Mythos Ouzeri Restaurant

Words cannot express the warmth and charm of this authentic traditional Greek restaurant. There are so many levels of appreciation I derived from this experience. First: The abundant and energetic staff is amazingly attentive; always nearby, but never hovering, waiting to serve your every need at a moment's notice, immediately acknowledging even a mere glance or gesture. Then, there is the food. A plethora of traditional Greek staples, each of which are executed with precision and detail unmatched outside of Greece. The fresh ingredients, preparation, taste, and presentation are exquisite. Then, there is the ambiance, reminiscent of an auberge, the spacious bar, and dining room areas are warm and inviting. To top it off, there is live traditional Greek music engaging the guests, all of which combine to complete a very rare and uniquely satisfying dining experience. Highly recommend! BTW Waiter Kosta, together with the rest of the staff, is exceptional indeed! Don't forget to make a reservation, especially on weekends.

Mythos is not just a restaurant it’s a feeling, a memory, a small journey back to Greece without needing a passport. From the moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in warmth that is genuine, effortless hospitality that Greeks are known for, the kind that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and stay a little longer than planned. The food is simply outstanding. Each dish feels intentional, soulful, and rooted in tradition with flavors that tell stories of family tables, sun-washed villages, and recipes passed down with love. Every bite carries care, balance, and authenticity. This is food made to be shared, savored, and remembered. The music… ah, the music and the kefi ! Soft yet alive, weaving through the room like a familiar melody from home that fed my soul so deeply. And then there is Fanny. What a GEM. Her service goes far beyond professionalism, it’s human, heartfelt, genuine and deeply kind. She doesn’t just serve; she connects and makes you feel right at home. You feel seen, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. That kind of presence stays with you long after the table is cleared. Mythos captures the very essence of Greek culture: φιλοξενία wich is the love of strangers, warmth without condition, generosity without expectation and that, to me, is the true taste of Greece.

I rarely take the time to write reviews but honestly this time I had to. The experience was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. Mythos is so much more than a restaurant. It is a full Greek experience with a unique vibe where you are encouraged to leave your worries the second you walk in and enjoy a long memorable meal with the people you love. Every single person went above and beyond to make our evening exceptional and to accommodate our group. Kosta was particularly amazing. Funny engaging and extremely professional. He truly elevated the night for us. The musicians were an absolute highlight. What a wow moment. It may be one of the smallest dance floors in the city yet -somehow- everyone manages to fit and to feel included (even if they are not Greek!). The energy and the music come straight from the heart and people are genuinely having a great time singing at the top of their lungs. Honestly, the Mythos experience is truly unique. It feels like an authentic piece of Greece right here, where warmth joy and hospitality are at the heart of everything. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Fani for offering Montrealers such a beautiful staple and a genuine piece of your rich and vibrant culture.

Nice place, food was great but the music was too loud.

The amount of food was perfect. Delicious and well cooked. Soft ambiance, was able to have full conversations without any yelling or asking to repeat. The service was outstanding. Just to quick clarify we took the group meal for 4 while 2 others took simple meals. And even at that there was plenty, though it aint cheap. As a beer guy the choices weren't that many and a tad pricey for quality. Personally well worth it, though its a big bill.

My real rating is between 3 & 4 We ordered the trio dips which were good. They don’t have pita and instead serve very bad bread. We did not finish the dips for that reason. My medium lamb chops were over cooked and no pick. They were still tender and had good flavor. The lemon potatoes had too much lemon but were well cooked. The service was very good and the waiter added to our fun. The restaurant is very nice inside but over air conditioned.

What an amazing experience! Amazing authentic Greek Cuisine (you don’t go there to eat pita souvlaki) the food was amazing and very well cooked & seasoned. The music and ambiance was amazing and actually seeing customers dance traditional Greek style and having the band singing was worth it alone. We sat next to stage and no issue with the volume. Our waiter was spot one and the best great service. My mouth is watering just writing this review :) if you a local or visiting Montreal you have to try place it’s a must! you really need to try this place. Pricing is right especially for the quality your getting, can’t wait to go again and to bring guest so they can share our experience. Btw I wish I paid attention when I got there but they have Valet Service no need to hunt for parking.

