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 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.
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!
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.

Genuinely some of the best food I've ever had in my life, had no complaints about anything food-wise at all everything was simply delicious. The service was amazing too with really cool, friendly, fun staff. Overall an amazing dining experience I 100% recommend.
Recently visited this restaurant just by pure chance, because, damn, were far away hungry I want to immediately note the service was great. It is obvious that the person has been working there for a very long time, & he knows what great service is.I am a small fan of Greek cuisine, but everything was delicious. Not just chic, but delicious Atmosphere If you like old authentic places, this is absolutely right for you. So, I can recommend this restaurant. 🙏 thank you

Amazing.... I mean amazing authentic Greek food with everyone... I mean everything was cooked beautifully... Although Alittle on the more expensive side , you do get for what you paid for in term of quantity & quality. Recommend the plate of meats if your a meat lover.... Promise you won't be disappointed
Restaurant de très bonne qualité gustative avec personnels accueillants & souriants. Ma soirée avec mes amis à été excellente. Rien à redire & ça c est rare. Je ne peux que vous recommandez d y aller.
