Le Jardin De Panos est perçu comme un classique de la cuisine grecque à Montréal où les plats sont généralement savoureux et les portions généreuses, le tout dans une ambiance conviviale et une terrasse agréable; la carte est appréciée pour ses spécialités comme le souvlaki, les calamars et la moussaka, et les desserts tels que le baklava ou la crème caramel, tandis que la qualité reste constante selon de nombreux avis. Toutefois, certains commentaires évoquent un service inégal et parfois lent ou débordé lorsque la salle est pleine, ainsi que des écarts de cuisson ou des plats servis tièdes; l'ambiance peut aussi être bruyante, notamment en terrasse ou en soirée animée. Globalement, l'expérience est décrite comme chaleureuse et satisfaisante, adaptée pour des repas en famille ou entre amis, avec une préférence durable pour ce restaurant malgré quelques déceptions occasionnelles.
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!
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..

Bel accueil. Le personnel était très sollicité avec un grand achalandage lors de notre passage. Service rapide mais peu personnalisé étant donné l’affluence. Les plats étaient correct. Bon rapport qualité/ prix: viande, 2 patates & un mélange de salade. Belle terrasse intérieure. Toutefois, vous ne pouvez pas la réserver. Il faut faire la file!
It started off spectacularly. It's a beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous back patio & nice seating. Our hostess was kind & took all of our orders & the food came back fairly quick. However, we were four people & only ended up getting two pitchers of water throughout the entire meal which was not enough for all of us. At the end, as we were paying, my friend decided to not leave a tip & I followed suit seeing as we are students & don't have the financial flexibility to do so all the time & the service wasn't spectacular. It was in no way intended as an insult but our hostess took it that way. She began arguing with my friend, questioning her as to why she didn't leave a tip & ended up telling us we shouldn't ever come back to this restaurant. She threatened to call her manager over because we didn't leave a tip. I had asked for a box to take the rest of my food with me & she told me that since I didn't think the service was good she should take the rest of my food & throw it in the bin. & she did. She grabbed my box of food & told us to get out, motioning with her arms for us to get up & leave, literally telling us over & over again to get out. She wasn't shouting, but it was a very unpleasant experience. I understand that tipping makes up a decent portion of salary for people who work in this industry but I find it absolutely unacceptable for a hostess to act this way to her customers because we can't afford to tip. I also want to note that my other friend at the table left a sizeable tip. The hostess said we weren't invited back to this restaurant & I will gladly take her up on that offer.
