Philinos is described by diners as delivering authentic Greek cooking with generous portions and consistently flavorful dishes such as moussaka, lamb, souvlaki, calamari, Greek salads, and a dessert of loukoumades, all paired with friendly, attentive service in a warm atmosphere that ranges from romantic to lively on the terrace; the restaurant is widely regarded as a top Greek option in Montreal, a reliable favorite for family dinners, gatherings with friends, and special occasions, with many noting it as the best Greek in town and praising value and portion sizes that satisfy hungry groups; there are a few criticisms, including a Parc Avenue visit where service and language responsiveness fell short and the food was described as mediocre for the price, occasional remarks about the dining room being loud or in need of an interior refresh, and occasional comments about tipping etiquette, but the overall sentiment remains strongly positive with recurring compliments on authenticity, hospitality, and the ability to make guests feel at home, prompting plans to return and to recommend Philinos to others.

5.0

Best moussaka since Greece. Thick layer of whipped potato & béchamel sauce. Lamb was tasty, Greek salads were fresh, souvlaki was tender. Our water glasses were never empty (& it was 24C out & we were thirsty).
The interior desperately needs updating, looks very 1980….

A HIDDEN GEM with Unforgettable Flavours & Service!!

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Philinos on St. Jean, & it was a standout experience from start to finish. Our group of 34 family members was graciously accommodated right at 12 noon, & the staff went above & beyond to make us feel welcome & comfortable.

They respected our budget without compromising on quality or experience - a rare & much-appreciated balance! The service was impeccable: friendly, attentive, & genuinely warm throughout the meal.

To start, the Calamari & Greek salad were incredibly fresh & flavorful - the perfect light & zesty beginning. For the main course, we were offered a choice of three hot & hearty options, all served piping hot & delicious. Every dish was clearly crafted with care.

But the real showstopper? The Loukoumades. Golden, crispy on the outside, soft & warm inside, drizzled with honey - absolutely to die for.

Philinos has a way of making you feel like family while delivering top-tier cuisine. We'll be back - & bringing more friends next time!

Thank you Spiro, John & Claudio!!

Greek salad was fresh & fun with great presentation. I had the beef moussaka with a mile high bechamel, a generous portion & good flavor.
