Mythos Ouzeri

A couple of friends and I decided to try out this restaurant and we were very impressed. Mythos is one of my new favourite places to go for authentic Greek food. The restaurant itself is quite big.
There is a coat check option if needed when you walk in. The dining area on all floors is very nice. There is live Greek music, and the waiter told us that people even dance on the first floor.
The food was great. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. The service was also great. Our water was always filled to the top, and our waiter was very attentive. I would definitely come back here!

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 Montréal.

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

One of my top 10 restaurants in Montréal. 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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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 Montréal, but that’s an understatement.

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

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.

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.
Décor/​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.

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!

went there for a friend’s birthday party. the food is really good. loukoumades, lamb, octopus, eggplants, can’t go wrong with those. didn’t like the cheese dish as it was too salty
it is expensive though. came out to $ 75 per head but we did eat quite well

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’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!

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 $.

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.

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 Montréal we’ll be sure to visit again, so should you!
