Le Jardin De Panos is widely regarded as a classic Montreal Greek restaurant with generous portions, solid value, and a warm, convivial atmosphere.

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.
The food tastes delicious, the ambiance is great too. The place is beautiful, even with the roof closed, in summer is stunning. The service is top tier, very friendly & professional servers. & the prices are quite affordable for the QUALITY of the food, which is VERY good quality Greek Food! I am almost inclined to gatekeep this place…
The food at Jardin de Panos is excellent & the wait staff experienced. My only complaint is that they seem to be too used to saying no. I have a gluten sensitivity & asked whether I could have a bit more crudite' with their appetizer platter so as not to be tempted to eat their bread. I was flatly refused. Really? What is the cost of a couple of slices of cucumber, carrot or tomato?
I would have happily paid extra for it. After the meal my wife & I chatted up the waiter who has an olive orchard on a Greek island & we recommended a museum show. It was fun. Next time in Montreal we will likely return. Great value, but they should be better at Yes when it comes to food allergies.
Disappointing at best... We couldn't find anything that we could describe as Greek... My salmon was... poached & flavorless. A friends lamb chops were seriously tasteless. There was no spice in anything, except the $8 incredibly small'dollop' of tzatziki & the salty salad. The server tried her best, particularly when two of our four meals were served ten minutes before my other two friends received their meals... This was the first time in years we chose Jardin du Panos because La Maison Grecque, right down the same street, has always been - & will continue to be - our'go to' Greek restaurant.
A classic Greek restaurant funded in 1979 . Very cold lamb was served & it was disappointing . Very slow service & they didn't care that much. Reasonable price /quality ratio. Bring your own wine.
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!
Always a pleasurable experience at our favourite Greek restaurant in Montreal. Our only dissapointment was not being able to purchase Retsina wine at the SAQ stores to accmpany our dining experience.

My husband is gluten sensitive & we are both vegetarian. We had a delicious meal here. Started with the halloumi & eggplant salad. Then he had the ratatouille & I had the Greek village salad. Everything was super delicious & fresh. The outdoor courtyard was lively & charming. Considering going back for another meal during our short trip!

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
I love Greek cuisine, but it's the first time I've tried Moussaka & I wasn't disappointed. Absolutely delicious! The béchamel sauce goes perfectly with the minced beef & eggplant. My only disappointment was the house salad that came with it, was rather bland.
