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.

This is not just a restaurant; it's a love letter to the Mediterranean, & a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Greek cuisine.
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.
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.

It's really too bad you can't upload pictures here. Otherwise I would share pictures of the best Greek Salad in the country... Lamb chops from the heavens & it just goes on. An amazing dinner last night with my Wife at the bar. Lots of action & interaction with the Team... Mackenzie made some superb martinis & the wine was delicious. Truly world class. Can't wait to come back
It is a superb restaurant...very comfortable seating & excellent staff. Food very fresh - seafood well prepared & lamb chops perfect. We will return for sure. Also it has a good vibe with DJ & party kicking in after the dining experience
Was a fabulous first time experience & certainly not the last visit! Service was impeccable! Giuliano, our waiter took great care of us, giving us the time we needed to enjoy our meal without being rushed out. Food was delish & well presented. The lamb chops were sublime as were the loukoumades which were compliments of the house. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine Greek meal.

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!
