Mythos Ouzeri

5318 avenue Du Parc, Montreal, QC, H2V 4G7

Rated this place:

A little taste of the Mediterranean: Loud, raucous, lively restaurant on avenue Du Parc, Mythos serves up traditional Greek fare at reasonable prices. Mythos offers a huge selection of healthy appetizers, such as patzaria (marinated beet salad), stuffed vine leaves, gigantes (baked lima beans in tomato sauce, with olive oil– surprisingly delicious!), fish soup and grilled octopus. Alongside fresh grilled fish, mains include grilled lamb, chicken and pork, all served with steamed horta – a classic Greek plate of dandelion greens, seasoned with lemon, sea salt and olive oil – chock full of iron and vitamin A. Mythos is a little more reasonable on the pocket book than Milos and Trinity – two of Montreal’s well-known upscale restos - both of which also offer delicious, healthy, traditional Greek food, at vast expense. As a bonus, unlike the majority of restaurants in Montreal, Mythos accommodates large groups. One meal here will have you embracing the Mediterranean diet.

DNA Restaurant

355 Marguerite D'Youville, Montreal, Quebec, H2Y 2C4

Rated this place:

"Artisanal & sophisticated" - Made in Canada: DNA is Montréal’s newest gem. Chef–to-the-celebrities Derek Dammann and managing owner Alex Cruz (hence the D ’n A) have a unique dining experience in store for you. Derek’s menu is dubbed “Mediterranean” but after tasting the octopus, sweet breads and duck liver ravioli, odds are you won’t be concerned with factual particulars. Try not to get distracted by the gratuitous décor while you sample the homemade salami amuse bouche between courses. DNA couples its private yet voyeuristic dining experience with orange rooms for ‘5 a 7’ and, I’m told, some very male touches in the men’s room – such as a basketball net, and great moments of vintage hockey games fed through the speakers. DNA is as much a visual experience, as it is a sensory experience, with no detail overlooked. As DNA picked up the grand prize of Créativité Montréal’s restaurant category this past November, it safe to say that Derek’n Alex have created a restaurant ’n conversation piece.
