Amazing restaurant!!! Truly recommend. The food & service were great. We had the zucchini chips with tzatziki & a moussaka, both were delicious. Tzatziki was fantastic & moussaka was delectable. Service was wonderful, they make sure everything is perfect & going well. Honourable mention to the bread they serve when you sit at the table, it is super good!
I've come with my family multiple times & there's a reason why we keep coming back. The food is fresh & savory, the service is great & the waiters are really nice & funny. You don't wait too long for the food. You can bring your own wine. I recommend the chicken, the seabass, & the zucchini. It's really family friendly, the atmosphere is nice but sometimes a bit loud with the kids in the background. Would definitely recommend & will keep coming back !

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'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.
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!
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.
