Restaurant Mythos Ouzeri Estiatorio is a Greek hotspot on Parc Avenue in Mile-end, Montreal. A riotous bouzouki band is performing from Thursday to Sunday, encouraging diners to get up and dance on the dance floor (dancing on the tables is also common at Mythos).
Specialties include, fried bread with a pepper and feta cheese dip, mincemeat patties with mint combine with traditional lamb, seafood appetizers and main courses, fresh fish and more. Mythos Restaurant boats one of the finest Greek menus in Montreal. In the summer, the patio is a great spot also.
Across reviews, Mythos Ouzeri Estiatorio is described as a warm, welcoming spot with an authentic Greek vibe where generous portions and well prepared classics such as seafood and grilled dishes meet attentive service and a lively atmosphere, especially on weekends with live music. The ambiance ranges from intimate and homelike to bustling and social, creating a memorable dining experience even as a few notes of noise or cool air and occasional service hiccups are mentioned. Diners frequently highlight consistent quality, nostalgic flavors, and the restaurant as a benchmark for Greek cuisine, though some feel prices are high for what is offered. Overall, the collection of impressions points to strong food, atmosphere, and hospitality that keep guests returning, with caveats about noise, cost, and rare missteps.
This was a few years ago pre covid (Yes I'm late). I've been here about 10 times & have always enjoyed the food & atmosphere. However, our last visit, for my brother's surprise 40th birthday, was disappointing. We opted for the preset menu at $58 per person. I made the reservation six weeks in advance & informed the staff that we'd be a group of 22 to 25 people. The person taking the reservation assured me this wouldn't be a problem & that they could handle it. When we arrived, it was clear they had overbooked that night. The tables were so tightly packed that we couldn't pull our chairs back properly to sit down without bumping into the people behind us, & vice versa. It was incredibly uncomfortable. On top of that, our waiter, who was about 6'4" & at least 400 lbs, couldn't navigate between the tables without knocking into us. The food was good, as usual, but the best (or worst) part came when it was time to pay. Most of us paid with debit, & the waiter handed us the machine with the tip already preset to 18%. While 18% is what I was planning to leave anyway, it's the principle of the matter. As a guest, I should have the freedom to choose whether to tip 15%, 18%, 20%, or another amount. After the meal, they put on a show with a live band that gets on a small stage to play Greek music, transforming the place into a nightclub. There's also a bar just outside the reception area. A few of us stepped outside for a breather, & when we came back, they had removed all the tables & chairs. To make matters worse, our jackets & other belongings had been tossed onto random tables & chairs, leaving us searching for them for quite a while.
We went for a friend's birthday - amazing service, atmosphere & food. Live music in the evening, the server was so very kind & thoughtful - the whole place has an elevated family/local feel to it - made me feel like I was back in Greece, with the live music & the Greek dancing by dinner-goers in the evening. Highly recommend. The slow-cooked chicken - absolutely delicious!
We opted for the group menu for $68/ person which came with several appetizers & main course, all share plates. Problem is when main course is 1 lamb chop, 1 small boneless chicken thigh per person when only chicken is written in the menu & sausage shredded on a cheese graters we felt underwhelmed. Not worth it, avoid the group menu.
Très bonne nourriture, la salade grecque les aliments ont éteint de qualité! Excellente salade grecque Comme entrée également le plat avec aubergines & courgettes frites à essayer sans hésitation! Merci on y seras de retou

Excellents mets grecques. Le poisson & les fruits de mer savoureux. Un accueil courtois & chaleureux. Bref, je n'ai que du positif à dire sur cet établissement, sinon le prix qui était légèrement au dessus de ce que je pensais payer. Merci pour cette belle expérience.

MYTHOS is a place to enjoy the best of Mediterranean cuisine. We had a very pleasant time trying different dishes on the menu . The lamb chops were especially succulent.
