• Greek • Gastown

Booked 8 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.

Specializing in aburi, or flamed-seared, sushi, the act of applying flame directly and lightly searing sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the seafood.

3rd time and as always food was outstanding, soft shell crab and duck salad was excellent, My wife Pho was the best I have tasted in 30 years of eating pho at least once a month in different restaurants. Adding Foie Gras was unique but work really well. My personal preference is Cha Gio in rice paper and not wonton wrappers. Filling and Nuoc Cham was well flavoured and balanced. Highly recommend but make your reservation as early as possible.

I bring my fiancé here every year for his birthday and it never disappoints! We don’t come to Vancouver very often but if we did, this would be our first choice to eat. Cute little place, good portions for the price you pay and friendly service!

We went there to watch the Oilers vs Kings in the playoffs. Lots of televisions and a massive big screen. Great place to watch sports. Service was really good but the food was at best mediocre.
