This Greek fish restaurant is the antithesis to Milos - cozy, nearly cramped seating in a low-ceilinged building tucked away on Fairmount on the Outremont side. The walls are a bit darker and adorned with fishing vessel paraphernalia and photos, and the whole thing gives off a very authentic, relaxed vibe. It's not the type of place you go to celebrate someone's graduation or wow a visitor, unless that visitor is some old leathery village fisherman from Greece. Then by all means, taken him there ASAP.
The food is really good - portions are really big and the dish complexity is kept to a minimum, kind of the way a steakhouse focuses on isolating the steak. They do the same thing - you won't find reductions and confits and blended ingredients that normally never go together here. Just a huge chunk of snapper with a simple side dish.
Sometimes, you just want an uncomplicated meal - Faros fits that bill perfectly. I highly recommend it!
