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.
Exceptional seafood experience. Everything was outstanding from start to finish. We began with a beautifully fresh salmon crudo, light & perfectly balanced with citrus & olive oil. The Greek salad was crisp & vibrant, with excellent feta & clean flavors. A delicate fish cake served over white beans was rich yet refined.
The highlight was the Balaka fish - incredibly fresh, expertly grilled, moist, & simply dressed with olive oil, capers, & herbs, letting the quality of the fish shine. Even the roasted potatoes were memorable, perfectly cooked & infused with rosemary & olive oil.
The wine selection was a very pleasant surprise & paired beautifully with the seafood. Service was attentive, professional, & warm throughout. One of the best seafood meals in Montreal. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Delicious tomato salad. One of the best tasting Greek salads I have ever tasted. Their milos special with the fried zucchini & eggplant tower is delicious as well.
Don't forget the yogurt martini. Simple but delicious with some candied orange peels on top.
Eating well in Montreal has become increasingly challenging: high taxes, rising costs, & inconsistent quality often affect the final result. Unfortunately, my experience at Milos reflected exactly this.
The atmosphere & service were excellent-friendly staff & attentive care. However, the food did not live up to the restaurant's reputation. The starters, a cabbage salad with cheese & a small octopus dish of just eight slices, were disappointing for the price.
The main course, lobster with spaghetti, was the real downfall. The lobster tail was already emptied, giving the unpleasant impression of a decorative shell. When I cut into the head, a green paste spilled out, ruining the dish. The sauce-heavy & clearly made with tomato concentrate-overpowered the natural flavor of the lobster, which was rubbery & overcooked.
This approach strays far from true Mediterranean tradition, where seafood is enhanced with fresh ingredients like fresh cherry tomatoes & light preparation. The result was a visually appealing plate with none of the authenticity a food lover would expect.
Paying nearly $400 for two starters & two mains felt excessive. The Milos experience in Montreal does could justify its price but not the reputation, especially for those seeking genuine Greek culinary excellence.
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.
Finally found an exceptional restaurant after 3 years of visiting Montreal. Gorgeous restaurant with good service & delicious food & drinks. Lobster pasta, lobster salad, lamb chops, Greek salad, lentils & calamari all excellent!

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.⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Menu de groupe avec plats à partager(entrées, légumes(brocolis), frites( 1 petit plat pour 6 personnes, salade de tomates , desserts): servis en très petite quantité. Poisson sans goût.
Cafés servis à un bout de la table( nous étions 21) pour 7 personnes, les autres, aucune offre de café ou thé. Au dessert, 5 petites boules (grosseur d'une balle de golf) de crème glacée , pour 6 personnes . On en a redemandé, est revenu avec une assiette de 3 petites boules.
Very beautiful restaurant. I ordered & shared the milos special, grilled sea bream, & also the tomato salad (Greek). I also had the baklava dessert with icecream. Food was phenomenal & delicious. Expensive for what it is but great I went for the first time.
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!

Usually you go to hi-end restaurants & there's always something lacking. But not at this restaurant, hands down the best food, service & atmosphere. Every dish tasted great, especially the lamb chops, friend calamari & geek salad.
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.
This is what would be the pinnacle of Mediterranean cuisine with a fantastic attention to details in the preparation of the food. The quality of ingredients used is as good as it can be, fresh & satisfying. We ordered the famed crab cake, the green salad, fried calamari & last but not least the lobster pasta. Each dish was absolutely delicious & blows out of your mind. While we have had tried the same/similar dishes many time elsewhere before, even in Europe, none could remotely compare. However it errs on the expensive side, but the quality would justify the price & makes it worth the experience
I had high expectations when I went to Milos: they delivered 💯! Simply the best ingredients available, nothing fancy from the chef. Service was impeccable, wine was good & the food was delicious. We got fish, octopus, grilled vegetables & the salad (I recommend them all since they are all classics). Of course if you're on a budget this place might be expensive, but it's worth the price considering the freshness of what you get.

We dined at Milos last night for our anniversary dinner & we were blown away with the service we received from our waiter Carl. He was passionate, enthusiastic & professional .He recommended all of our dishes & they were all 10/10. Absolutely recommend the milos special & tomato salad . The salmon tartare & lamb chops are delicious. We will absolutely be back.
Nous sommes aller manger dans ce restaurant, mon conjoint & moi, mais nous été très très déçu. Nous avons payé 240$ pour une salade grecque & une petite dorade royale sans saveur & trop cuit. Le prix du poisson n était pas justifié. j en ai mangé de meilleur à un prix 10 fois moins cher. Il ai temps que ce restaurant engage de vrai chef grecs. noua avons apprécié le service.
Le repas que nous avons mangé était bon, mais sans plus. Considérant la réputation de ce restaurant, nous avions certaines attentes. La salade de tomates en entrée n'était pas très goûteuse, les tomates étant molles & ordinaires. Le dessert (loukoumades) était décevant. Nous y sommes allés dans le cadre de Montréal à table alors peut-être les serveurs étaient-ils débordés, mais le service laissait à désirer. Nous avons eu l'impression d'être expédiés. De plus, la table qui nous avait été assignée etait située juste à côté du comptoir où les serveurs passent & prennent les commandes. Il y avait donc toujours un troupeau de personnes ayant des conversations personnelles dérangeantes. En bref, expérience plutôt ordinaire.
