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.

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!
We dined there for my wife's birthday. Great atmosphere, friendly staff & prompt service. The crab cakes were perfectly done with large chunks of meat & no fillers to speak of. The aioli that accompanied it had a unique & delicious flavour. I had the Chilean sea bass which was heaven on a plate. Every bite was sublime.
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.
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🥳
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.
