Overall the venue is seen as a great choice for groups or celebrations, offering a lively but welcoming atmosphere and reliable hospitality that makes guests want to return.
Great restaurant. It looks inconspicuous from the outside because of the lack of windows at eye level, but inside is a whole other dimension bathed in the Greek flag colours. The food was delicious. You can tell they use quality ingredients & pay attention to details. We had the broiled cod & the tomahawk pork. Everything was fresh & perfectly cooked. The service was quick, the staff attentive & the ambiance was lovely. Our waiter, Marino, was a lot of fun & made us feel right at home. Thank you Marino! We've been to many Greek restaurants in Montreal, Petros is top tier but not pretentious. This isn't your gyro pita & fries joint with tzatziki slathered everywhere. This is Greek & mediterranean cuisine refined & a reminder that it's way more than just pork souvlaki & pita sandwiches. Definitely recommend.
It's been a long time since I had such a tasteful dinner - incredible experience.
& the discovery menu was generous enough to make 4 grown adults feel they had are too much!
I keep this address for a special celebration.
Le poisson était incroyablement frais, parfaitement préparé & plein de saveurs - un vrai régal. Le service était à la fois rapide & très chaleureux, ce qui rend l'ambiance encore plus agréable.
Un grand merci à Marinos pour son accueil & son professionnalisme - il a vraiment fait la différence!
Je recommande sans hésitation, j'y retournerai avec plaisir!
While the food was exceptional, the service truly defined the evening. Marino's recommendations were spot-on, showing a deep knowledge of the menu & a genuine passion for the guest experience. It's the kind of service that turns a simple dinner into a memorable event.
Another fabulous meal at Petros Griffintown made even better & so wonderful by our favourite & most attentive server, Marino! The small Greek salad for two was so fresh & delicious, & our mains of Porgy & Mediterranean sea bass with fresh veg & potato side dishes, were both generous & simply superb!
Besides all the wonderful food & great service, the ambiance was as always, truly warm & romantic!
Undoubtedly, it's the best Greek food in town! Amazing quality for value. The BYOB is an added great bonus! Looking forward to our next visit ! 😁

I had heard so many great things about Petros in Griffintown that I arrived with fairly high expectations. I'm happy to say the experience not only met them - it exceeded them.
From the moment we sat down, everything about the evening felt thoughtfully executed. The cuisine is authentic Greek & Mediterranean, prepared with a refined, high-end touch. Every dish showcased remarkable freshness & balance. The appetizers were beautifully presented & full of flavor, the salad was vibrant & perfectly seasoned, & the highlight of the evening - the grilled fish - was absolutely outstanding. It was cooked to perfection & truly memorable.
Service also deserves special mention. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, & gracious throughout the meal, offering thoughtful recommendations & making the entire experience feel relaxed & welcoming.
Another great advantage is that the restaurant is bring-your-own-wine, which adds a wonderful level of flexibility & enjoyment to the evening.
Petros delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. I will absolutely be returning & would highly recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding Mediterranean cuisine in Montreal.
