Milos Restaurant is located on the historical Avenue Du Parc, a few blocks north of Mount-Royal park. This simple, but warmly decorated restaurant serves starters such as grilled octopus, calamari, Portuguese sardines or crab to name a few.
Reviews describe Estiatorio Milos as a premier Greek seafood destination in Montreal, known for ultra-fresh fish, simple preparations, and an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. Standout dishes such as the Milos special zucchini and eggplant tower, octopus, lobster pasta, and Greek salad are frequently praised, along with a wide, well-curated seafood selection and attentive service that many describe as knowledgeable and warm. Experiences vary on service speed and price, with some diners noting slow or impersonal service and others calling it worth the premium for quality and the overall experience. The venue's elegant, bright setting—with an emphasis on fresh fish on ice and a refined Mediterranean vibe—sometimes feels noisy, and some reviews flag the high price point as a consideration. Taken together, reviews crown Milos as one of Montreal's best Greek/seafood options, ideal for special occasions and fan favorites, while a few caution that value depends on dish choice and timing.
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!!!

Un grand merci a Axel J pour ton service . !! 👌 Excellent service , tres professionnelle & super accueillant. Sans compter la nourriture qui était de qualité 5 étoiles.Je recommande fortement !!
Milos was lively & bustling, with every table occupied. Despite the busy atmosphere, George provided excellent service, taking the time to recommend & explain the best wine pairings, even offering a tasting to ensure everything met our expectations. The food arrived quickly, fresh, & absolutely delicious.
On peut déçu par le service, nous avons eu notre table 50 minutes après l'heure de notre réservation, si on n'avait pas insisté on aurait certainement attendu plus longtemps. Service plutôt moyen, le personnel avait l'air un perdu, mais la cuisine reste excellente, si ce n'est un immense cheveux dans la salade! Bref expérience moyenne!
Milos never disappoints. They have amazing seafood... service... well everything is world class. They pay attention to all the details & the food is clearly made with care. Ive been to several Milos locations & the food is consistently great across the board. Highly recommend & make reservations..

My wife read in a Toronto paper about the owner of Estiatorio Milos who has a number of restaurants around the world. I was scrambling for a place to celebrate a substantial wedding anniversary, & I managed to get a table at Milos. Firstly, everything is true that you've probably heard about Milos. That it is a first rate restaurant. That the food is a cut above the rest. That the decor is perfection. That the service is impeccable. & it is. & maybe that should garner them 5/5, but for me, they're not pushing the envelope. The taramasalata was possibly the best I've had. The frittered zucchini & eggplant is delicious. The bread & olive oil is very good. The octopus was extraordinary. If you don't read this review further, I'd suggest just getting a huge selection of tapas, which are broad an varied. Where it starts to fall down for me, is that it's just a little too perfect. It's precisely what you expect, & nothing more. Nothing less, but nothing more. The service is excellent, maybe just a little too perfect -- & when the server warmed up, it was great. But I did have to ask for a second bottle of water twice from the back waiter. The main dish we ordered was a little disappointing. It was halibut, which suffers from a lack of flavour generally, & in my opinion needs a lot of work to make it interesting. On the other hand, it did represent precisely the way halibut is, & it was subtle with a lovely tomato that had turned into a nice coulis. But it needed more flavour to my taste. The rapini was good -- nothing special, just good rapini. Frites were good -- needed a little more work. So this is a place which presents precisely what the food is, in its most elemental form, & that does require some level of respect, which I definitely give. However, this is 2024, & while it would have been mind blowing in 1979, this is just excellent. & that's where, for me, the fault lies. I wouldn't hesitate to take clients there, because it is renowned, expensive, fancy, & excellent. But in 2024, there are just too many interesting alternatives in Montreal.
Milos is a stunning gem that elevates the dining experience to new heights. From the moment you step inside, the elegant decor & sophisticated ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The seafood here is exceptional, showcasing the freshest ingredients sourced from the finest markets. Each dish is a celebration of flavor & presentation. Service at Milos is top-notch-attentive & knowledgeable, the staff is dedicated to ensuring a seamless experience. They offer great recommendations & are genuinely passionate about the menu. To round off the meal, the desserts are a must-try. The baklava was an exquisite blend of flaky pastry & rich nuts.
I like everything about Milos ! Great atmosphere & food is simply amazing. I recommend to everyone to book in advance since its always busy there. Un incontournable a Montreal !!!
Malheureusement, j'avais encore faim après les trois services du dîner. Je suggère que vous devez ajouter plus de pain. Par ailleurs, j'aime beaucoup le cadre du restaurant & le service était très sympathique.
