What a wonderful evening at Terrasse Thanos! Angelo & the entire staff took amazing care of us. Every single bite was delicious - beautifully plated & cooked to perfection. We enjoyed a family dinner on the spacious patio & had a truly memorable time. Highly recommend this spot, & we'll definitely be back next time we're in Montreal. Thank you for making our night so special!!
Nous avons mangé sur la terrasse chauffée en octobre. Salade grecque & spanakopita en entrée. (Désolé, le spanakopita est disparu trop rapidement pour être photographié). Assortiment de grillades Thanos en repas principal, le tout terminé par un vrai yogourt grec au miel. Un bref voyage en Grèce grâce à une expérience me rappelant les typiques taverna grecques. Recommandé!
Telling you now, as a chef with over 33 years of experience, that Angelo & his team over at Terrasse Thanos are making some of the best food to come out of Montreal in a good while. I have eaten there more than once, & have never had a single complaint. You can taste the love & craftsmanship & skill that goes into every plate there. The atmosphere is warm, authentic, & inviting. Do yourself a favor, & make a reservation. You will not be disappointed!!
Terrasse Thanos is a really enjoyable spot with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We tried the calamari, the starter platter (a generous mix of bites to share), the platter of meats, & their homemade cheesecake. Everything was delicious. The calamari was fresh & well-seasoned, the starter platter was full of variety & perfect for sharing, the meat platter was generous & full of flavour, & the cheesecake tasted truly homemade & was the perfect way to end the meal.
The Greek potatoes that came with the meat platter might just be the best I have had, they were perfectly cooked, seasoned with olive oil, lemon, garlic & oregano.
It is also bring-your-own wine (BYOW), which makes the experience even better. The staff & owners are amazing, very welcoming, & they make you feel right at home.
A great place to relax, enjoy good food, & have a comfortable evening. Definitely worth visiting.
Terrasse Thanos is such a great restaurant! The owner is very nice, the staff is great & very friendly. The food is to die for!!!! It is delicious! & the cheesecake is exceptional! I had an outstanding experience there & will most definitely visit as often as possible!
La cuisine est excellente. Le service remarquable. L'option'apportez votre vin' est superbe. Compte tenu de la disposition d'une section des tables, beaucoup de familles viennent là pour des anniversaires. Des enfants sa crient & court après les repas. Faut considérer cette situation & opter pour la terrasse quand la météo est propice.
We just had a baptism here this past weekend & everything was phenomenal!!! The service, the FOOD, the atmosphere. Some of the best Greek food I've had in a long time. Everything was so fresh. You walk out of their feeling like family. The owner is so welcoming & the staff was great! They have a beautiful terrasse as well. I definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic Greek food & atmosphere & looking for a change of scenery & a good time!
We visit Terrasse Thanos at least once every other month. It's definitely worth the drive into the city. Despite its location, we usually find parking. & if we need to park a bit farther away, well, it's a great excuse to burn off some of the calories we've consumed! The food is superb-everything from the appetizers & dips to the pizza & mixed grilled meat platter is delicious. Oh, & we love their Greek dessert, galaktoboureko! Angelo & his team create a welcoming atmosphere. A special shout-out to our regular waiter, Thanassis, who truly embodies excellent customer service! Bonus: it's a BYOW establishment.
We visited Terrasse Thanos for supper last week & loved it. The food, the decor, the ambience, the service... everything was perfect. We will definitely visit again soon. An amazing restaurant.