The food was good and tasted like it was home cooked but the half chicken was a little too salty. The server gave my wife the wrong plate. She ordered the chicken breast and the server said well, don't worry about it, it's the same price rather than apologizing and didn't even compensate for it. While the atmosphere is very Montreal and laid back Greek, it was loud at moments. But the server, an older gentleman, really should not be a server. His personality is off-putting and arrogant. This the main reason we won't return

This place is a vibe. Great service. Polite people. Customers are fun. Lots of dancing and fun going on. Live band makes this place very enjoyable. The food is good and authentic. Work checking this place out for a good time.

Amazing food and ambiance. Service is a little bit aggressive but I like the fact that they treated us like kings and queens. We danced and had fun. Our server was very nice and polite.

We where a party of 14 so I expected a little delay in service but It took so long to get our food and then it tinkled out in bits and pieces so some people ate before others. The restaurant was full and they were trying the best They could but it took forever. The food was good some of the best dishes we had was the grilled octopus fried zucchini and the fish, they had a band playing live music which was pretty cool!

Great food, lots of fun. Went for a Greek friend's birthday with all her family and friends there. Had my first experience in the Zorba line.

We called last minute for a late night reservation and they were able to accommodate a party of 6 immediately. They had a private event going on, but the service and quality of food were outstanding. We enjoyed a tapas style menu, which included kontoaouvli, avgolemono soup, bacaliaro (fried cod) large Greek village salad, lamb chops, dip sampler and more. Every dish came out promptly and was delicious. While not inexpensive, it's worth it.

An excellent greek spot to come and enjoy! Live music on Friday and Saturday. Not to mention the Greek salad is made fresh to order! Feta and olive oil are flown in from Greece. The fish (sword fish and cod) are phenomenal! Not a spot to skip on!

I had the Québec lamb plate with Potato and orzo and it was very yummy. Portion wise it was more than enough for one person. Service was great . In fact the chef even came to see if everything was ok. Come with an appetite. If you come on Friday and Saturday nights they have a live band playing downstairs and depending on the mood there could be some dancing. Great place as well for group and birthday celebrations. They also have a terrace outside on parc avenue. Enjoy!!

Throughout the years I have been to Mythos many times. The food is consistent and authentic. Upstairs is nice and modern, while downstairs has a great rustic look. I usually go on the weekends as I love the fact that they have live greek band. The food is very good, for appetizers I recommend the greek salad, very fresh and they use amazing greek olive oil. Honestly everything is good if your a meat fan the lamb is to die for and if your a fish fan then the halibut is one of the best I have ever had. The best part is the homemade lukoumades they make. The staff is happy and friendly, they treat you like family. Price are above average but you also get above average food and service.

This place has had its time, and now it is just there. The food was mediocre which took over 2 hours to come. When I asked to talk to the manager, she never showed up, and nothing was offered to compensate for the long wait. One of our friends sent his back because he wasn't hungry any more. The food. Octopus was laced with pepper and not edible. Stuffed calamari and the chicken were very good, lamb chops were average. The plates came with greens, might habe been chicory, that were slimy and bitter. Too risky to eat. When the management doesn't care about the guests, then why should we spend our hard earned money in that sort of place.

I came here for a birthday last week and though I was really looking forward to it, I was very disappointed. I remember Mythos being one of the best Greek restaurants Montreal had; what happened? The food was less than mediocre. From the octopus to the horta, it was just wrong. The kotosouvli shouldn't have even left their kitchen. The saganaki was served cold. Let's just say, I was very pissed. On a positive note, the service was excellent and their drinks were good.

Came here on sunday for a night out with my bf. Had never been here before, but after seeing all the reviews and recommendations decided it would be a nice spot to try out. On the outside it doesn't look all that nice but once you get in its super cute. I got the shrimp and my bf got the New Zealand lamb chops. All of it was delicious. The waiter was super friendly and really cared about the service he was giving. It was a bit pricey but its definitely worth it!

