Review Summary

Reviews paint Petros as a warm, family friendly Greek spot where the food is fresh and savory and the portions are generous, with service that is attentive and friendly, often described as a highlight of the night. The atmosphere feels authentic and welcoming, suitable for celebrations and groups, though it can be a bit noisy with children and lively conversations. A notable strength is accommodating special dietary needs, including shellfish allergies, with care taken to avoid cross contamination, and the BYOB policy is a popular perk since there is no wine license. Dishes such as seafood, lamb, octopus, and zucchini are frequently praised, while a few critiques note small portions for the price and occasional bone in fish, with room for improvement like greener vegetables alongside the rice and potatoes. Overall, diners repeatedly say it’s worth returning for reliable quality, consistent freshness, and a hospitable experience, with many calling it a favorite for family outings and celebrations.

I can see why this place is a family favorite.

Good, high-quality & fresh ingredients. Not every dish was a home run for me but all around a great dining experience. I highly recommend the grilled octopus, the fried zucchini, the lamb, & the calamari. Unfortunately I would say skip the Greek salad. It was 95% tomatoes & the tomatoes were not good. Also, you can skip the steak.

Without question, the BEST Greek food I've had in Montreal. We were a group of about 20 for a Baptism celebration. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Anastasios who served as waiter & Maitre-D, & who made us feel as if we were family joining him for a meal. The delicious fresh food began the moment we sat down & didn't stop coming till we were bursting at the seams. First the warm fresh bread loaf with oil & Greek herbs, followed by nice & thick tzatziki (garlic spread), delicious spanikopita (cheese & spinach feuilleté), typical Greek salad with a terrific dressing, the most tender calamari & crisp zucchini chips, both battered & fried to perfection, grilled Greek-recipe chicken breast, salmon filets which melted in your mouth, all with accompaniments such as Greek potato wedges, roasted corn on the cob & fluffy rice. Then there were the desserts - light & spongy vanilla cake, a panoply of festive macaroons & loukoumades (fried dough balls drizzled with honey), all served with traditional Greek espresso. Wow what a feast ! The menu is extensive, the food traditional & exemplary. The serving staff was also impeccable, constantly making sure you were properly taken care of. Whether in a group or with friends & family, you will NOT be disappointed at Petros Taverna Westmount !

I have been here twice since April. Both times have been excellent. I really like that you can order half portions. They are really generous portions though. The half portion of calamari here is like a full portion in some other establishments. The calamari was lightly breaded, hot & crispy. The Greek salad was good, as was the tzatziki. The grilled octopus was the star of the show, tender & nicely charred. The first time I went it was not as good as it was bit undercooked & rubbery. Maybe a bad day in the kitchen? But, this time, perfection. The loup de mer was very tasty, The service was so fast, it almost felt like we were being rushed, but we took our time. The place was packed for a Friday night with groups & private party downstairs. Would definitely go back.

I've been coming here for years, but I wouldn't call myself a regular. Whenever I bring guests who have never been, they're always very pleased. This was the case again last week. My companion & I were very happy with all our selections. We had the fried calamari & the zucchini chips for starters & the red snapper & lamb chops as our mains. Everything was served hot & fresh with portions so large we had to leave quite a bit on our plates. The lamb chops were the best I'd had in quite some time. Tender & succulent, & they were able to accommodate my preference for them to be served rare. Staff were friendly, as usual, but service was slower on this particular visit than normal. Nice that it's a BYOB with a corkage fee, but we weren't drinking that evening. Prices have risen steadily over the years, but that's the case almost everywhere. I would consider them competitive, especially given the portion sizes.

I was very happy to find a Greek restaurant in the heart of Westmount. The food overall was good. Fried calamari portion was generous, Greek salad had fresh vegetables & authentic feta cheese (quite a challenge to find it in Montreal), shrimps in the main course were big & delicious. However, I was not happy with the sides of the shrimp dish, specifically carrot tasted horrible (as if its expired), potatos & rice on the same plate made no sense at all. The restaurant ambiance is amazing, rustic Greek decor & plates are very well picked. Cheers to the hostess at the entrance, what a lovely girl, so helpful & friendly!

We decided to stick to appetizers & share a bunch. WOW! The best Greek salad I've ever had- delicious zucchini chips & excellent Calamari. I can't wait to visit again for the main course! Thank you, Petros!

Great atmosphere on the ground floor, a bit cramped in the basement. Well done Greek style decor throughout. Waitstaff was very good; friendly, knew the menu & attentive. Some a bit overeager to clear unfinished plates. Front desk host seemed uninterested; just waved me over to our reserved table. Greek salad, roasted vegetables, grilled mushrooms were excellent. Saganaki was average, spanikopita was soggy, fried calamari oily & over battered, grilled swordfish was overdone & dry. Lamb was very good.

