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.
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!
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 ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
It was good but we felt it was a bit overpriced for what we received. We had the shrimp which was a main but it didn't include any sides, just three pieces of shrimp on a plate. We also had pasta which was pretty plain. The Greek salad on the other hand was excellent.
J'y suis allé avec un couple d'amis, il y a environ 1 mois. La laitue n'était pas fraiche dans les salades & les plats principaux n'étaient pas à la hauteur de ce que j'ai eu comme expérience avant la pandémie. Dommage !
We went to Zante for my aunts birthday, we were 11 people. They have a'set menu' 80$ per person. They put appetizers on the table to share then everyone picks their own main out of some choices. We waited so long to get the appetizers, one of them was the Greek salad so that should have been quick. No joke like 45 minutes until we got some food. Everything was visually pleasing but didn't satisfy. The waitress was really nice but when it was time to pay & we asked for split bills & her annoyance was spread across her face. She ended up confirming everyone's orders ( each couple ordered their own drinks ) then came back 25 minutes later & stated that any party over 10 people they don't split bills it's too complicated. It was a big turn off. As a waitress the first thing you should ask before anything is if it's just 1 bill or separate. I could have gone back there & done the math. We ended up just averaging the amount each of us had to pay & putting it on the machine separately but come on.
