Old school Montreal institution, Benny & his team make magic. Key dishes are Greek Salad, house fries, the eggplants chips are tasty & obviously they cook your fish of choice to perfection 👌

Although the crab cakes were excellent, the rest of the food was subpar, especially for the price. But the biggest disappointment of it all was the atmosphere & the service. We were uncomfortable the entire meal, our waiter dropped our food on our table with what honestly felt like disdain, told us they only had wine even as we sat near the liquor window only to redact that statement when I saw them serving beer. My husband loves greek food & we were so excited to have dinner there but it turned out to be a huge disappointment & hands down the worst food experience we have had in Montreal

Wife & I just celebrated our anniversary here.
we started with some Proseco, & had a Greek Salad with a side of Crab Cakes which were decadent. My main course was the lamb chops, grilled to perfection & wife had the grilled shrimp. Both dishes came with rice & vegetables.
For dessert, we finished of with Loukoumades for two & they were so good I ordered another single portion.
We spent three & a half hours there, they do not rush you, & the service is excellent.
The staff go out of their way for you. I had developed a headache while there & the waiter made sure I got some Tylenol.
Benny (the owner & chef) has a good thing going!

Fabulous meal at this very charming restaurant. Service was very attentive & friendly. Fresh ingredients with delicious flavours. The Greek salad was colourful, tasty & plentiful. We enjoyed our experience very much. Will definitely be back & sharing our positive experience with friends.
In a time where some restaurants tend to disappoint on menu items or service, this was a very welcomed moment!

Fantastic every time, the food is always perfect, impeccable service & it is never too noisy. They even have some outside seating now. They are the best greek seafood restaurant in the city. Better than Milos!

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.

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.
