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.
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.
This restaurant is new to us. Sofitel recommended it & we were not disappointed. In fact, it is now on our list of must go places when we are in Montreal. Excellent fresh ingredients, simply but ingeniously prepared. If you want perfectly prepared fish, you must go. The best salad we've ever had - romaine ribbons, green unions, dill & feta. Sounds simply but it was outstanding!

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!
Visiting Montreal for the first time, & enjoyed an outstanding dining experience at Zantas. The huge shrimp, lamb chops & grilled octopus were outstanding!!
Greek restaurant located in Le Cantlie Hotel, I would say probably one of the best Greek restaurant I've been to. The atmosphere was outstanding, & kept getting better. DJ was on fire; service was perfect - very friendly people. The food was perfectly made; very tasty & no need to say anything about the drinks. Highly recommended for group parties🥳
My colleagues & I have fell in love with this restaurant. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is outstanding, & the service is a quantum leak over most restaurants. I must do while in Montreal.
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.

The place is great, food was fabulous, waitor was outstanding the only thing that was off was the hostess where she didn't want us to sit inside, we were two people & claimed to be full & couldn't of sat us down on a table of 4 , we were well dressed, we were celebrating a birthday. We had reservations. Manager came by & explained that we rather sit inside & told her to give us to table of two that was available & her response was " oh ya ? Okay " . I did not find that professional or tackful.
Food & service were both excellent. Party of 4 - all of us had fish & the quality was outstanding. We enjoyed a lovely evening on the patio. Highly recommend.

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.
A must in Montresl! This is one of the best resturants in Montresl. The food, service , ambiance is outstanding!. This is what a diming experience should be. The food is so fresh,it melts in your mouth. The service is so professional. It will always be on my list & first stop when I am in Montreal.
