Review Summary

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.

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….

Cuisine chaleureuse & complète, se démarquant dans une variété d'assaisonnements & d'ingrédients. Le moussaka est une réussite absolue. Je crois qu'un connaisseur de cuisine grecque sera réjoui par la correspondance des saveurs. Néanmoins je dois faire une recommandation : davantage de libéralité dans le service de la feta & de l'huile d'olive aux clients - c'est de la cuisine grecque après tout.

Le service est amical & professionnel, l'ambiance est chic (j'applaudis les nappes blanches mais encouragerais un meilleur éclairage).

J'y étais entre amis & nous y avons passé une très belle soirée, bien nourris.

It's been around for 28 years Needs a facelift especially the washrooms Moussaka was delicious. Fried zucchini was missing flavour overall very nice. There is a terrace also.

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