Milos Restaurant is located on the historical Avenue Du Parc, a few blocks north of Mount-Royal park. This simple, but warmly decorated restaurant serves starters such as grilled octopus, calamari, Portuguese sardines or crab to name a few.
Reviews describe Estiatorio Milos as a premier Greek seafood destination in Montreal, known for ultra-fresh fish, simple preparations, and an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. Standout dishes such as the Milos special zucchini and eggplant tower, octopus, lobster pasta, and Greek salad are frequently praised, along with a wide, well-curated seafood selection and attentive service that many describe as knowledgeable and warm. Experiences vary on service speed and price, with some diners noting slow or impersonal service and others calling it worth the premium for quality and the overall experience. The venue's elegant, bright setting—with an emphasis on fresh fish on ice and a refined Mediterranean vibe—sometimes feels noisy, and some reviews flag the high price point as a consideration. Taken together, reviews crown Milos as one of Montreal's best Greek/seafood options, ideal for special occasions and fan favorites, while a few caution that value depends on dish choice and timing.
The food here is undeniably excellent, beautifully prepared, flavorful, & consistent with the restaurant's reputation. The kitchen clearly delivers at a very high level.
That said, the pricing has gotten out of hand over the past 5 to 6 years. It feels like prices have nearly doubled, & it is getting hard to justify. Our last visit was around $500 for three people, without any drinks.
Being charged for bottled water at this price point also feels unnecessary. When you are already spending that much, it comes across as nickel & diming.
This used to be one of my favorite spots. The food is still great, but the value just is not there anymore.
Among the priciest Mediterranean Restaurants in Montreal, one is never disappointed when Great Quality Foods & A-1 Service are provided in a comfortable ambiance for many to dine at. Our Salads were sumptuous & the fried zucchini tower was a treat; mind you getting to the tzatziki center core proved to be interesting. The grilled octopus was delicious & enjoyed by all of us who just wanted a'taste'. The steaks that were ordered were grilled to perfection as were the lamb chops that were perfect. Our only issue was these dishes were served with fries instead of being accompanied by roasted potatoes or some other side. desserts were fresh & tasted homemade. The eight (8) of us we all said this was one of the best meals we have enjoyed this year.

Loved the food! The service was a little rugged but perhaps that is the style (IYKYK). They can offer the dinner menu at lunch which helps a lot. No kids menu unfortunately.

I've dined at Milos before & it was one of those overall experiences that stays with you the kind that makes you want to come back. So I did. Or at least, I tried to.
I called to move an existing Sunday reservation to Friday. What followed was one of the most unnecessarily frustrating phone calls I've had with a restaurant. I accidentally said Saturday instead of Sunday when referencing my reservation a slip of the tongue & instead of simply confirming the name & moving on, it became a whole ordeal. I gave my name, clarified the date, & asked if we could move it to Friday instead. The staff member told me she didn't understand what I was asking, even though the request was straightforward: can we come today instead of Sunday?
She offered two available time slots for Friday. I then asked to confirm that the reservation wouldn't be at the bar, since when we had looked online, the bar was the only option showing availability. Instead of reassuring me, she seemed thrown off by the question & circled back to ask what time I wanted as if we hadn't just gone through the options she gave me. I said 20h, meaning 20h30, & she immediately corrected me saying she never said 20h. I know I misspoke by 30 minutes. Again, a completely normal thing that could have been handled with a simple'did you mean 20h30?' Instead it felt like I was being talked down to.
She put me on hold. I hung up.
For a restaurant of Milos's caliber & price point, you expect a certain warmth & patience from every interaction, not just when you're sitting at the table. This call was the opposite of that.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
Oysters amazing. Crab cake could be top 10 I've ever had. Rid eye was terrible. Was hoping at the price point it would be a top 10 steak. Just tasted burnt & that's about it.

This was the first time my wife & I visited estiatorio Milos. We shopping in downtown not to far away to this restaurant. We searched on Google for nearby
a restaurant & decided to have dinner here.
Everything was excellent! The staff were also very nice.
We highly recommend this restaurant. For me, this was the first time I had ever tried such an amazing lobster pasta
Major pressure on this restaurant since it has such a huge reputation, it does live up to the expectations! Definitely best greek in the city, great experience. Some of the best octopus I have ever had. The fruits for dessert were phenomenal.
For the past week, after going to this delightful restaurant experience, I was lucky enough to be selected to take all the leftover Fagri home.
I had never had such a large amount of fish in my fridge before. Over the next couple days, I had many different friends come over to my house, some that were French, & some that were Lebanese, & they all said it was some of the best fish they had had in a really long time.
This has convinced me for sure to plan a fishing trip to that beautiful country soon enough. Maybe even visit the other Milos locations !

Review: Estiatorio Milos, Montreal
?If you're looking for the pinnacle of Greek seafood in Montreal, Estiatorio Milos is usually the first name on everyone's lips & for good reason.
From the moment you walk into the Mile End institution, you're hit with an atmosphere that manages to be both upscale & incredibly inviting. The minimalist, airy decor & that iconic display of fresh fish on ice make it clear: this is a temple to high-end ingredients.
?
?The food is, quite frankly, amazing. There is a'less is more' philosophy here that works because the quality of the raw product is so high.
?
The Milos special, this is non-negotiable. It's a tower of paper-thin, lightly fried zucchini & eggplant with a side of tzatziki & saganaki cheese. It's crispy, light, & addictive.
?Whether you're getting the charcoal-grilled octopus or a whole sea bream flown in from the Mediterranean, the execution is flawless. Everything is glistening with their signature olive oil & lemon.
?
The Greek Salad: It sounds basic, but Milos proves that when you have the perfect tomato & barrel-aged feta, you don't need much else.
?The Reality Check is the Price Point.
?Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the bill. To be completely honest, it is a little pricey for what it is. When you're paying $35+ for a plate of (admittedly perfect) tomatoes or $40+ for a side of octopus, you start to do the'restaurant math' in your head. Because the preparation is so simple essentially just high-quality ingredients with oil, lemon, & salt you can't help but feel like you're paying a massive premium for the sourcing & the brand name. It's the kind of meal where you leave feeling satisfied, but your wallet definitely feels the'splurge.'
?
Is It Worth It? Despite the sticker shock, it's definitely not'not worth it.' It's an experience. You're paying for the impeccable service, the'see & be seen' vibe, & the fact that you are eating some of the freshest seafood available in North America. While it feels a bit much for a'regular' Tuesday night, it remains a Montreal staple that delivers on its promises. If you want the Milos experience without the full financial sting, their lunch prix-fixe is one of the best value-for-money secrets in the city.
Belle deco & j'aurais aimé un petit music de fond d'ambience ... ! Tres bonne nourriture fraiche ! J'ai tous aimé apart les calmars que je trouve qui manque un peu de gout.
