Absolutely outstanding experience! The food was fresh, authentic, & full of flavor - every dish tasted homemade & perfectly seasoned. The grilled meats were tender, the seafood was incredibly fresh, & the tzatziki was one of the best I've ever had.
The atmosphere was warm ,welcoming, & a cozy Mediterranean vibe. The staff were attentive, friendly, & made us feel like family from the moment we walked in.
If you're looking for amazing Greek cuisine, this place is a must-visit. We will definitely be coming back!
I try one Greek Mediterranean resto everywhere I go & I found my heart at Zante in Montreal!
First being a single diner, I'm not always treated well, unfortunate but true. Not here! Excellent service all around. Started with a perfect vodka martini, followed by a tasty Greek salad & perfectly grilled shrimp accompanied by a really great Greek wine recommended by my great waiter. It was all perfect.
A hidden gem in Montreal's downtown core. We went for a birthday. We had the greek salad, creamy salad, grilled vegetables, lamb chops, salmon, shrimp, side of fries & beans.
Every single item was great. Every hot item came out hot & cooked perfectly.
The service was also 5 star with a beautiful ambiance.
Will be back.

One of the best greek restaurants in the city, & underrated in my opinion. The food & service at Zante are consistently good. They have a DJ sometimes which adds to the ambiance. Great restaurant for a date or just casual dining. I highly recommend. Keep up the great work guys.
Dinner at Zante last week with a group of 6 & everything was delicious. Greek salad, zucchini special, crab cakes, octopus, calamari, & sea bass were all outstanding.
Tiramisu, Greek yogurt dessert, & the loukoumades were the perfect ending.
Great cocktails, wine, service, & ambiance. Highly recommend.
The food was FINE! But this is very basic greek food, good but nothing wonderful nor memorable. As a result, the prices are just outrageous. $44 for an appetizer portion of Octopus with a few bits of pepper/onion or $46 for 3 shrimp, 2 potatoes & 10 green beans - are NOT it. The food isn't bad but for those prices you better be the best Greek food I've ever had & this felt like something I could make myself with a few greek spices. The waitress also didn't seem like she wanted to be there & would cut off us mid sentence. We were the only people there on a Sunday night & you could tell they just wanted us to leave.
Visiting for my first time Montreal coming from Greece, to be in a greek restaurant is always a big bet cause you always expect something'similar' to greek food , the food which is similar to your tastes. It was the biggest surprise for my tasty experience. The food was divine!!! The greek salad fresh in a big portion, the fried kalamari & the fried aubergine & zucchini with tzatziki sauce unbelievable!! The chops juicy melted in your mouth. The boiled octapus & the steamed shrimps unique. Zante s owner & chef are the best ambassadors of the greek food in Canada. As native greek i am so proud of their job & effort!! Congratulations! You deserve every star of my review ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
It was good but we felt it was a bit overpriced for what we received. We had the shrimp which was a main but it didn't include any sides, just three pieces of shrimp on a plate. We also had pasta which was pretty plain. The Greek salad on the other hand was excellent.
