Charming

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.

Super fun night with friends for dinner and drinks. Super loud on a weekend night but that was expected and added to the experience. Food was good and drinks were excellent. Will definitely be coming back.

Great experience and service. The server forgot one of our dishes but we didn't really need it though so we did not flag it. Would definitely come back.

A very trendy decor and energetic atmosphere. Very cozy upstairs. A great way to start a romantic date. A bit on the Loyd side, and parking is a bit of a pain. However, worth it!