We were three girls at dinner and went with what the waiter recommended which was to get a bunch of appetizers and it was delicious!!! The fried cheese, the zucchini eggplant chips with tzatziki and grilled octopus are a must. We also got the Greek salad and grilled calamari which were good but I would probably have opted for grilled veggies instead of the salad And loukoumades are a must

First time here for a Mother's Day dinner. We were five and ordered a variety of dishes to share. The rack of lamb was excellent. Octupus, fried calamari, also excellent. Service was a little slow but overall food was delicious. We ordered a baklava as dessert with a cappuccino and the pastry was fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I had dinner here with 5 of my friends, and WOW! The food here was amazing! I think we tried almost everything on the menu, and there wasn't one bad thing we had to say about anything. The big hit was the Chilean sea bass. It was like butter and melted in your mouth. We had the mussels, grilled shrimp, spanakopita, lamb, rice and lemon soup, dolmas, saganaki, and about 5 other dishes I can't remember right now.... Oh and the honey balls for desert were a hit too! (mainly for the name, lol I know we're juvenile) All I can say is we all left about 10lbs heavier with big smiles on our faces! Great food, a bit pricey, but definitely worth it.

First time here, but the last name should tell you that I eat a lot of Greek food. The grilled stuffed octopus brought me right back to Greece. Make sure to eat it while it's still hot. Once it cools down the flavour changes. Back soon to try other menu options!

Who goes to Canada and has Greek food? ME! :) This restaurant was a surprise Valentine's Day choice. We went to Greece last fall and have always enjoyed the cuisine . We had tasty (fried) eggplant and zucchini slices with tzatziki for a first course wile waiting for the most AMAZING lamb chops I've ever experienced. The lamb was cooked perfectly, a wonderful medium. The lamb was served with Greek style potatoes and broccoli rabe, which was also a pleasant surprise. My dining companion had Quebec lamb, which was basically as tender as a Grandma's pot roast. This was also super delicious. For dessert we had a small order of Loukoumades (Greek doughnuts), because why not, we were walking back to the hotel. I'm glad we did have the dessert, it was also tasty. This restaurant has a nice selection of wine and won extra points from me because they seated us in front of a large window, which provided great views of the neighborhood and the snow removal activities happening outside. The restrooms are surprisingly nice, well, as nice as the restaurant itself. The waitstaff was extra friendly and not too pushy. perfect combo if you ask me. If we do go back to Montreal we'll be sure to visit again, so should you!

We enjoyed the fried zucchini and eggplant, followed by rack of lamb, and loukomades for dessert Overall nice experience, also enjoyed the outdoor terrace and the outstanding cheerful service of Dimitri ..

It is a myth that Mythos is a good restaurant. I came here with my three girlfriends hoping to have a nice meal. We had been to Milos before and it was absolutely fantastic, so we had high hopes for this restaurant. Sadly, they were not to be met. The appetizers, the calamari and the fried zucchini/eggplant, were the best part of the meal. They were light and fresh tasting. However, the lobster pasta was doused heavily in olives and tomato sauce. They charged us 8 dollars to remake solely the pasta to be without olives, which one of us was allergic to. There was no indication on the menu that the pasta would include olives. We were incredibly surprised when we were brought the bill, and our server told us that "she did us a favour by only charging us an extra 8 dollars" when in fact the portion of pasta they gave us could have been made at home for around thirty cents. The lamb, which we were assured was the specialty of the restaurant, was very dry. It was a struggle to find a piece that was not dry. We were told that it had been cooking for 3 hours over maple charcoals. Perhaps we should have known not to order something that had been cooking for three hours. Perhaps the three hours sucked every bit of moisture out of the meat. In the end, the mediocre food (for $$$) was not the only negative of the experience. We had a bizarre server who, quite frankly, would not leave us alone. It wasn't awful, but we did not enjoy the service, especially being unknowingly charged for the pasta replacement. Upon receiving the bill, we discovered that they did not take Debit. For someone whose credit card was just frauded today by some scammer stealing it to make purchases on iTunes, it was an utter inconvenience and embarrassment to have my friend pay for me. We will never return to the mythical land of Mythos.

