• Greek • Gastown

Booked 17 times today

Opening their first location in the spring of 1984, Helen Babalos & Thomas Makris brought us Anatoli Souvlaki. They had a dream of combining the food of Greece with great service to add some Mediterranean style to the North Vancouver restaurant selection. They opened in the sleepy neighbourhood of lower Lonsdale and lived above the restaurant to ensure the quality and service. They were able to create a North Vancouver staple, a successful thriving restaurant based on faithful patrons and a reputation that has been passed through generations.In 2011, the family-run restaurant was taken over by their sons Alexi and Iani. In 2015, the brothers, alongside their cousin Daniel Bergman, expanded on their parent’s dream by opening The Greek in Yaletown, with a focus on mezze-style dining. Now open in Gastown. The Greek is a reinterpretation of the North Shore's iconic Anatoli Souvlaki.

We were there for early lunch on a Monday, so it was very quiet. The food was wonderful. We both had the tomato basil soup, which was hot and satisfying, flavorful and not too much cream as so many restaurants do. I had the panzanella salad, which I loved for the preserved watermelon chunks as well as the rest of the veggies and the dressing. My husband had the veal piccata, which he said was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend!
