This is an awesome restaurant where you can bring your own wine. We sat in the garden area, even though it was cold outside, they have heaters so we were very comfortable. The service was excellent along with the food! Highly recommend!
What a lovely hidden garden patio inside, & having the sun shades deployed maintained a pleasant atmosphere when the sun came out.
Food & service were also excellent.

great service, warm & cosy athmosphere, wonderful old-style building with french windows & wooden details in the interier. A spacy garden covered by the roof so you can seat there even during the rain. Some authentic greek dishes in menu. Calamari & tzatziki were just perfect, no difference from the ones we tasted in Greece. Moussaka was tasty but not exactly the same as in Greece, though I anyway enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
The Atlantic catfish the fish of the day was excellent. The service was good we did not have to wait too long to order & get our food. We ate outside & it was very agreable. It's fall & it's cold but the garden is well heated.
A Hidden Gem in Montreal Le Jardin de Panos offers a truly delightful dining experience. Nestled in the charming Plateau Mont-Royal area, this Greek restaurant is a hidden gem with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The outdoor garden seating is particularly enchanting, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a relaxed evening with friends. The menu is a celebration of authentic Greek flavors, with each dish thoughtfully prepared & beautifully presented. The grilled meats are a standout, cooked to perfection with a smoky, charred flavor that pairs wonderfully with their fresh, vibrant salads. The portions are generous, & the prices are reasonable, offering excellent value for money. Service is friendly & attentive, with the staff making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Whether you're a fan of Greek cuisine or just looking for a memorable dining experience in Montreal, Le Jardin de Panos is a must-visit. I look forward to returning & exploring more of their menu!
A delightful lunch. Great food, great service, & a very nice atmosphere in the garden. We return here every time we visit Montreal. Don't forget, you can bring your own bottle of wine! It's BYOW. David & Carolyn, New Orleans, USA
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.
Can't wait to try out the garden in the summer! The food was great, & I've had a lot of Greek food! I bought the pork souvlaki plate. Salad was a nice garden dill salad, very nostalgic for me. Souvlaki was tender AF, rice was a nice basil flavor, potatoes we crispy outside & soft inside. Excellent. Atmosphere was great, Greek music playing, Greek decor, a lovely fresco in one of the dining halls, all in a cozy quaint Duluth location. My one complaint is that the bread was cold. Would have been a perfect meal with a warm toasted piece of bread to butter up before the meal! Fried calamari was also excellent! Tzatziki spot on.
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.

It's a pretty coasy place,Greek style restaurant, offers the option to eat inside or outside ( in front of the restaurant as well as outside but still in the middle of the restaurant, descent prices, food is also on the good side, what makes it a good place to eat is the garden style in the middle of the restaurant & the places available for larger groups of people, overall nice food & atmosphere..
Excellent service, beautiful family-friendly location with a secret vine covered garden. Always appreciate a bring your own wine restaurant & the traditional Greek dishes are delicious.
Jardin de Panos us our favourite restaurant in Montréal. There is no more delightful, peaceful garden. We love the birds who eat our bread when offered. The service is routinely professional & pleasant. The food is plentiful, traditional, varied & delicious. The price is right.

One of the nicest BYOB restaurants. It is very well priced & food is outstanding. Their outside garden is one of the best in the city. Service is rather slow, due to the lack of staff which is understandable, but food arrives hot. I highly recommend it.
