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!
Have been eating at Zante for over 20 years ! From Saint Laurent, to L'Acadie to Sherbrooke street. Always 10/10! Great food! Great vibes ! Absolutely ask for Duli! He's the best & makes the evening even more memorable ! Gorgeous patio during the summer months ! One of the best spots in Montreal! 🔥🔥
Zante was an absolute delight. The atmosphere was cozy, the food was delicious, & the server, Vasili, made the entire experience unforgettable. His kindness, warmth, & genuine care turned a great meal into a truly special evening. I left with a big smile & an even fuller stomach-can't wait to return!
The food was FINE! But this is very basic greek food, good but nothing wonderful nor memorable. As a result, the prices are just outrageous. $44 for an appetizer portion of Octopus with a few bits of pepper/onion or $46 for 3 shrimp, 2 potatoes & 10 green beans - are NOT it. The food isn't bad but for those prices you better be the best Greek food I've ever had & this felt like something I could make myself with a few greek spices. The waitress also didn't seem like she wanted to be there & would cut off us mid sentence. We were the only people there on a Sunday night & you could tell they just wanted us to leave.
