Le fameux restaurant Milos est situé sur l`historique Avenue du Parc, à quelques rues au nord du parc du Mont-Royal. La grande salle au milieu du marché a les allures d'une taverne rustique avec ses tables recouvertes de nappes à carreaux bleues, ses filets de pêche suspendus et sa musique à la grecque.
Les avis sur Estiatorio Milos à Montréal convergent vers une expérience culinaire grecque de fruits de mer de haut niveau, avec des ingrédients frais, une présentation soignée et une ambiance élégante et accueillante. Le Milos special, les poissons grillés et la salade grecque sont fréquemment salués pour leur simplicité qui met en valeur la qualité des produits. Cependant, le prix est souvent pointé du doigt et certains commentaires évoquent des additions élevées pour des plats simples, même si beaucoup considèrent l experience globale comme justifiée par le service et l'atmosphère. L'ambiance est décrite comme raffinée et lumineuse, parfois bruyante et dense lors des soirées ou heures de pointe; les espaces privatifs et le decor blanc evoquent un cadre mediterraneen chic. Le service est généralement mentionné comme professionnel et attentif, avec des notes tres positives sur certaines équipes et des réserves ponctuelles sur la rapidité ou sur des experiences moins satisfaisantes. Dans l'ensemble, Estiatorio Milos est perçu comme une institution montréalaine et l'une des meilleures adresses pour les fruits de mer et la cuisine grecque haut de gamme, avec des options de menu en lunch qui offrent un meilleur rapport qualité-prix et des plats qui restent mémorables.
Review: Estiatorio Milos, Montreal
?If you're looking for the pinnacle of Greek seafood in Montreal, Estiatorio Milos is usually the first name on everyone's lips & for good reason.
From the moment you walk into the Mile End institution, you're hit with an atmosphere that manages to be both upscale & incredibly inviting. The minimalist, airy decor & that iconic display of fresh fish on ice make it clear: this is a temple to high-end ingredients.
?
?The food is, quite frankly, amazing. There is a'less is more' philosophy here that works because the quality of the raw product is so high.
?
The Milos special, this is non-negotiable. It's a tower of paper-thin, lightly fried zucchini & eggplant with a side of tzatziki & saganaki cheese. It's crispy, light, & addictive.
?Whether you're getting the charcoal-grilled octopus or a whole sea bream flown in from the Mediterranean, the execution is flawless. Everything is glistening with their signature olive oil & lemon.
?
The Greek Salad: It sounds basic, but Milos proves that when you have the perfect tomato & barrel-aged feta, you don't need much else.
?The Reality Check is the Price Point.
?Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the bill. To be completely honest, it is a little pricey for what it is. When you're paying $35+ for a plate of (admittedly perfect) tomatoes or $40+ for a side of octopus, you start to do the'restaurant math' in your head. Because the preparation is so simple essentially just high-quality ingredients with oil, lemon, & salt you can't help but feel like you're paying a massive premium for the sourcing & the brand name. It's the kind of meal where you leave feeling satisfied, but your wallet definitely feels the'splurge.'
?
Is It Worth It? Despite the sticker shock, it's definitely not'not worth it.' It's an experience. You're paying for the impeccable service, the'see & be seen' vibe, & the fact that you are eating some of the freshest seafood available in North America. While it feels a bit much for a'regular' Tuesday night, it remains a Montreal staple that delivers on its promises. If you want the Milos experience without the full financial sting, their lunch prix-fixe is one of the best value-for-money secrets in the city.
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.

Food was alright, it lacked seasoning, service was absolutely terrible, not sure who our server was but this was on Tuesday during lunch hours. I used to love this place but the service has gone downhill. Won't be going back.
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
Nous sommes aller chez Milos pour le lunch & c'était très bon! Nous avons été servis par Kosta, un des meilleurs serveurs que j'ai eu, il est très sympathique & excellent service. Nous avons commencé avec des cocktail ; spicy margarita & pomegranate martini! Ensuite pour les entrées nous avons pris la pieuvre, les calamars & le "Milos spécial" les chips de zucchini. Ensuite pour les repas principale nous avons pris la dorade (AMAZINNNG) le saumon était aussi très bien avec une cuisson excellente, pour le dessert nous avons évidemment pris la crème glace au baklava & le petit gâteau au noix de Grenoble, personnellement la crème glace est très très bonne mais le gâteau était so-so. C'est sure que nous allons retourner chez Milos, qualité & fraîcheur sont toujours au rendez-vous!
Excellent food, portions for lunch are perfect, very simple but beautiful decor, service can be a little better, but maybe because it was busy that day for lunch. Great place for lunch or dinner.

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 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.
Excellent food. The prix fix lunch is a steal. Update from 2024-sep-19. Went for dinner with close friends from out of town. The service was downright horrible & left me embarrassed. Waiters weren't able to explain the dishes & what ingredients & portion sizes. We chose some appetizers & asked how big they are ... the response was it is just an appetizer size then ordered some sides that basically included the same ingredients as appetizer, when questioned the waiter why they did not mention this .. the response was ... that is what you ordered. Waiters were whispering behind our backs in very unprofessional way. The quality of the food is still good, but when you spend over $700 for 4 adults it is not a great overall experience. My recommendation is only to visit this place for prix fix lunch.

The food was outstanding the quality was unbelievable they their fish in the morning for lunch & they get their fish in the afternoon for supper the atmosphere was nice there is beautiful paintings on the wall.The service for how good the food was is amazing.
Lunch Menu review. Reserve before you go, it gets busy. Choices of entrees on the Table d'Hote that I can remember: lentil soup, octopus, calamari & Greek salad. At our table we had the octopus which was good. The rest of us had Greek salads. They were ok. For the mains we had salmon & chicken brochettes. The chicken & fries were a huge hit. The salmon served with beans was ok. The tarama is good. For dessert we tried karidopita, galaktobouriko & Greek yoghurt. All ok. The mountain tea is delightful. The service was excellent. The price per person 45$. Good value. Worth going.
Always outstanding lost track of my visits. Nicolas our server was on point as was the food. Brought our employee for lunch to celebrate her. She loved it. First timer. See you again soon.
