Costas Spiliadis

Costas Spiliadis is a chef and restaurateur who runs a chain of Greek restaurants called Estiatorio Milos. Two of his restaurants and his hotel are in the Michelin Guide.

Early life Spiliadis was born in Patras, Greece in 1947 and immigrated to New York in 1966 to study criminology at New York University and escape chaos in Greece caused by the Iouliana of 1965. After failing to find a Greek community he could connect with in New York, Costas moved to Montreal in 1971 and became a radio programmer for Radio Centre-Ville, a Concordia University graduate and a parent. He had a hard time finding high-quality Greek restaurants in the area, so he decided to open Milos in December 1979 on Park Avenue. The Spiliadis family has full control over the Estiatorio Milos brand, due to Costas's fear of not recognizing his soul in his restaurants.
