The kitchen focuses on high-quality meats, charred to order, alongside artisanal pizzas crafted with a focus on fresh toppings and authentic dough recipes.

The staff and owners are consistently praised for being attentive, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming, making the restaurant an ideal choice for both casual meals and special celebrations.

This place is great! My husband & I feel so lucky to have found a traditional, adorable, & yet, elegant Greek restaurant on a quiet street in downtown Montreal. We went for the first time two weeks ago & have been back twice already since. The food is delicious, elegantly served, & the portions are generous. Plus, salades & tasty garlic bread are included with some dishes & both were really good. Couldn't recommend them more. Also the staff/atmosphere is just super welcoming - feels like your in Greece:)
Amazing food & service! I came here with my family, we ordered the sharing platters & it was fantastic. One of the most beautiful terraces in Montreal; it is quiet & peaceful & has a real Greek-feel. The staff were very welcoming & charming &, most importantly, the food was delicious, classic, & well-made. Sincerely recommend this restaurant for those who live in Montreal or are visiting!!!!
Très très déçu, j'étais venu la pour manger du poulpe (octopus) je m'attendais à être service copieusement pour 40$ l'assiette, je me suis retrouvé avec rien dans l'assiette... Plein de riz & patates ce que je n'avais pas demandé & peut être 80g de pieuvre (octopus) ...
En comparaison le restaurant le Hiatus propose une entrée d'octopus à 26$ il y en a 2x plus alors que c'est une entrée & c'est un restaurant gastronomique, avec vue sur montreal rooftop... Donc franchement très déçu, très cheap comme cuisine, aussi les ustensiles ne sont pas assortie on avait chacun des ustensiles différent, je vous déconseille ce restaurant... Sans compter un site internet non fonctionnel...

Notre équipe école a fêté la fin de l'année scolaire au Thanos…. Quelle excellente idée! Angelo nous a préparé des mets grecs succulents. Denis nous a servi avec gentillesse & rigueur. On a tout adoré: l'ambiance, la nourriture & le service! On reviendra!
We came all the way from Toronto first time visiting Montreal the experience at this restaurant was top class, we had no parking, the owner quickly arranged for a spot for us, Food was delicious & sumptuous, the entire staff was so friendly & accommodating, we even got an introduction to the cook, overall fabulous experience will highly recommend this place to any one wanting to dine. I am definitely going back the next time I visit.Eldridge.
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!
No place like this in Montreal! Best Greek food, great service, & love the home made dessert. Very well priced, generous portions, & bring your own wine, while enjoying the terrace in mile end.
We visited Terrace Thanos as a group of three & had an excellent experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding, friendly, attentive, & welcoming throughout the evening. The food was delicious, & considering the quality & portion sizes, the prices were more than fair.
We started with the calamari appetizer, which was perfectly cooked & absolutely delicious. For my main course, I had the rib steak cooked medium rare, & it was done to perfection. The potatoes were excellent, & I especially loved the dressing on the house salad. My friend ordered the chicken breast filet plate & couldn't stop talking about how tender & flavorful the chicken was. My girlfriend had the pork chops plate & loved it as well. The pork chops were incredibly tender & cooked just right.
To finish the meal, we shared the homemade Greek galaktoboureko. As someone who loves this dessert, I can honestly say it was a perfect 10/10. It was so good that I went back for seconds! Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food, generous portions, & exceptional service. We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend Terrace Thanos to anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine in Montreal.