The food here was excellent. Many people in our group ordered the lamb chops & they were cooked very well. The fried zucchini & calamari were also very good. My group went to Petros for our team holiday dinner. When we were seated we specifically mentioned to the waiter who showed us our table that everything would be on separate bills. When our waiter came to take our orders, he insisted on bringing platters of appetizers to our table instead of taking everyone's individual order. Luckily, they were dishes that we all liked & wanted. The fried zucchini & calamari were very good, however, when it came time to get the bills he seemed baffled that we all wanted separate bills, & asked us how the appetizers were supposed to work. We all ended up splitting the appetizers, but it was frustrating. Especially considering we specifically said that we wanted separate bills from the start. Our waiter was very good, & when I said I wanted my lamb chops medium rare, he advised that it was better to take them medium, as the kitchen had a tendency to under cook them. & he was absolutely correct. I ordered them medium & they were cooked exactly to my liking. But as nice as our waiter was, I would have appreciated him listening more to our group so we could have avoided the confusion when it came time to pay the bills. I would never want a waiter to become a customer service robot, but he could have listened to our group more, rather than assume what was happening.

I love the atmosphere & the decor. This may sound weird, but the plates are some of the prettiest I've ever seen in a resto.

Food wise, I enjoyed the appetizers more than my main course (the steak, which I found a little fatty, tbh). The calamari, the dips, & the meat platters are all worth it.

FYI, the menu is incorrect - the steak does not come with potatoes & veggies as claimed, but rather, it comes with a side of fries.

Petros Westmount is undoubtedly a standout dining destination in the heart of Westmount, Montreal. With a warm & inviting atmosphere, this restaurant offers an impressive culinary experience that, in my opinion, deserves a solid four out of five stars.

What sets Petros apart is its commitment to delivering delectable Mediterranean cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a charming ambiance that combines modern elegance with a touch of traditional Greek decor. It's the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or a special celebration.

The menu at Petros Westmount is a true culinary delight. With a focus on fresh ingredients & authentic flavors, every dish feels like a journey through the Mediterranean. The selection of appetizers, from crispy calamari to savory spanakopita, is a testament to the chef's dedication to quality.

One of the standout features of Petros is its seafood offerings. The grilled octopus is a must-try, tender & bursting with flavor. The fish options are equally impressive, with choices like the whole sea bass cooked to perfection.

Service at Petros Westmount is friendly & attentive, adding to the overall positive dining experience. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu & wine selection, which enhances the meal even further.

While the overall experience at Petros Westmount is exceptional, there is room for improvement, which is why I rated it four stars instead of five. The pricing can be on the higher side, so it may not be an everyday dining option for everyone. Additionally, the noise level in the restaurant can be quite high during peak hours, making it a bit challenging for intimate conversations.

In conclusion, Petros Westmount is a fantastic choice for Mediterranean cuisine lovers. Its delectable dishes, charming atmosphere, & attentive service make it a dining experience worth savoring. While there are minor drawbacks to consider, the overall quality of the food & ambiance make this restaurant a solid four-star destination for a memorable meal.

The service is great, very kind, & professional. It's old school style (all man waiter). The food is good, calamari, shrimps, potatoes, veggies, salad. I had the tomahak pork chop. The piece was very nice. I asked medium buy it was well done so i was disappointed. BYOW is great I felt the 5$ charge to uncorked & recycling is a bit excessive. Maybe you can uncorked at home & bring back your bottle to save the fee...

� This is my review after the sixth visit. Nestled in the heart of Westmount, Petros is a Greek culinary haven that I recently had the pleasure of experiencing. From the moment I stepped in, the restaurant's beauty struck me - a perfect blend of traditional Greek charm & modern elegance. The warm lighting, rustic decor, & inviting atmosphere set the stage for a memorable dining experience, complemented by the company I was fortunate to share it with. 😍

� As I settled in, it became evident that the restaurant was understaffed, with only one waiter & a pair of hostesses attending to the entire dining area. While this didn't dampen the overall mood, it did extend the waiting times, testing our patience ever so slightly. 😕 The presence of the manager was noted, though his involvement seemed limited when it came to assisting the team during peak hours. It would have been a plus to witness a more hands-on managerial approach. .0246974398934E+34;

🥗 Now, let's delve into the culinary delights that Petros had to offer. The Greek salad, a true hallmark of Mediterranean cuisine, was a burst of freshness on the palate. The generous cuts of tomatoes provided a juicy & tangy counterpoint to the crisp lettuce, cucumbers, & olives. The dressing, a medley of olive oil, lemon, & herbs, tied the elements together harmoniously. 😋

🦑 A standout among the appetizers was the grilled calamari. The delightful char on the tender rings of calamari showcased the kitchen's mastery of grilling, while the seasoning brought out the natural flavors of the seafood. The dish disappeared from the table in no time, leaving behind satisfied smiles all around. 🦑

🍣 For the main course, I decided to embark on a seafood journey, opting for the trio of salmon, grilled shrimp, & swordfish. The fish was beautifully cooked, each variety carrying its unique taste & texture. The salmon, delicate & buttery, practically melted in my mouth, while the swordfish offered a firm & succulent bite. The grilled shrimp, marinated to perfection, provided a satisfying crunch that paired wonderfully with the seafood's tenderness. 🍤🐟

🥦 Alas, not every dish was flawless. The green beans, which had the potential to shine as a delightful side, were unfortunately let down by an unexpected mushiness. It was a minor setback, considering the overall quality of the meal, but still worth mentioning. 🥦

🍷 Petros brings forth a commendable Greek dining experience that marries picturesque surroundings with a medley of flavorful dishes. While the service might have experienced some bottlenecks, the delightful food & charming ambiance ultimately prevail. A visit to Petros promises a journey to the heart of Greece's culinary traditions, where the flavors transport you to the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean. 👍🌟
