Review Summary

Reviews describe Philinos as a warm, welcoming Greek restaurant with consistently delicious, authentic food and friendly, attentive service. The atmosphere is lively yet homey, suited to groups, celebrations, or casual dinners, with many parties appreciating generous portions and good value, and BYOW being a popular perk. The chicken souvlaki, chicken platter, and moussaka come up as highlights, along with fresh flavors, strong desserts, and a staff and owner often praised for making guests feel at home. Several groups note smooth, well organized service for large parties, including special events and company gatherings, while one visit mentions a less optimal encounter with the manager who charged for a small bite after rearranging seating, which slightly dampened the experience. Overall, Philinos emerges as a reliable go to for varied occasions, with frequent returns and recommendations for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings, recognizing that prices can be on the higher side but are justified by quality and generous portions.

Philinos has officially claimed the crown as the West Island's new premier dining destination. Bringing the legendary reputation of its Park Ave & Laval predecessors to Pointe-Claire, this spot perfectly blends upscale elegance with a lively, welcoming atmosphere.

?The menu is a masterclass in Mediterranean simplicity. The charred octopus is arguably the best in Montreal, & the crispy zucchini & eggplant towers with thick tzatziki are absolute non-negotiables for the table. Whether you're diving into their perfectly seasoned lamb chops or the buttery lemon potatoes, the quality of ingredients is evident in every bite. While the West Island has no shortage of Greek options, Philinos stands out by offering a more refined,'event-style' dining experience with impeccable service & a great wine list. If you're looking for the best meal on St-Jean Blvd right now, this is it just make sure to book a table in advance.

The service from our waiter was truly excellent, friendly, attentive, & very professional. Unfortunately, our interaction with the manager did not reflect the same tone.

We visited as a group, & two of us were asked to move tables to accommodate a vegetarian/vegan order since they could not eat from almost all of the group deal's plates. which we completely understood & were happy to do. Later, the manager mentioned that he had'seen' one of us taste from a dish &, as a result, charged her the full price of the group deal at the end of our visist, despite it being just a small bite. Our colleagues had simply offered food they were not going to finish, which is something most people do when dining together.

This left us feeling somewhat uncomfortable, as it seemed like we were being monitored rather than hosted. The situation felt strict & inflexible, especially considering the food would likely have gone to waste.

We fully respect that restaurants have policies, but a bit of understanding & dialogue can go a long way in making guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, the handling of this situation created an awkward atmosphere & overshadowed what could have been a pleasant first visit.

I recently organized a holiday lunch for the McGill University Retiree Association (MURA) & it was perfect! Fifty-eight people came to the lunch & every comment we received was extremely positive. The food was excellent & the fact that we could bring our own wine was a bonus. I think that many of those who attended the lunch will be going back on their own or with friends, myself included! Thank you to everyone at Philinos who made this happen & made us feel so welcome!

Food is not bad. A lackluster, rather generic impression including the decor. The administration is somewhat inexperienced to manage discontent.
The 4 star is only for the food.
