In last week’s Blog on the frustrating Resy Reservation system in New York your scribe referenced seven places that really showed excellent dining at competitive pricing. Among those mentioned was Milos at Hudson Yards.
However, reflecting back on my remarkable recent experiences at Milos in several locations it seemed appropriate to me to provide more details and feature them solely here.
Interesting that the first estiatorio Milos was Montreal founded in 1979 and are now around the world including Athens, Dubai, London, Las Vegas, Los Cabos, Miami, New York City (Hudson Yards, Midtown, & Milos Wine Bar), Palm Beach (opening soon), Singapore, and Toronto. Wish they would expand to your scribe’s hometown of Vancouver!
On their website they state that “we believe in philoxenia, the art of Greek hospitality, gathering at a table to share a meal.” Boy do they ever deliver this wonderful tradition of sharing in spades.
Always blown away by the quality of the ingredients they use. Fresh delicious seafood is simply prepared (difficult to achieve) but outstandingly cooked to perfection and so delicious showing their natural flavours. Even their olive oil comes from very old Koroneiki trees hand picked and using the first cold press. The bottle served to us was My Sister’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Greece with a best before date of July 29, 2025. So fresh.
Milos is my enthusiastic nomination for The Best Weekday Value Lunch of 3 fine courses at only $45. The three courses allow you to make choices in each section. We took first the impressive grilled Octopus followed by the spectacular Whole Grilled Fish Of The Day (this time Dorade), and finished with the spiced walnut cake with honey lavender ice cream. Admire their reasonably priced mostly Greek wines by the glass with balanced Assyrtiko blend whites matching well with the food. The friendly accommodating serving staff add to making your lunch so memorable.
Highly recommend seeking out Milos for an amazing weekday lunch at one of his many locations. So well done and also a very good deal!
