Restaurant Zante — Restaurant in Montreal

This establishment is a gem!! Labeled a Greek restaurant but put away all of your most common conceptions of Greek food. This is Greek elegance and sophisticated magnificence in the food preparation. First, the think that makes any establishment is service. Here, the service is impeccable but subtle. With just a glance the server , Juliano attended every need. So personable, so available, but never over-bearing. The Greek salad is the essence of pure, fresh tomato, cucumber, peppers, not too much olive, two chunks of feta, in a deliciously fresh olive oil and vinegar with subtle but effective seasoning. Most importantly, and this epitomizes the restaurant, all presented at the perfect room temperature and as if the vegetables and marinated perfectly. The Linguine aux fruits de mer is not too overbearing on a bed of fine pasta with a delicious, sauce that lingers on the pasta and is so flavorful. The seafood is ringed calamari, head calamari, sautéed, scallop, and huge shrimp. In New Orleans would be called prawns. My only complaint was a little light on shrimp and one more would be amazing. The cappuccino was so thick with milk froth it far outlasted the coffee. House made pistachio ice cream is perfectly not too sweet and rich and creamy perfection. This restaurant knows EXACTLY what they are doing! Somewhat limited in selection but everything done to the finest detail. You must ask for Juliano, he will take good care of you. You will leave feeling...

We went to Zante for my aunts birthday, we were 11 people. They have a “set menu” 80$ per person. They put appetizers on the table to share then everyone picks their own main out of some choices. We waited so long to get the appetizers, one of them was the Greek salad so that should have been quick. No joke like 45 minutes until we got some food. Everything was visually pleasing but didn’t satisfy. The waitress was really nice but when it was time to pay and we asked for split bills and her annoyance was spread across her face. She ended up confirming everyone’s orders ( each couple ordered their own drinks ) then came back 25 minutes later and stated that any party over 10 people they don’t split bills it’s too complicated. It was a big turn off. As a waitress the first thing you should ask before anything is if it’s just 1 bill or separate. I could have gone back there and done the math. We ended up just averaging the amount each of us had to pay and putting it on the machine separately...

Great food! We ate there on Friday the 5th; It was crazy busy. I give this restaurant 3 stars because my husband and I were treated poorly. The night did not go well. First, the waiter wouldn't let us have a table of our choice (we wanted a four top). His excuse was nearly all tables were booked and we were only two people. He could have placed us at a four top - two other couples were placed at four tops and one four top sat empty the entire time we were there. We were cramped at a small table between the bar and the tables against the wall. The owner did not respect our personal space; as he talked with the couple next to us, his rear end was in my face. The couple next to us got their main course before us and we ordered before them and yes they had an appetizer. After we finished our main course, we didn't see our waiter or the bus boy for a while - the waiter focused on table 30, as instructed...
