First time but not the last one! It was one of the best Greek restaurants in town! Our waiter Perry & Dimi was the best ! Definitely will come back back! George busboy one of the greatest guys .
Nice little Greek resto, near Marche Centrale. authentic place with nice selection of food, like the separate plates, instead of piling it all on one plate.

Went during rush hour, the place was quite busy & hectic. Ended up getting our order to go. The food was good, & the portions were huge. The Greek chicken was a highlight.
My absolute go to place for Greek food. We have been enjoying Nostos for years. First with the original owners & now with the new. The quality of the food & the experience only gets better.
I'm a pure foodie I know good food. I also love Greek food so I've been to many Greek restaurants in this city. Hands down this restaurant is in my top 3 & we eat there at least twice a month. The grilled chicken is by far the best you'll get in Montreal. We always order it with a big Greek salad & a plate of rice. The food is fresh, the chicken is off the chain amazing & the service is very good. Definitely 5 stars.

The food is good. Especially the chicken. Friendly polite service. A good assortment of Greek ala Portuguese food. A place worth discovering. Good place to dine with your family. Prices are reasonable even though they have gone up a bit. Not upper scale, not fast food either. If you are a beer drinker the draft beer is good & inexpensive. Sorry for my spelling of draft. Anyway it's worth the experience. The chicken is their specialty.
We have been Nostos clients for many years & there is a few good reasons
Their food is just delicious
The staff is very friendly
The place is kept clean
Even the guy at the cash register is super nice & always smiling to the happy customers
Sometimes we pickup take & sometimes we dine in they are super equipped for both
We dined in this week & ordered the 1/2 chicken meal with fries & salad
The chicken came in a short while & arrived hot along with the fries
The olive oil that they use on their salad is amazing & very tasty & portion size is perfect
The chicken is always very juicy & that extra squeeze of lemon on it adds that zing we like
Their food never disappoints
If you like souvlaki & doner sandwiches you will love theirs
Served on authentic Greek bread not pita
Their tzatziki sauce is amazing just the right amount of garlic
We will be going back again next week for sure
Good food & great service! The staff was friendly & attentive, making the experience enjoyable. The decor is cute & has a charming, traditional feel, though it does feel a bit dated. The dishes were flavorful & well-prepared, but they leaned a bit on the heavier side-definitely more suited for an older clientele. Some items were a little too oily for my taste, but overall, it was a nice meal. Worth a visit if you enjoy classic Greek comfort food!
If you're looking for top-notch Greek food paired with exceptional service & a great ambiance, this is the place to go. I can't wait to return & try more of their amazing menu! Highly recommend!
Nostos has great food with a great ownership that tends to people's taste. Ask for the whole chicken cut up & ask for parmesan cheese to coat that delicious chicken. Home made Greek salad with olives & Greek feta as your side. Now you're eating Greek food.
