Milos Montreal doesn't live up to it's New York Sibling




Four of us had dinner at Milos Montreal on Sunday night.  We’d been impressed with Milos New York and were anticipating big things from the original.  Unfortunately, raised expectation can sometimes lead to disappointment.  The food was still good , excellent ingredients prepared simply is usually good.  Milos puts great emphasis on how they source their ingredients,  the yogurt is from goat milk 80km West of Montreal.   Best yogurt I have ever tasted.   Order the Milos Special as soon as your  seated, everyone does and it’s worth it.   Thin slices of zucchini, eggplant and saganaki lightly fried and served with the best tzatziki you’ve ever tasted.    There was a steady stream of these plates from the kitchen In both New York and Montreal.  The fish is the feature but  the choice in Montreal wasn’t what it was in New York. It was Sunday night and Milos offers a great Prix Fix menu for $45.  Quite a deal.   Milos was ridiculously expensive and crazy good in New York and Montreal would have still been ridiculously expensive if 3 of us hadn’t opted for the special.  As it was we had very good food with poor service in Montreal.  The price was slightly cushioned by ordering the Sunday special.  If you love fish and have never been, check it out, the food really is excellent and  I think our bad service may have been just a bad night.  You wouldn't go wrong with the Milos Special, some calamari, crab cakes and soft shelled crab, all perfectly prepared.  Good choice of wines.
