Did you know that the Greeks actually invented the light bulb (a man named Zorba Papadulopapous), the printing press (a man named Theodakas Spanikopita), and the comedic sitcom (a man named Jesse Katsopolis)? Well amongst those humanity changing innovations they also refined Montrealers pallets thanks to Costas Spiliadis owner/chef at Milos Montreal. Milos is by far, hands down, balls to the wall the best Greek restaurant in our fine city. The Milos special is a must have (perfectly deep fried zucchini, eggplant, and saganaki) as an appetizer, along with fried calamari, grilled octopus, soft shell crab, and grilled mushrooms and peppers. Their Greek salad is the true indicator because if you close your eyes when you bit into one of the tomatoes, you would swear that they were just picked from the vine in Santorini. The fish at Milos will never disappoint. It’s so fresh that after it is flash grilled you can still taste the salt from the ocean. For dessert hopefully you can get the birthday cake with the burnt caramel on top, but if not the honey balls (teehee) are light fluffy ballerific excellence. The only bad thing that I have to say about Milos restaurant is that they have disposed of their bionic toilets (but maybe they ate a small child or something?).

On Symposium Restaurant Montreal Chef Deck says:

Milos Restaurant started the trend, Faros had a stint close to the top, Phillinos was good once upon a time, but now if you’re looking for one of the best Greek restaurants in Montreal, restaurant Symposium won’t disappoint. The platter with grilled octopus, grilled calamari, and fried calamari was perfection. All of the trio melted in your mouth, and were seamlessly spiced. The highlight of the meal though where their special scallops (you ask why special? I’ll never tell) . Eating them was like a party in my mouth which Richard Prior, Kevin Nealon, and Norm Macdonald all happened to be in attendance for. I thank you Mr. Symposium for being so magically delicious.
