Zante remains a go-to for diners who value quality, warmth, and a lively atmosphere that makes each visit feel special.
My friends & I had a truly exceptional dining experience at Restaurant Zante! The food is remarkably fresh & bursting with flavor - the quality is consistently high. What truly sets this place apart however, is the outstanding service. The owner Costa & the manager Duli, are incredibly friendly, attentive, & ensure that every guest feels welcome. Five stars aren't enough - I highly recommend Zante to anyone seeking a fantastic meal in a warm & inviting atmosphere!
Recently had our annual boys Christmas dinner at Zante & wow, what a night it was! The food was what you'd expect from such a high-quality establishment The waiters were extremely attentive for needs & we missed for nothing I don't know if it's like this every Friday night but we had the luck of having a DJ that was playing fantastic music & the owner, Kosta, Was checking in on all the tables to make sure that his clients were fully satisfied. I strongly recommend this place !!!
Amazing environment & excellent food!!! Great place for a romantic dinner as well as a great place for big parties between friends & families. Staff was super nice & attentive. Thank you for a beautiful evening!
Zante was amazing. The hostess & our Italian bartender were charming, attentive, & very engaging. The food was incredible! The zucchini appetizer, the lamb chops, & most importantly, the grilled chicken, were all delightful.

You can't go wrong at Zantes! The food is fresh & prepared perfectly. Service is attentive, & the cocktails wonderful. The Greek white wine, Emphasis, recommended by our waiter, was delicious. A bit loud for a business dinner, but great for any other occasion!
Zante was outstanding. The menu is diverse, the portions enormous (& delicious), the service attentive & friendly, & the people watching interesting. The Greek salad is wonderfully fresh & big enough for two people. The crab cake appetizer is big enough to be a main & the cakes are all crab meat. The grilled octopus also was large enough to be a main, & was perfectly cooked & tender. The veal chop was outstanding. & the dessert (Greek donuts with honey) were delectable. We definitely will return on our next visit to Montreal.
We are residents of the United State & so I asked my friend who lives in Montreal to give the names of her favorite restaurants to me. Zante was the first name on her list. Now we know why. The food is exquisite- beautifully prepared, very fine quality, a full menu with lots of wonderful choices, & absolutely delicious. Our waiter was charming, professional, & attentive. Prices are reasonable. Come to Zante. I think you will be delighted as we were. Anita

What an experience! As a Greek foodie from locations such as Park Avenue, Fairmount, Decarie, Grosvenor (to name a few) I have to say that the food is top notch. The fish is fresh & done to perfection. Appetizers such as grilled octopus, calamari, the zucchini, eggplant & saganaki "special" was incredibly lightly battered with a tzatziki that wasn't over powered with garlic but rather with interesting hints of herbs. The lamb chops were tender, perfectly grilled & very palatable. The extremely fresh vegetables & well selected Feta (not terribly salty) made for a delectable Greek salad! The staff was extremely attentive & we were looked after constantly where they made sure nothing was missed & that our needs were always met. From beginning to end, this was a 10 experience & I will be frequenting this restaurant often & will most definitely highly recommend!
