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.[1][2][3]
Spiliadis was born in Patras, Greece in 1947 and immigrated to New York in 1966 to study criminology at New York University[4] 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.[5] The Spiliadis family has full control over the Estiatorio Milos brand, due to Costas's fear of not recognizing his soul in his restaurants.[6]
