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 praised for authentic Greek cooking with generous portions and a range of flavors, from classics like moussaka and souvlaki to calamari, taramosalata, and spinach pie; the bring your own wine option adds value for many and prices are generally seen as reasonable; the atmosphere is warm and convivial, with a charming garden seating option and a lively but approachable dining room, though some visits note noise and occasional slower or less attentive service; overall this restaurant is a dependable favorite in Montreal for a hearty Greek meal and a welcoming, festive experience.
So, I walked by this restaurant over the summer & saw how busy it looked so I said to myself that I would give it a try. It's also a bring your own wine restaurant.
I ended up coming here yesterday & outside in the back. It was nice since the roof was open & it was warm out.
When sat down, we had been given bread but unfortunately it was dry. It would of also been nice if they gave proper wine glasses instead of small water glasses. However, we had been given an ice bucket to keep the wine cold.
The chicken skewers had been pretty good although a little strong on the lemon side. The appetizer was good as well but again the bread was dry which made it less enjoyable.
It was nice that we weren't booted after paying the bill. We had been able to stick around to enjoy our wine as the restaurant started winding down.
C'est loin d'un restaurant gastronomique. Curieusement les salades grecs sont servies sans zatziki, pour en avoir il faut demander & il est facturé 7,5 dollars comme une entrée !!!
The server was mad rude, his body language, there was something about the way he was speaking to us, he was passive-agressive, talking about he was in the juice blablabla. Shitty experience

We discovered Le Jardin de Panos on this trip to Montreal & in the space of our week long visit we dined twice at Le Jardin. Most enjoyable both times.
Thanks
Le seul ennui, trop de bruit... excellente cuisine, & accueil, mais surbouqués. Il faut faire la queue & tout le monde ne peut pas entrer. Victimes de leur succès.

Service un peu lent. Après avoir eu notre table nous avons eu le temps de prendre deux verres de vin avant que quelqu'un vienne nous voir.
Viande un peu trop cuite à notre goût. Si non c'était très bon ! Je reviendrais dans 2 semaines !
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.
had not visited in quite a few years, & the experience was even better than I remembered. will be visiting again much sooner next time! Great food, decent prices & great ambiance on the terrace... like a wee vacation!
