delicacy.
I tasted 4 entries, 3 main dishes & 3 desserts. Their signature dish of chips style fried zucchini & eggplant with tzatziki is a delight.
I like appetizers/tapas very much. When at the Mediterranean seashore (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal) I used to spend few days just eating entries/tapas for breakfast, for lunch & for late dinner. Milos appetizers are extremely tasty, fresh & authentic.
Here, seafood dishes are often, if not always prepared simply so that the customer can easily appreciate the freshness & delicacy of the product.
Even in the middle of the winter, everything there is extra high quality & extra fresh, nearly like the level I had found at the Mediterranean seashore. It's a true tour de force !
All my taken desserts were nice & tasty too.
My favorite dish : The young lamb chops in hotel/french cut is truly amazing. Highest quality chops, simply grilled, executed to perfection reveling ideal combination of tenderless, tastyness & nice flavor - a pleasure for the palate & nose.
The grilled Octopus is also a staple of Milos kitchen. Perfect, from high quality raw meat to execution. Sometime simple things or dishes with few elements are super hard be executed with perfection ... like a nice bread 🍞
The Milos atmosphere is refined with a touch of timeless ancien Greek elegance thru the multitude long white hanging drapes. The mixt of long straight lines & long curve lines all in white of this bright place, reminded me Oia & Santorin.
Milos is the place we can let ourself be immersed in a smooth elegant ambiance & deep Greek hospitality. This large restaurant is very well split in small, immaculate cozy & open spaces.
The kitchen seems way too small for the 160 seats. The delay between each plate rotations is super long. It's so slow.
Service is not yet par of the starred Michelin restaurant. Eyes contact is hard to reach when I needed something. Some waiters, seem sometime lost. I ended to'call' exclusively Kosmas. Price is somehow wallet friendly for that kind of high quality dishes.
If don't have deep pocket or don't want to spend too much, just skip the deluxe products, fish & seafood, on display sold by lbs. The choice of wine is large & also super wallet friendly compare to other fine restaurants in Montreal.
Upon entering, your heavy winter coat is taken from you & stored away. At the table, the water is served nearly right away, which is great. As in most fine dining restaurants, bread, flat & sparkle water are complementary of the restaurant. With each course rotation, the cutlery & utensils are changed. But here, no details of the contents is provided by the staff. There is here an opportunity of improvement as the kitchen is slow & it could elevate the overall dining experience, by providing detailed content of dishes or how it was specifically cooked or how fishes were caught ... it would fill nicely the waiting time with nothing to do, nothing to put on the teeth.
We had the chance to be mostly served by Kosmas. He was enjoyable, attentive, responsive, with the attitude, knowledge & professionalism, I found in starred restaurants. His contribution made our experience delightful at Milos, even with a kitchen that had difficulty to catch up on speed. & speed only, as the dishes were always tasty, flavorful & delightful.
All in all, one of the very best restaurant in Montreal. If you want extra fresh, tasty, authentic & higher Greek cuisine, you don't have to take a plane to Greece, just go there.
Excellent repas. Merci à notre serveur du soir, Sabir, qui, en plus de son service, nous a conseillé en dessert le Ekmek Kataifi....succulent ! La viande ( le filet mignon ), fut délicieuse & cuite comme je l'avais demandé.
Always a top tier dining experience at Milos. Every single appetizer, main course, side dish & dessert I have ever tried on their menu was delightful. The quality & freshness of the fish/seafood is evident, & the preparation & flavours of each dish are remarkable. The decor is elegant, & the ambiance is sophisticated & inviting. The waiters are gracious & very knowledegable ; service is impeccable! Milos ranks amongst the greats of Mediterranean cuisine, for good reason, & is undisputably the best Greek restaurant in town.
After having enjoyed our anniversary dinners at Milos for the past 20 years, I have to say that last evening was quite the expensive disappointment. The meal started off nicely with our glass of champagne, followed by our tasty (as usual) greek salad appetizer. We're not the biggest eaters but we do enjoy the quality of food that is typical at Milos. After discussion with our waiter, Damian, we opted on sharing a grilled grouper with 2 sides & a lovely Greek pinot noir wine. We again mentioned that we don't have the biggest appetites but look forward to enjoying the fish dinner. We were served the grouper only to find it bland & definitely overcooked (we both love to bake/grill fish so we definitely knew it was overcooked). Expecting a moist, tender fish, we were sorely disappointed. We ate about half before we gave up on it. My husband shared his disappointment with Damian who sympathized & brought us 2 desserts'on the house'. We had ordered 1 & brought the other home. The'icing on the cake' was the cost of the Grouper alone... $262.71. As mentioned, we shared many special dinners at Milos but this price was a first. The total bill for the above meal came to over $600.00 plus tip. Our bottle of wine was $155.00 which was fine. I agree we should have asked the market price but I wish our waiter would have shared more information in this regard & also ask us what size/weight of fish we would like. In the past, many of the more experienced waiters did just that & we never had issue. Also, we've always thoroughly enjoyed how our fish was prepared. Sadly, we will likely move on & opt to look elsewhere for our special celebratory dinners.
If your website offers oysters as an appetizer for lunch
Please do not tell client that it is a n old website
Update your website or be gracious.
& remember- older women tip well if they are treated well.
Lamb was lukewarm & fish was not up to Milos standard.
& if it is a birthday & you put the candle on the wrong dessert don't tell the person to blow on it anyway.
It takes two seconds to correct & do it right.
& if I ask for Sauvignon Blanc don' t give me something that is not.
& don't tell me that a real Sauvignon Blanc costs more than I-was willing to pay.
I have been to fund raisers & dinners at Milos & this was not up to your standard at all
If I could this place more than 5 stars I would. Yesterday we had the most incredible food. We ordered calamari, tuna tartare , milos special, Greek salad for our main we ordered a 4lb lobster pasta & cote du beouf & for dessert we had baklava ice cream & ekmiek. Our waiter Angelo was amazing. He was so patient with us we were going to order more food & he took us this way more than enough & boy was he right. He explained a few dishes to us & always made sure we were good. I highly recommend this place.⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
