    I was done with work, starving, wanting something not too expensive but delicious AND a bring your own wine place. I had always heard about Jardin de Panos so I decided to try it out.

    The service was fast, the food was good and the price was right. I had the chicken brochette, which is a hearty amount of chicken. The salad was very good also...not swimming in dressing, but just enough.

    My only suggestion would be to make the tzatziki more potent. I'm a huge fan on extra garlic-y tzatziki. But, I understand that not everyone likes to stink the next day due to garlic saturation!

    Not bad! The chicken brochette seemed to have a Dijon-honey mustard glaze which I found delicious!! The portions are large with each plate being filled with salad and large potato wedges. I'd go again

    Personally, I really like Jardin Panos. It's nothing special. It's just your typical Greek restaurant a la Casa Grec or Vieux Duluth.

    If you're looking for a rustic chicken brochette, filet mignon brochette, with the regular salad and rice, and an entrée of tzaziki, go ahead. Try it! The food is consistently decent. In a world of mystery meat, Panos will deliver average every time;)

    What I like best about this restaurant is the outdoor Terrasse. It's very cute. Like for a lot of people in the area, this is more of a summer destination rather than a middle of winter spot.

    Amidst the many totally average bring your own wine Greek eateries in this city, Jardin de Panos is a different story all together.

    You dine in rural Greece beneath hanging grapes in the courtyard garden terasse.

    The menu sticks with traditional Greek dishes, and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody's grandmother was actually in the kitchen preparing them.

    Beware, in summertime the place gets full and they don't take reservations.

    Most important thing to know here is: TAKE YOUR OWN WINE.

    They do not have any wine, or beer, or any sort of alcoholic beverage. So if you don't want to be washing down your amazing Quebecois/Greek cuisine with a diet sprite, buy a nice bottle and carry it with you. Also, the convenience store across the street has vinegar for wine and its dear.

    Next, there will be a line outside. It took me nearly an hour to get in, in the Montreal winter. Well worth it for a good meal.

    Right past that little hurdle, the food is amazing. Large hearty portions of whatever you order; I had the lamb and it was fantastic. The bread they serve it with is fresh and fluffy like a pastry, and the salad dressing - complimentary salad - was just the best dressing I've ever tried.

    So truth is I went here after I got turned away from Au Pied Couchon (across the street), which some people will claim is the best restaurant in Montreal and hence obviously requires reservations six years in advance (and don't try to claim you're from their courteous neighbour in the south, it makes things worse). Fantastic decision in the end.

    Le Jardin de Panos is yet another very popular "bring your own wine" restaurant on the plateau.
    Greek menu, I love sitting outside in the garden terrace. There is this huge really old tree in the garden which makes it feel woodsy.
    The tables are very crowded together, but it is still enjoyable. No smoking even on the terrace.
    I enjoy the chicken brochette (kabob) which comes with roasted potatoes.
    We came in about 9:00 and the place was still packed. Our waiter was a bit rushed and pressed us for a fast order.
    We took out time and enjoyed a very nice meal.
    Abt. $15pp which included tax and tip.

    The BEST $60 I have ever spent!!!

    I had read many reviews about Au Pied Du Cochon, across the street, and was prepared to go experience some authentic French cuisine...but then we saw the line in front of Jardin de Panos.  

    Authentic Greek food at a reasonable price?  We decided to give it a try. For starters, we had the dolmades which were covered in a rich, creamy lemon sauce- Superb!

    I had the lamb chops for my entree and my boyfriend had the filet mignon.  Both were perfectly cooked to order and delectably seasoned.

    For dessert, we shared the baklava and galaktoboureko.  Wow, SO rich and SO very good ( not to mention, they were only $2.95 each).

    Overall, a great experience!

    There was a line out the door, and upon watching the other patrons waiting for a table holding their BYO wares,  I dispatched myself to get a bottle of beer for the appetizers and a bottle of wine for the mains.  Fortunately there was a place nearby.

    The food did not disappoint.  It was certainly home made and turned out to be great.  I was short on imagination so we did not stray from the typical order of Dolmas, Artichokes, Calimari for starters and then Lamb for mains.  My friends got the Shisk-Kabob which they swear were the best they have had.

    If you are in Montreal please go, it will not dissapoint.

    I used to dine at Jardin de Panos frequently but  it's been resting on its laurels and it's gone way downhill in the past years. The place is still packed with lines out the door during peak times but I think that's just the remnants of its reputation. There are other BYOW places that are much better in the Duluth area. Jardin de Panos is not much better now than the generic BYOW Greek places around Prince Arthur that mainly cater to tourists.  To date their decline, they used to have an enormous terrace but apparently they had some noise complaints from neighbors so they had to cover about half of it.  This is the precise moment when the quality of the food went down, the portions shrank, and the prices started climbing.  It's a shame. The old Jardin de Panos was one of the best outdoor eating experiences in the city.

    Pleasant little BYOW place with a neighborhood feel. Friendly owner, friendly waitstaff, probably not a bad place to bring a date. Honestly though, the only reason why I was here is because Au Pied de Cochon was packed to the gills.
