Beautiful restaurant serving delicious Syrian food.

The decor is stunning, with oriental music on low volume, just perfect.

The food is delicious, we tried a few cold and hot mezze, as well as the grilled kebabs. Everything was beautifully presented, and very tasty. Portions are adequate, we went with a small fatoush salad, mouhammara, mutabbal, shish borek, Alep kebabs and a dessert. We could barely finish and could have ordered a bit less for 2.

My only issue is the price, I do think this is way overpriced. This is very good traditional Syrian food, very well executed (better than most other levantine restaurants), but it's still simple food. While I understand some of the high prices on racks of lamb and noble pieces of meat, most of the menu doesn't warrant these prices. 18$ labneh? Really??

Petite poissonnerie du marché Jean-Talon, la plupart des produits sont de qualité, mais certains sont un peu décevants. Niveaux prix je trouve ça comparable à ce qui se fait ailleurs.

L'été, leur guédille de homard est délicieuse, généreuse en homard, parfumée avec un peu d'estragon. Leurs croquettes de morues sont très bonnes aussi.
Milos concept is simple: serve the best ingredients available, prepared very simply the Mediterranean way.

We tried some of their classics, such as the Milos special, and the octopus. The octopus was absolutely delicious, the Milos special (fried zucchini and eggplant tower) was good but lacked some salt.

For mains, we went with the oven baked halibut and the lamb chops. Both were very good and well cooked, but I found the lamb chops with fries portion to be on the small side considering the price ($79).

We were recommended Greek white wines by the glass, all delicious.

The food was overall very good, but I do find it pricey for what it is. It was $330 (tax and tip in), for 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 4 glasses of wine.

I also find the idea of importing most ingredients kind of stupid in this day and age. There's tons of fantastic produce available locally in Quebec. It may not replace everything in the menu, but I absolutely don't understand why you would serve Colorado lamb chops when Quebec lamb is just as delicious. This approach feels dated, and takes us back to the 1990s.

For those reasons, I remove 1 star. Otherwise, service from Sabrina was excellent, and decor is nice, but there are far nicer places in town. The place overall very classic and doesn't standout.
