Located on Duluth Street in Plateau Mont Royal, Le Jardin De Panos restaurant shines with popularity as one of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal. Le Jardin de Panos offers a simple, limited menu, you'll find lamb chops, brochettes, skewers, seafood, fried calamari and moussaka to name a few. Most dishes served with large salads and Greek lemon roasted potatoes. Come and enjoy Le Jardin De Panos' beautiful terrace and bring your own wine as they do not have a liquor license.
Le Jardin De Panos is widely regarded as a classic Montreal Greek restaurant with generous portions, solid value, and a warm, convivial atmosphere. Dishes such as souvlaki, moussaka, calamari and pikilia regularly receive praise for flavor and portion size, and the bring-your-own-wine option is consistently noted as a major plus along with a pleasant garden or heated terrace setting. The ambiance is described as lively and family friendly, though it can be very noisy when busy. Service is a mixed bag: many visits experience attentive, friendly staff and smooth dining, while others note slow or uneven service and occasional mis-timed courses. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a reliable go-to for celebrations, casual dinners with friends or family, and long-time visits, with many guests highlighting the tradition and consistent quality over the years. A few reviews point to room for improvement in consistency, cooking temperatures, and occasional dishes arriving cooler or drier, but the overall impression remains positive and encourages return visits.

excellent Greek food, but expect a very loud dining room because this Bring Your Own Wine restaurant is so popular. service was very attentive but not the warmest - waiter dutifully opened our wine bottle, brought ice bucket, quickly brought anything we asked for (tzatziki, cream for coffee) but seemed very standoffish - maybe it was too busy or whatever. the quality of the food made up for it - very tender &delicious fried calamari (small portion though, & no complimentary tzatziki - you need to order it on the side - but it's worth it), great potatoes, best house salad I've had in a long time at a restaurant, filet mignon cooked perfectly, very generous portion of 4 lamb chops - also perfect, shrimp were tasty but small, & excellent coffee/ dessert (baklava, creme caramel). complimentary bread basket but butter was cold.
Très bon service, le serveur est venu me voir à plusieurs reprises pour me demander si tout était correct. De plus, la nourriture est excellente ( je recommande la tiramisu en dessert).
Un resto calme & cadre agréable le midi. Service très correct, malheureusement, les plats semblent préparés bcp à l'avance & desserts pas fait maison. Dommage pour cette institution !
Très bon service, nourriture goûteuse & bien présentée. J'ai adoré le gâteau aux noix pour dessert. Parcontre les tables sont si proches les unes des autres. Qu'on entends les conversations des autres tables & que ça crée un fond de bruits car toutes les tables lèvent le ton pour se faire entendre à la leur🥲
We go to this Greek restaurant in Plato often, & it is extremely beautiful. 🇬🇷😍 The restaurant's design is particularly enchanting in the fall, with vibrant colors that create a warm & inviting atmosphere. 🍂🍁 The yard tables look especially picturesque against the backdrop of autumn foliage. The food is delicious, & we are big fans of their moussaka. 😋 A fantastic feature of this restaurant is their special offer: if you order before 3 p.m., you get a complimentary appetizer & dessert with coffee or tea alongside your main course. 🆓☕️🍰 Plus, you can bring your own wine, making it an even better deal. 🍷💰 This offer is available even on weekends, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing weekend lunch. ☀️🍽️ #foodie #greekfood #hiddengem #weekendvibes

Quaint, old school restaurant. Fantastic atmosphere & beautiful outdoor garden in the back. You can bring your own bottle of wine.. Food was excellent although it did take over an hour to get my steak. They said it wasn't done right the first time. The gave us a free dessert to make up for the delay. You will need to find parking away from the restaurant as it is on a street that is walk only.
The atmosphère is good with plants & decorations. The food was not that exceptional. I had the cote lever de lamb & I didnt like the taste or cook. The salade & potatoes were ok. On the dessert, the ice cream was very delisious.
Si vous cherchez une place pour super bien manger à midi, je vous conseille Le Jardin de Panis sur Dultuh à l'est de Saint-Denis. Ce restaurant est très réputé pour sa cuisine grecque & très occupé en soirée. Le midi, c'est plus calme & j'ai pris un menu incluant une soupe, un dessert & un thé pour accompagner mon plat principal. C'était délicieux & le service est efficace. Ce restaurant est idéal pour les groupes.
Formidable! Nous avons été servis par Élie...super gentil & professionnel. Nous avons goûté un dessert grecque délicieux. Bravo! Nous avons prit la plage horaire Souper tôt & avons bénéficier de la table d'hôte gratuit...très apprécié. Merci pour la belle expérience.

