WHO ARE WE?
We’re the second generation of two Greek families that came to Canada to open some of Vancouver’s longest running restaurants.

Now, we’re taking everything we’ve learned from them to offer a brand new dining experience.

WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?
Loula’s is the Greek nostalgia of our upbringing infused with modern dining trends that have intrigued us. The atmosphere and cuisine are an homage to our namesake, a woman dear to our hearts who always leaves you in good spirits with a full stomach. Expect that overwhelmingly authentic Greek experience when you step through our doors—along with a few other things you won’t expect. You’ll just have to trust us.

WHERE ARE WE?
We’re located in the heart of Commercial drive, a spot we feel quite at home in. If you know anything about The Drive, you know it’s warm, vivacious and a little kooky.

Just like Loula.

Food is delicious. Might be the best Greek around. Space is not made for big people or easily movable room for elders. Bar can only seat petite people. Must make reservation if you want to eat there on the weekends.

Came for a holiday girls dinner, service was fantastic, food recommendations and wine pairing were great. One guest has severe allergies and they were very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Unfortunately, the food was overly salted and not good. The service, however, especially from our server and the host was lovely.