3 stars for the live entertainment and the wine list that was a good selection from Greece. Found the food way to salty overall. It was fresh, I give you that but having been to Greece it does not really compare. The ouzeri on St Denis has way better Greek food and less expensive. Now if you want to party and have agood time you will probably enjoy this place on a Saturday. Everybody was dancing after the service under Armenian and Greek songs. Looks like it was the spot for groups and birthdays. You can even bring in your birthday cake! Not really my scene. That's all you need to know!

Amazing. A bit on the pricier side but sooo worth it! The entrees are fantastic. From everything from the fried zucchini to the greek salad. The main plates were just as tasty! The pastitsio was TO DIE FOR!!!!! I haven't had a great tasting pastitsio in awhile. It's neck and neck with YaYa's pastitio!! The steak is perfectly cooked. You ask for rare, it comes rare. You want Medium? it's always spot on. Octopus was perfect.. See the trend? I would definitely go back!!

Amazing restaurant and such a fun Saturday night. I went to Mythos over 10 years ago and loved it, and now going back last saturday I wasn't sure what to expect. I have to say that the quality of their food and service hasn't changed. The food is top notch. The group menu is sooooo worth every penny. Service was great. We also loved the wine list and the very talented band that performed. 5 stars!!!

I went there recently with a group of friends for dinner & dancing. We all thoroughly loved it. The service was top notch as was the food and music. Will definitely go back for more.

Pros: - Service was quick and attentive. - Quaint painted walls that scream Greek culture to you, with beautiful murals and vases. Atmosphere felt warm and intimate. - While I didn't dine downstairs (due to the fact we it may be loud and wish to have conversations with fellow diners like we do) it seems to be a lot of fun for those willing to dine in a festive ambiance with a live band, dance floor and bar. We were perfectly fine upstairs. - The Tzatziki was especially good, as well as the Saganaki. Kopanisti was notably good as well. Cons: - We ordered the Mythos meat special platter (requires 4 people minimum) which comes in a beautiful long plate filled with 5 sorts of meats. Sadly, while it looked great, several selections of meats were very average and disappointing. We definitely did not enjoy the taste of the minced meat but I'm sure other people may feel differently. The sausages didn't float my boat neither. - The greek salad was somewhat uninspired and didn't feel fresh. - The calamari plate was small and definitely no where close to the best I've eaten. - The meals in general are quite expensive... especially when compared to other Greek restaurants we gone to and their food being a notch higher in general. Obviously we didn't try many fish courses, which is supposedly their specialty thus I won't give this restaurant a bad review. However, many plates were hit and miss which isn't acceptable... including the calamari. Overall, it's a nice place, with slightly better than average food but mind your budget as a good meal can cost you well over 50$.

Such a special dinner! Delicious entrees, memorable salad, and exquisite service by Mike! Our party of 4 were delighted!

I really love this place! I've been three times in the past few months and I can't wait to go again! The first time I went was with my parents on a Friday night. We went based on a recommendation from a Greek friend of mine and I am very happy we did. We reserved downstairs where, on Fridays and Saturdays it gets really lively with Greek dancing and live music. The atmosphere was fun and another woman patron even got my mom (a usually very shy woman) to get up and dance! I honestly cannot really remember what we ordered but I remember it was delicious! My father was impressed by the Greek wine list, but was a little disappointed that the horta (a Greek green) was not what he had eaten in Greece but was actually rapini. Our waiter was very pleasant, gave good recommendations on the wine, and joked a bit with my dad. The second time I went was for a friend's birthday. That was another amazing dining experience. We were 9 people, sat upstairs, and we ordered one of the preset menus for everyone. We were served a variety of spreads, fried zucchini and eggplant, fried calamari, grilled octopus, salad, sausage, chicken, lamb, and the list goes on. It was absolutely delicious, though it was a slightly ridiculous quantity. After the second time, I would dream of that octopus...so, recently I went again to satisfy my craving and sat outside on their cute terrace in the front. I even got a second order to take home and it was just as good the next day cold All three times the food was amazing. All three times the service and the atmosphere were great!! I can't wait until the next time I go...and for sure the octopus will be the first thing I order

