I recently visited Zante restaurant for a dinner date & it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Loved, loved, loved everything about this place!
Everything we ordered was delicious, light, fresh, cooked to perfection & well balanced. Fantastic cocktails & impressive wine list.
The ambiance was delightful, the setting warm & inviting. Atmosphere was very lively (Saturday evening!). Service was top notch, our server was professionnal & helpful. I loved his honesty about portions sizes/food choices.
Has to be one of the best Mediterranean restaurant in Montreal, highly recommended for a fine dining experience.
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.

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 ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

What a restaurant.. These people know what they're doing. This is the most Greek authentic food you can get in Montreal when it comes to Greek Mediterranean food. The flavors are robust & vibrant, perfectly capturing the essence of Greece. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that transports you straight to a taverna on a sun-soaked island. The service is impeccable, with staff who are passionate about the cuisine & eager to share their recommendations. Each dish is crafted with fresh ingredients & traditional recipes, making it a culinary experience that is hard to match. Don't forget to try their homemade zukini with tzatziki deep ,tge octapus akd lambchops they are simply divine! This is not just a restaurant; it's a love letter to the Mediterranean, & a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Greek cuisine.
A little on the pricy side, but worth it. The food is awesome & the service impeccable. Tell them what you want & they will get it for you. Love their lamb.
J'adore ce resto! J'y suis allé à plusieurs reprises & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Tout y est! Excellent repas, service attentionné & professionnel, ambiance sympathique, surtout sur la terrasse.

Visiting Montreal for the first time, & enjoyed an outstanding dining experience at Zantas. The huge shrimp, lamb chops & grilled octopus were outstanding!!
Sat outside & had the Greek salad & the fried zucchini, both amazing. Lots of fish dishes & lamb chops looked good. With several apps - very large - & several glasses of wine the bill was $110 total. & on a mild evening the setting on Sherbrooke is very pleasant. For an informal dinner one of the best we've had in Montreal.
