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.
Estiatorio Milos is widely regarded as a premier destination in Montreal for authentic, high-quality Greek cuisine, particularly celebrated for its exceptionally fresh seafood and signature dishes like the fried zucchini and eggplant tower. Many guests praise the elegant, airy atmosphere and consistently delicious food, often highlighting the professional and attentive service provided by the staff. However, experiences can be polarized; while many diners enjoy a flawless visit, others have reported inconsistencies in service quality, occasional communication frustrations, and concerns regarding the high price point relative to the portion sizes and overall value. Despite varying feedback on noise levels and pricing, it remains a popular choice for special occasions and a staple of the city's dining scene.
Gorgeous restaurant. Very expensive, but one of those places that makes it worth it. What's interesting is the main dishes are expensive, but they are normal expensive, the appetizers are the ones that stick out. Fried zucchini for $30+... very good, like extremely good, just expensive. We had 4 people, with tax & tip it was $750+ with drinks included. The restaurant itself is very well designed. Extremely pretty & the service was fantastic. The very unique thing was the waiter who guided us to the fish market area (away from our table) to explain each fish so we could be knowledgeable when ordering. We got the milo special (amazing), the octopus (this was good but not crispy enough imo, but the fava beans on the dish tasted like smooth hummus, very good), the cuddle fish (I think they call it spina, is a traditional Greek dish) which was tasty. For mains we had lobster spaghetti, lamb, tuna, & snapper which we all shared. The spaghetti lobster was the stand out.
Visiting & among what seemed to be a sea of to go places in the area we found this place for a sitdown lunch. Beautiful place inside with very fresh seafood. Lunch was price fixed 3 course menu & it was really good & reasonably priced. Would love to come back for dinner.

We recently dined at Milos in Montreal & had a mixed experience. Although we had a reservation, we waited 15 minutes to be seated. I ordered a specific Greek wine, which I clearly pointed out & named, but they brought a different, more expensive bottle instead. I only noticed this after we left & checked the receipt; the wine looked unfamiliar, though I trusted the server at the time & even ordered a second bottle. We also ordered fish as sashimi, but were advised another type would be better served this way. However, when we agreed to switch, we were told it was too late-a suggestion that felt unnecessary if it couldn't be changed. The food itself, though, was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully prepared, & each bite was a delight. However, we encountered an inconvenience with the billing: instead of individual receipts, we were given one single bill, with no option for separate checks as we would have preferred. Overall, Milos offers outstanding food, but the experience was overshadowed by these service issues. A bit more attention to detail & flexibility could greatly improve the dining experience here.
Each course was both delicious & fresh. The restaurant itself was beautiful.. like we were in Greece. The service....like a well oiled machine. The entire staff worked so hard to give the best experience.
We went for lunch during weekday, it was very packed. The place we were seated was very loud & Can't ready have conversations. The service is efficient & food is good.
This is my favorite restaurant ever. The entire experience was ethereal. It's been over 15 years since my last visit, & it's just got better. They deserve their global success. Well done!!!
