Estiatorio Milos: A Taste of the Mediterranean in the Heart of St James’s
Greek hospitality, exceptional seafood and an impressive London setting come together at one of the capital’s most distinctive Mediterranean restaurants.
At 1 Regent Street, just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus, Estiatorio Milos brings the flavours and traditions of Greece to one of London’s most historic neighbourhoods. Set within the former British Columbia House, the restaurant pairs the grandeur of its St James’s address with a culinary philosophy centred on seafood and carefully selected ingredients.
The London restaurant opened in 2015 as part of the international Milos group, founded by Greek-born restaurateur Costas Spiliadis. From its beginnings in Montreal, the name has become associated with Mediterranean dining and an approach that allows the character of each ingredient to take centre stage.
At the heart of the London restaurant is its signature fish market, where a display of seafood introduces guests to one of Milos’s defining features. The selection reflects the restaurant’s Mediterranean inspiration while also drawing on waters closer to the United Kingdom, including the Bay of Biscay.
The menu extends beyond seafood to include Greek specialities and dishes designed for sharing. Among the restaurant’s signatures is the Milos Special, a presentation of thinly sliced, lightly fried courgette and aubergine that has become closely associated with the name.
The setting gives the experience a character of its own. High ceilings and tall windows lend a sense of occasion to the dining room, while marble, light wood, Greek-inspired decorative pieces and white tablecloths create an elegant Mediterranean atmosphere. The building’s historic architecture provides a striking backdrop for a restaurant that feels both international and rooted in its Greek identity.
A bar and private dining spaces add to the restaurant’s appeal for different occasions, from a business lunch to a celebration. Outside, the ornate stone façade and terrace place Milos firmly within the architectural landscape of St James’s.
Estiatorio Milos offers a vision of Greek dining shaped by both place and tradition: a London restaurant with a cosmopolitan setting, a focus on the sea and a commitment to the hospitality that has carried its name across cities.