I've had the chance to come here for the full sit down dinner and simply for drinks. Have yet to be disappointed. Food : very good greek food. We were a group, so we ordered several items and shared. I'm a pretty big fan of saganaki (some sort of fried cheese), and it was on point here. The loukaniko was amazing and I definitely recommend it. The zucchini platter was also great and so was the octopus. The tzatziki was rich and thick (which is awesome). I don't have anything negative to say about the food at Mythos. Service : the staff is very friendly and efficient. Our waiter was a little clumsy, but it was all fun and jokes. Decor/ambiance : it's in a basement, exposed brick, lots of untouched character- which is great. They have live performers that actually know how to play the instruments and/or sing. Kudos. *expect the noise level to be high.

Great food, we ordered meat assortment for four people the plate was huge. Cozy place, great for kids if they used to homemade food. The service was great also.

Enjoyed an amazing evening with friends! The food was delicious, the entertainment amazing! Had the snapper - it was cooked to perfection! Couldn't ask for anything better!! A must go to!!

Went back to Mythos after I haven't visited for few years. The food is still very good. The way the octopus was prepared is amazing, the best I have ever had. I also like the eggplant, zucchini which are deep fried and are like chips. We had grilled meet platter that was very well prepared too. The service is attentive and non pretentious. Strange the restaurant was so empty on Wednesday night, but this actually made the visit more pleasant. The restaurant has a nice list of Greek wines to experiment with, but would you go to a greek place without drinking ouzo.

I am Greek and this is the best original Greek found I have ever food abroad. The lamb was delicious.....

I tried this place out with my gf, we thought it would have more of a romantic feel considering it was Valentine's Day, anyway it had a lot of big groups, man kids also. I took the chicken and had the calamari, both really good. The chicken was moist and came with potatoes and salad, the calamari were okay, a tad oily for my liking. Just nothing to extravagant at this place. I have eaten at better Greek establishments. The problem here is the service... I find it was a tad to slow but it was fairly packed. I would go back though.

Great place to eat and party on a saturday nite. Esp. if your a guy as it seems there is 3 women for every one guy!! Gotta love it. Been here many many time and always great food and service. Everything is great on the menu. I have brought many people from china here and all loved it.

I went there with my girlfriend for lunch after several of my friends told me I had to try their lunch special. Well, it was indeed very good, but definitely over-rated. The service wasn't too friendly and when we received our main dish -- we both took the fish of the day, I think it was sea bass --, one plate came with lemon and the other didn't, and the waiter was nowhere to be found for the following 5 minutes. So I ate my fish without lemon... Our lunch special, overall, was good and tasty, but I wouldn't say it was a great value. I wouldn't discourage people who want to try it as the food is very good, but honestly I can't say my experience there was what I expected. It felt a little too pretentious and pricey for what we got.

I've been to Mythos several times over the years and it is always delicious. We had reservations at 7pm on on a Saturday night and it was very busy as always! We usually order the same items and the food is always consistent which is important to me. We started off with fried mushrooms, fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki and a Greek salad, our appetizers soon arrived and they were devoured quickly. We ordered a pretty large red snapper to split between the 4 of us and our waiter assured us it was plenty for us to feel satisfied. It soon arrived with some fluffy rice and steamed greens. The fish was flaky and flavorful, the rice and veggies were tasty and a nice compliment to the fish. All in all, a delicious meal in a loud, lively party like setting. Be careful with the wine it will add up to hefty amount in your bill. The highlight of the evening was the interesting conversation outside:) I was sitting with my mom while she smoked a cigarette and there were a group of men in their 40's talking about a friend of their's that was going off to prison for 20 years for embezzlement and drug trafficking. My chatty mother of course butts in the conservation and our new friends start telling us all about this "friend" and his soon to be new life in prison. I dragged my mom away and on our way we went:) A fun, entertaining evening! Definitely a must!

