Review Summary

Zante offers a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that matches Montreal's vibrant spirit, inviting guests to linger over a Mediterranean menu built on fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Dishes shine with bold, authentic flavors from appetizers to mains, with standout notes on fish, octopus, lamb chops, and a superb Greek salad that many reviewers call the best. The setting is complemented by attentive, friendly service and a lively yet comfortable vibe, including a gorgeous summer patio that adds to the overall charm. While the room can get noisy during busy times and some portions or prices may feel steep to a few, the overall experience is consistently praised as memorable. Zante remains a go-to for diners who value quality, warmth, and a lively atmosphere that makes each visit feel special.

Great food & service. Had the fried eggplant & grilled calamari to start. Then the rib steak & shrimps. Top notch.

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.

Very fortunate to have come across Zante during our trip to Montréal. During our dinner the service was excellent & the food was outstanding. My wife had the grilled salmon & I had the swordfish. Bothe were cooked perfectly. The swordfish might be the best I've ever had in a restaurant.

Would highly recommend & will return on our next visit to Montreal.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We were 4 & ordered the grilled vegetables & the calamari as appetizers, & had the grilled octopus, sea bass & grilled shrimp as our main meals. Everything was fresh & delicious & our bottle of Greek white wine was the perfect accompaniment. Friendly service throughout. An excellent evening!

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.

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!
