Chef Costas Spiliadis is the celebrated founder of Estiatorio Milos, one of the world’s most iconic Greek fine-dining restaurants. Born in Patras, Greece, and later establishing his career in Montreal, Canada, Chef Spiliadis has spent decades elevating the global perception of Greek cuisine. His culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in purity, simplicity, and a profound respect for ingredients—especially seafood, which he believes should be served with minimal interference to allow its natural flavors to shine.
In 1979, he opened the first Milos in Montreal, introducing diners to an elegant yet authentic Greek dining experience. From there, the brand expanded to culinary capitals such as New York, London, Athens, Miami, and Las Vegas. His legacy continues to grow with the opening of Milos Dubai, located at Atlantis, The Royal. This latest addition reflects the same timeless values of freshness, honesty, and Mediterranean hospitality.
Milos Dubai presents an upscale, contemporary space inspired by the Greek isles, featuring whitewashed textures, warm woods, and spectacular views of the Arabian Gulf. Guests are invited to select fresh seafood from the market-style display, paired with signature dishes such as charcoal-grilled octopus, Greek ceviche, and wild-caught whole fish baked in sea salt. Complemented by an expertly curated wine list and warm, attentive service, Milos Dubai offers a refined yet welcoming escape that captures the spirit of the Aegean.
Chef Spiliadis continues to be a global ambassador for Greek cuisine, championing sustainability, seasonality, and the soul of Mediterranean dining.
