You don’t need to book a flight to Greece to get a little taste of Europe<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

Instead, you can visit an authentic Greek restaurant in Montreal<\/a> with a Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere and a menu <\/a>packed with Greek classics that’ll make you forget you’re dining in the True North. <\/p>\n

Tucked away on Montreal’s Duluth Avenue, Le Jardin de Panos is a Greek restaurant that feels like a mini escape from the city.<\/p>\n

Known as Montreal’s first bring-your-own-wine restaurant, Le Jardin de Panos has been serving up authentic Greek cuisine in its romantic garden terrace reminiscent of Mediterranean nature since 1979. <\/p>\n

Before you even step inside, the restaurant exterior already evokes a sense of Greece. The restaurant is set in a white brick building, surrounded by greenery and featuring the flag of Greece out front. <\/p>\n

Inside, diners will find exposed brick walls, warm, rustic wood accents, and elegant table settings that make for a cozy yet chic atmosphere. <\/p>\n

One of the main attractions of the restaurant, however, is definitely its terrasse that’s reminiscent of a Mediterranean courtyard. Here, you’ll find cute, wrought-iron tables and chairs as well as greenery, flowers and climbing plants that create a romantic outdoor setting.<\/p>\n

If the decor doesn’t do it, the menu at this “Greek brochetterie” will easily transport diners straight to the Mediterranean. <\/p>\n

Restaurant-goers will find a range of Greek classics made with fresh, colourful ingredients, with plenty of grilled meats and seafood to choose from.<\/p>\n

Start with classics like traditional Greek pita with an order of tzatziki, a classic yogurt, cucumber and garlic sauce, or an order of spanikopita, a traditional Greek spinach pie. <\/p>\n

You also can’t go wrong with the feta, served with tomatoes and olives, the fried calamari, or the grilled haloumi cheese. <\/p>\n

For mains, diners can choose from a range of classics like pork souvlaki, grilled lamb chops, fried squid and shrimp, Greek salad, or the fish of the day. <\/p>\n

The menu is especially great for ordering multiple dishes for sharing. <\/p>\n

The BYOW setup is also a nice bonus for anyone planning a summer night out. Rather than spending extra on a bottle of wine at a restaurant, you can bring your own and enjoy it alongside your meal in the garden.<\/p>\n

Be sure to stick around for dessert, which includes classic Greek treats like baklava and karidopita, a cake made with walnuts and soaked in syrup.<\/p>\n

There’s also galaktoboureko, a popular Greek dessert that consists of semolina-based custard baked in phyllo with syrup and cinnamon, as well as creme caramel, tiramisu, and ice cream and sorbet. <\/p>\n

And while the restaurant’s atmosphere makes it an easy choice for a romantic date, you don’t need a special occasion to visit. The laid-back setting works just as well for dinner with friends, a family meal or any evening when you want to make your regular weeknight plans feel a little more exciting.<\/p>\n

Le Jardin de Panos is located at 521 Avenue Duluth East in Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday, and reservations can be made online.<\/p>\n

If a Greek getaway isn’t in the cards this summer, you can always take yourself to this Plateau spot instead.<\/p>\n

Between the Mediterranean-style garden, Greek comfort food and BYOW setup, Le Jardin de Panos is an easy way to get a little taste of Greece right in the heart of the city. <\/p>\n
