Milos London

Estiatorio Milos - London Restaurant Reviews | Hardens

Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Costas Spiliadis pioneered the Hellenic food scene by introducing high-end food from the islands of Greece.

Estiatorio Milos, which opened in London in August 2015, has a long-standing reputation for serving the freshest, most pristine Mediterranean seafood.

Costas Spiliadis’ restaurants demonstrate a great commitment to the sourcing of quality ingredients.

Spiliadis first arrived in New York in 1969 from his native Patras, a port city near the ancient Greek village of Olympia.

Spiliadis’ vision came full circle when in 2015, Estiatorio Milos opened in London to pursue his mission of elevating the status of Greek cuisine internationally.

Estiatorio Milos (henceforth referred to as Milos) is an international mini chain of Greek seafood restaurants with branches in Athens, Montreal and the US.

Although there is a red meat option on Milos’ set menu, having lamb chops at a seafood restaurant is a bit like going to a curry house and ordering the omelette – a childish retreat to the comfortably familiar that’s ultimately pointless.

One of the very few but most annoyingly pretentious things about Milos, and I use the trite ‘p’ word carefully, is the exclusive use of Greek terms for the various fish and other dead sea creatures on offer.

The dense, meaty and chewy little slices of zingy sea bass wasn’t in need in of much embellishment anyway.

The deep-fried pastry balls here were a little too oily for my liking, but there was still plenty to like from the crisp exterior to the fluffy, lightly bready interior and the thin yet multi-layered dressing of honey which had hints of aniseed and orange.

Suddenly Costas Spiliadis, founder of the Milos group of restaurants — Montreal, New York City, Athens, Las Vegas, Miami and now London — is by our side.

Weighing before paying for your choice of fish is an attractive, typically Greek conceit but not so much when it transpires that a fairly common species brought in from Portugal is priced at £95/kg.

Recent visits to the Newman Arms, where The Cornwall Project furnishes the kitchen with fish pulled from the sea less than 24 hours before service, to Antidote, where turbot cooked on the bone achieves eerie purity and — on the day of visiting Milos — to lunch at 10 Greek Street where a joyful large whole plaice to share is from a Cornish supplier makes something of a nonsense of inflated prices for imported produce.

Also, my experience of living some of the year in the Peloponnese in Greece is that dynamiting and overfishing have resulted in a scarcity of fish in the Ionian, Aegean and Mediterranean seas.

I choose the cheapest Greek white wine, an unremarkable Enipeas from Estate Brintziki , a blend of roditos with a small percentage of assyrtiko grapes for £44.

The popular Estiatorio Milos chain that started in Montreal before opening in New York, Miami, Las Vegas and Athens, arrives in London.

Estiatorio Milos specialises in seafood, with a Greek influence in evidence throughout the menu.

The restaurant is located at 1 Regent Street, with two floors playing host to a raw seafood bar as well as a main restaurant and a stylish bar, with many of the aesthetic components designed by Estiatorio Milos' owner, Costas Spiliadis.
