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.
The best seafood restaurant! Unbelievable how good everything is! Staring with the Greek salad... Amazing flavor of the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions & delicious Feta cheese 😋 The fish of the day is fresh fish. We enjoyed the fresh Red Snapper & I choose the Chilean sea bass, it was amazing!!!. We also ordered the octopus dish, it was so tender & delicious!! For appetizers we enjoyed the spinach in filo pastry , fried zucchini & eggplant & the tzatziki !!! Very good!! Fresh bread with olive oil & vinegar mmmmmmm good! so good!!! We would highly recommend this restaurant. When you are in Montreal, take the time & have dinner here. You will not be disappointed. The chef truly understands Greek cuisine & all the flavors !! I lived in Greece for almost 3 years & Faros Restaurant Hits it out of the park. Hands down !If you love fresh seafood this is the place you want ! The service is very friendly & accommodating. There are enough tables but making a reservation on a busy weekend is highly recommended. Enjoy!
Still one of those secrets gems in Montreal for Greek food. Fresh, tasty delicious food. Small restaurant with great ambiance. The staff was always around to take care of of us. Great Greek wine selection too.
Delicious food & great service. We had the surf & turf & filet mignon. Both were excellent!! Next time we come, we will try the lobster. Everything was so fresh. Highly recommend for the food, very friendly staff, & the most kind, hospitable owner. A terrific stop on our trip. We look forward to coming back!
We had a big family gathering here & couldn't have been happier. The food was excellent, the service quick & cordial, & what a great space. Thanks especially to Benny & Nico! I highly recommend it.
Delicious food. Veggies were a bit bland & the mains needed a bit more seasoning. This place has been excellent for years! Excellent service, as always.

The food:
I ordered black sea bass & it was not tasty at all.
Also Greek salad was too bad (some sort of BIG tomatoes & that's it!) & not tasty.
Amount:
It was supposed to be 2.2lb but it was like 1lb or less! I went for dinner & i was hungry after restaurant, so i ate at home (I am not fat at all). I paid 60$ for nothing!
Service:
I was waiting very long time for food.
At last, since i was not satisfied, i paid low amount of tip. The waiter was too rude & asked me to change the bill!! so then i did it.

I went there on a Sunday night with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. Couldn't have chosen a better place! We started with a huge greek salad & a delicious grilled octopus. For main course, we followed our waiter's suggestion & had swordfish & lambchops; the plates were delicious except for the side of steamed vegetables that my wife & I didn't really care for.
When done, the owner of the place was kind enough to send us dessert for our celebration. Nice people, great food.
