About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
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.

    Always an amazing time at the Greek but we usually go to the Yaletown location. Tried out Gastown and they absolutely killed it on service, food, overall experience. The Greek restaurants are my favorite in Vancouver

    We made a reservation for our wedding anniversary and noted that it was our anniversary. The service was very lackluster and unfriendly. The Greek salad and spanakopita were fantastic but the calamari was incredibly rubbery and the meat dishes were way too salty. The ambiance was nice but the house music playing was really a mood killer. Overall the negatives mean we definitely wouldn't return, especially as it was rather pricey.

    The food and service were excellent. Unfortunately, the music level was extremely loud. It was impossible to carry on a conversation with our table mates. Other guests were yelling at each other in order to be heard, therefore, enabling us to hear their conversations too.
