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.

    Had a wonderful experience at The Greek. Took a friend for her birthday and she loved it! It was an unexpected surprise to see that they still had the Dine Out menu available which was great considering the items we were going to order anyway where already featured. The portions where HUGE and so filling and extremely flavorful. The servers were great and attentive, and we appreciate Katie for taking care of a couple of birthday drinks! Great spot in Yaletown to grab drinks and bites and catch up. Would recommend!!