➖Loved: the Creme caramel, the Calamari, the Tirokafteri. Tried the Galactobouriko before, great for those who like low-sweet desserts! ➖Didn't love: the bread they serve at the beginning / same bread to be used with the dip. They were stale - they brought us new ones - the difference was huge. Was expecting to be served greek pita with our dip... no, we had to use the same soft, thick sliced bread, which was NOT good at holding a dip. ➖Great for: cozy dinner / affordable home made desserts. Good for any group type, from families to couples, many seating areas to choose from. Only strange thing was the rock music in the background (coming from a rock fan).
More or less a 3.5 star experience. We had the lunch special, basically you get a free entrée & dessert. The food was ok, the meat was really good, like really good & well marinated, the sauce & marinades are a big hit. The salads & sides really did not impress me. desserts were also excellent. Of course this place has the teasse that is nice but we were sitting inside. The decor is ok but I din't really like it, felt kind of old & not well maintained. I would recomend this place for like a date or something, its bring your own wine so definitly bring a bottle. Not too expensive 20$- 30$. Nice place, but I had higher expectations. Oh yea, also the white soup is like chiken cream or something & its terrible don't order that. Souvlaki is excellent.
Nous étions un groupe de personnes qui célébraient un anniversaire. Malheureusement notre serveur (E.) n'a pas sourit une seule fois. Il nous a même répondu quelques platitudes & a été bête avec une personnes parce qu'elle n'avait pas compris une subtilité du menu. Il ne circulait pas en haut & on devait demander aux autres serveurs de le faire venir ce qui était long & semblait l'irriter. Nous avions vraiment l'air de le déranger.
Dommage pour lui parce qu'il n'aura obtenu que le 15% minimum.
Dommage aussi parce que la nourriture était délicieuse & nous aurions pris des desserts.
C'est la première fois que ça nous arrive dans votre établissement.

THE GOOD
Had dinner with visiting family in the garden. Other than being a bit dark/difficult to read the menus, the garden is pleasant & lends to a lively & inviting atmosphere. The food & portions were good.
THE BAD
Unfortunately our service was TERRIBLE. Our waiter was consistently absent, each of the tables in his section were left waiting, looking, & asking for him throughout all aspects of the evening. We waited far too long to order, opened & poured our own wine as the ice bucket requested repeatedly took too long to arrive, our orders, once finally taken, were messed up so that the Mezze platter, ordered to tie us over while we waited for our main dishes, came at the same time as our mains which took forever to arrive, getting our bill required flagging down another waiter & asking for ours, who had disappeared, to return. Needless to say, a satisfaction follow-up during our meal was non-existent. Our small section in the garden was the last left with diners at the end of our evening, tables still pretty well fully occupied & other diners still waiting on important elements to their evening — food, coffees & desserts, settling of the bill, etc…
Added to this, upon leaving we caught sight of our waiter on his cell phone chatting while smoking in the shadows of a neighbouring building — this undoubtedly contributed to the random coughs he expelled while leaning over our table, off-putting at any time but especially post pandemic & as COVID numbers are again being reported in the news!
With inflation, dining out is more of a luxury these days & this waiter made our evening a disappointing & rather embarrassing restaurant suggestion to take our visiting family. (I am leaving 2 stars for service as zero stars is not an option so the only elective star is in acknowledgement of the other staff, who helped in locating our waiter when requested & did seem more conscientious & attentive to their sections.
Le décor est toujours aussi agréable avec ce petit côté champêtre. La nourriture est bonne & les portions quand même assez généreuses. Par contre, je ne recommande pas l'assiette de pikalias à 20 $ avec très peu de garnitures (tzaziki, taramosalata)...Le service est courtois, mais sans plus. Le personnel est pressé. On vous sert en deux temps, entrée & sortie & une petite intermède entre les deux pour vous demander gentiment si tout va. On ne s'occupe pas de vous comme dans certains restos français où le client est presque chouchouté L'addition est salée comme dans tous les restos. Une pikalia & une assiette de calmars comme plat principal, un petit dessert de rien du tout à 5 $ & un café pour 61 $ ...pourboire non inclus auquel j'ai ajouté un peu plus qu'un 10 % pour la forme. Je n'étais pas impressionnée. Un peu déçue qu'on ne m'ait pas offert de réchauffer mon café. Heureusement, pour manger à ce prix, on a la possibilité d'avoir mieux pour son argent dans d'autres restos, mais c'est un bel endroit pour se dépayser en ville. C'est un emportez votre vin, mais on n'offre pas de verre à vin mais de petits verres à liqueur avec bords épais.. Alors j'apporte les miens pour ne pas gâcher un bon vin. Pensez-y.
Le jardin de Panos, le meilleur restaurant Grec avec cuisine maison à Montréal & très abordable, portions généreuses, desserts terribles & apporte ton vin. Tout y était. Merci à vous.
