And remember — for the best in restaurants, events, and nightlife, Montrealnightlife.com is your trusted guide to everything happening in and around the city. Let’s take a look at what’s on this week.
Restaurant of the Week: Milos
📍 Address: 5357 Avenue du Parc, Montréal, QC H2V 4G9
🌟 Ambiance:
A landmark in Montreal’s fine dining scene, Milos is synonymous with elegance, simplicity, and world-class Mediterranean hospitality. Set in the heart of Mile End, this iconic institution feels simultaneously refined and welcoming. Whitewashed walls, flowing linen, and a bright open kitchen nod to its Greek heritage, while crisp service and an ever-buzzing dining room give it timeless, international flair. Whether you’re sitting by the fish market display or under the soft glow of overhead lanterns, Milos is a masterclass in understated luxury.
🍽️ Menu Highlights:
Milos has built its global reputation on pristine ingredients treated with respect. Begin with their Milos Special — delicately fried zucchini and eggplant, layered with saganaki cheese and served over creamy tzatziki — a signature appetizer that’s both indulgent and fresh. The Octopus is another standout: charcoal-grilled to smoky perfection, with olive oil and Santorini capers. For mains, the Lavraki (Mediterranean sea bass) is flown in daily, served whole and grilled with sea salt, lemon, and olive oil — simplicity at its finest. Don’t miss the Lamb Chops, expertly seasoned and flame-kissed, or the Greek Salad, which lets Milos’s impeccable tomatoes and barrel-aged feta do all the talking. Everything is à la carte, but each dish feels curated and essential.
🍷 Beverage Selection:
The wine list is a deep dive into the best of Greece and beyond, with crisp Assyrtiko whites from Santorini, bold reds from Naoussa, and a healthy mix of French, Italian, and Californian favorites. Cocktails lean classic but refined — think dry martinis, ouzo spritzes, and Mediterranean twists on negronis. For the full experience, ask your server for a pairing recommendation based on your catch of the day.
⏰ Hours of Operation:
Monday to Sunday: 11:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
💰 Price Range: $$$ – Expect $60–$100+ per person (à la carte)
Milos is more than just a meal — it’s a pilgrimage for lovers of seafood and clean Mediterranean cuisine. With its serene atmosphere and unmatched ingredient quality, it’s the perfect spot to elevate a special evening or impress out-of-town guests. This week, if you’re craving elegance without pretension, Milos delivers.