I finally went to Mythos after working in the Mile end for over 6 years. The food was excellent the service was prompt and attentive without being pretentious. We had feta, lamb and calamari and all of it was great. The portions are large and prices are reasonable considering what you get. Both my girl friend and I are looking forward to going back.

We went there as a big group and ordered most of their appetizers and mains. The food was bland to average and is in no means good Greek food. I was fortunate to taste great Greek food in Greece several times and there is just no comparison. I wouldn't even bother with the place even if served the same food at half the price. Outrageous prices given the food. Service was average and some of the waiters were a bit unfriendly. Possibly because it was busy. Parking is a pain since it's Parc.

We ordered the shrimp plate,roasted lamb and calamari. The food is seriously crazy good. Lamb was so soft and shrimps were huge! Not those tiny ones u vet everywhere else. Calamari portion was small and it's on the pricey side but after u take the first bit u realize it's worth every penny.

Hands down, one of the best lamb dishes (prepared "quebec style") I've ever tasted. The grilled veal chop is also delicious.

My favourite greek restaurant in the city with family style portions,The grilled lamb and veges are heavenly .The grilled octopus is the perfect amount of crispy .They even have performances on some nights

Amazing food, live music, courteous service... This is the spot!

I want to thank Mythos for taking care of our group. We went for dinner/drinks to celebrate 4 birthdays amongst 15 family members and friends. The food, live music and ambiance was great, we danced the night away. There was a bit of a situation, which Mythos management took care of and we are very grateful and appreciative of this. We are long time valued customers and will continue to go back for great food and a great time!! Thanks you Fanni and Mythos family

Demetrius was our waiter. My sisters and I are from Texas and Demetrius is a dedicated Dallas Cowboy fan. He gave us very attentive service. He brought out a huge bowl of delicious sliced tomatoes, onions and cucumbers with herbs, olive oil and lemon. Wonderful bread with an olive spread, fried zucchini, fried calamari, tzichi (sp) sauce, grilled shrimp and grilled chicken thighs. A feast! We couldn't eat dessert so he brought us a liquor that really broadened our horizons. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and the special attention. 4 stars instead of 5 because the calamari and shrimp were just slightly over done. Seasonings on everything fantastic! Thanks Demetrius for our best meal in Montreal.

Love the place. Authentic Greek food, good service, good value. I would say their speciality is fish dishes, There are also a couple of off-menu items sometimes, that my Greek friends know how to ask for. They have an upstairs and a downstairs. The downstairs is busier and nosier, and possibly more fun if you want that kind of thing. In the summer you can sit outside. Surely my favorite Green place in Montreal, but that's an understatement.

Quite possibly the best Greek restaurant in Montreal. I dream about their food.

Amazing food! We love Greek food and we love Milos, this restaurant menu is very similar but with even more options, it is less formal so even better for the kids and they have live Greek music (very loud by the way) witch makes it annoying, but fun and different.

Came here in June with the family and it was really the first Greek restaurant I had ever been to and the food was amazing. The octopus and the lamb were awesome as well as the loukoumades (honey donuts). The Greek yogurt and coffee are also good for dessert.

Solid Greek restaurant. Best taramasalata ever! Good service. Good house wine and good value. Will go back again.

Amazing food with a fantastic chill environment. Downstairs turns into a night club

One of my top 10 restaurants in Montreal. the atmosphere is great. in the summer the terrace is a ton of fun. downstairs is always a party, the wait staff is very friendly and accommodating. love thier kopanisti, greek salad, eggplant /zuccini chips grilled shrimp, chicken, lamb etc ...love that they have valet parking...its a bit pricey at 10$...but well worth it as parc ave is a disaster to park on.

Really good Greek food. Usually you can't find a traditional Greek taverna and i needed to travel all they way in Montreal to find one. Cause here in USA nothing good
