Estiatorio Milos
Chef and owner Costas Spiliadis opened Milos on Avenue du Parc in 1979 to show Montrealers the simplicity of true Greek cooking. The restaurant grew into an international name with locations in several major cities, and its Montreal dining room features an open fish market where diners can see the day’s catch on ice before choosing.
How to get there
Milos is on Avenue du Parc in Mile End, near the border with Outremont. Outremont metro station (blue line) is about a 12-minute walk; the 80 bus along Avenue du Parc stops nearby and connects to Place-des-Arts station downtown.
What to order
Order the Milos Special, thin slices of fried eggplant and zucchini served with tzatziki and saganaki cheese, followed by a Greek salad and grilled fish or seafood chosen from the display and priced by weight. Grilled octopus is another classic. Finish with Greek yogurt and honey.
Atmosphere
The room is bright, white and elegant, evoking the Greek islands, with the fish display at its centre. It is a polished setting for special occasions and business dinners, and the service is attentive.
Plan your visit
Milos is a special-occasion restaurant, so reserve ahead and plan for a leisurely meal. If you want to control the budget, ask your server for the weight and price of the fish before it is cooked, and share a few starters. Avenue du Parc puts you close to Mile End’s cafés and the Outremont shops on Avenue Laurier.
