Last night my friend & I went back to Petros Lachine for the first time in over a year. The first time we walked in with a bottle of wine, thinking it was the same as the other Petros restaurants we had been to. But it wasn't, we were told we would not be able to drink our bottle, this Petros was not BYOB. Fair enough, we ordered a bottle & paid $60 for something we could have gotten at the SAQ for $20. Last night we walked in empty handed. Our waiter, Lipon, came to serve us promptly, he was courteous, knowledgeable & helpful throughout the evening, but no wine list & only an offer of water, flat or sparkling. Turns out they have now become a BYOB! Oh well, nothing wrong with a dry night every once in a while. We did point out to Lipon though that their website still says they are licensed. The food is still excellent: we had the Petros Special (zucchini chips with tzatziki), which was very good & very filling for two old guys. For mains we each had a fresh grilled fish, sea bass for me, & porgy for my friend. Also both excellent, & decent portions. The accompanying vegetables, rice & Greek potatoes were also done very well, which is something these restaurants often fall down on. This is not an inexpensive restaurant, but it is not outrageous either! One gets pretty good value for the money. The place is looking & feeling a bit rundown though, which one doesn't really expect at this price point.
We went last night (September 21st) to Petros in Lachine. It was our first time there. We were shocked when we arrived & saw the Bring Your Own Wine sign outside the restaurant. We had no idea that this location was a Bring Your Own Wine. Upon entering the restaurant, we were told that this policy came into effect 3 weeks ago. This should have been on the website. We did not have any wine with us, obviously, & there was no store in the area where we could have gone to buy some. We purchased a bottle upon the waiter's suggestion. It was $60 for the bottle which is price gauging at its finest. Taking advantage of a customer who was unaware of a Bring Your Own Wine policy is disgusting. I priced the bottle on the SAQ website & it was $22.35. Had it not been a special occasion, we would never have bought the wine, however, it was my retirement dinner & we wanted to celebrate. We ordered grilled chicken supreme which was overcooked. My husband's plate had one potato wedge & almost no rice. My plate had two potato wedges & minimal rice. Overall, the portion was very minimal for the price. We also ordered an appetizer of tzatziki which came with pita but, again, it was a very small portion for $12. The Greek salad was good but the Psilokomeni salad was bland with hardly any dill flavor. It came with feta which was not mentioned in the menu & I do not care for feta so I had to pick it off. Needless to say, we will not be going back any time soon.

Our family threw us a surprise engagement party here. The private room was super cute! The food was honestly so good. We especially enjoyed all the appetizers! Our tomahawk was a bit dry & still a bit pink, but it was understandable since we were a large group. The service was excellent!! Everyone was super nice, warm, & helpful! Greek food is my favorite comfort food, & I was very much impressed. The restaurant is stunning! I will update the photos on my next visit!
Ambiance grecque agréable, dommage que certains plats furent décevant, le saganaki n'avait pas été flambée à l'ouzo,nous avons avisé le serveur qui est revenu avec un petit verre d'ouzo, a 22$ le plat c'est très décevant. Je crois qu'il n'avait pas compris. Par contre les calmars frits était excellents. De plus il n'y avait pas de table d'hôte même si c'était indiqué dans le site du resto. Ils ne changent pas les ustensiles entre les services, nous avons du demander un couteau. Nous n'y retournerons pas.

FOOD POISONING is how I will start this review. The ambiance was nice the hostess & waiter were great. We were out for a romantic meal to end our day. We started with the calamari which was so rubbery i couldn't finish chew it so i spit it out. They asked if i wanted a replacement meal & i said no i didn't want to take the chance of a repeat. The waitress even had the waiter try it & he also confirmed it was too rubbery. We got the taramousalata instead..this started off delicious & realised it was very salty.. my husband ordered the cod which had no taste & i had the shrimp plate..the shrimp were ok but everything else in the plate was horrible as if made with no effort & not very appealing to the eye.. the potatoes were overcooked in whatever chicken broth they cook it in & the eggplant looked very sad & overcooked.. we were hoping for better since we ate at the petros in westmount & loved every bite. We were super disappointed with the lachine resto.. my husband did not make it home to use the bathroom it all just came right out. I was sick all evening & my stomach blew the next day furosciously... we won't be back.. the atmosphere is amazing but someone has to do better with the food.
We went for my birthday & had the group menu for our party of 13. Jimmy went all the way out to serve us. Beautiful newly built well decorated setting. Mediterranean greek ambiance blue & white. The food (mixed appetizers, salad, grilled salmon, chicken breast, lamb chops) was excellent. Tasty, well cooked.
We (3) went early on Saturday evening. Because we arrived early we were able to choose the table we wanted. The service was excellent. Our waitress was able to help us make the choices that we wanted. Everyone was satisfied with their choice.
