Philinos Restaurant & Bistro in Montreal's Mile-End district offers a menu that is influenced from the Mediterranean, with fresh ingredients such as olive oil, calamari, lamb, pork and herbs. Their dishes can be described in two words: simple and savory. The chefs at Philinos rely on traditional Greek recipes for appetizers and customary dishes such as Moussaka, Dolmadakia, and Kotopoulo. Sample Menu: Spinach and feta cheese Pie, Marinated grilled octopus, Grilled chicken fillet, Grilled lamb chops, Home made Greek sausage and other tasty dishes. Philinos offers customers a cozy and relaxed haven in which to enjoy a hearty meal
Philinos is widely praised for authentic Greek flavors, generous portions and consistently solid dishes such as octopus, lamb, moussaka and taramosalata, with service described as impeccable and friendly on most visits. The restaurant is often cited as a reliable choice for Greek meals, offering a welcoming atmosphere that can feel intimate and romantic or lively for groups, and many guests return with friends and family. The menu is noted for variety and strong staples, with fresh salads and well prepared grilled offerings, and desserts like loukoumades highlighted as a standout. While the experience is frequently excellent, a few visits have mentioned a louder dining room and decor that could use updating, and one review notes disappointing service and food for the price along with concerns about language and professionalism. Overall, Philinos is considered a top Greek option in the area, offering good value, consistent flavors, and friendly service, with occasional bumps that do not overshadow the positives.
Very good food, everything to the starter to the main dish, the sides & desserts were so good & would have again. The service was great our waiter was very friendly.
Première expérience. Le service est impeccable, & surtout très rapide. Restaurant, typiquement grec, Beaucoup de choix, & les assiettes sont généreuses. La pieuvre a été mon coup de coeur.

Première visite exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Service impeccable, assiettes très généreuses & gouteuses ainsi qu'une ambiance douce & calme. Bonne bière, Bon vin, Bonne bouffe !!! Je vous le recommande !
The waiter was very helpful & let us know that the portions are large, so we wouldn't order more than we needed. The mixed grill platter was delicious.
One of our go-to Greek restaurants.
Delicious, authentic flavors, generous portions, & great service every time.
We often bring friends, & everyone loves it.
Highly recommended!

They cook their grilled chicken fillet & souvlaki to perfection 👌 it's just amazing. Plus the potatoes taste really good.
I honestly think it's the best place I know for chicken steak
Also they always give my kid caryons to draw on the table cover which is great
Food was excellent ,service from young gentleman not very good cause all the time he played with his phone & didn't pay attention to the table ,the atmosphere was ok ,place wasn't busy .
We were very satisfied: the waiter eas very friendly, he took the time to explain in detail the ingredients of dishes we didn't know, the food was DELICIOUS, good atmosphere & I think it was the owner who greeted all the customers with a big smile. The kids were amazed by the cheese on fire! Will go back again. ❤?
