Faros Restaurant specializes in seafood and fresh fish. Known for their succulent shrimps and fresh swordfish. You'll also find on the menu: crispfried slices of eggplant and zucchini, grilled or deep-fried squid, grilled octopus, lobster and soft-shell crab.
Faros is described as delivering authentic Greek flavors with fresh, delicious food and a warm, Greece-like atmosphere, where service can feel attentive and even above and beyond, especially during celebrations. Some dishes, particularly the main courses, are noted as variable, while appetizers such as salad and spanakopita are often praised. The ambiance is generally welcoming and sometimes intimate, though a few reviews mention a cooler or noisier room and service that can feel average in places. Guests highlight thoughtful hospitality, including a gracious maître d hotel and, in some visits, impeccable valet service, contributing to a memorable overall experience. A number of reviewers rate it highly, with some calling it the best in Montréal, and overall Faros comes across as a strong, memorable Greek dining option that inspires a return visit despite occasional inconsistencies in presentation or execution.
Excellent! You definitely feel like sitting somewhere in Greece! Food is fresh, delicious, what is extremely important for fodie person like me😋 Just one table of visitors was so noisy!!!! like they are alone at whole restaurant what disturb others people, what is not related to the service of course!
Cold atmosphere, average service, nice guys but mastery of great service isn't there. For the food, it's great overall but with some hit & miss on the presentation.
Everything was excellent from the food, the service. The atmosphere was wonderful even the valet service at the door was impeccable. I would highly recommend & it is guaranteed. We will return in the near future. Catherine & Richard.
Food was unparalleled! New tastes were there until the last bite! The manager is truly a nice gentleman & would welcome you warmly & opens conversation until the food is there! I genuinely enjoyed the restaurant

Incredible 10/10 we had the grilled squid, octopus, 24 massive oysters, & lastly the lamb chops, everything was delicious! The service was amazing! Thank you, we will be back!
The Branzino & lamb chops were excellent. Started with the chop chop salad (also great). Owner is attentive & welcoming. Prices were extremely reasonable for the high quality( double elsewhere like milos). Thank you for everything 🙏
First of all, I want to thank our waiter Alam for his great service & recommendation. The food was amazing, My husband loves his swordfish steak, it is done just right, The owner was very friendly & let us try the Octopus & it was amazing. If you like spicy, ask them for the chili oil, you will not regret.
