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.

    What an amazing experience at Loula’s for my best friend’s birthday! We had a big group of 10 and our experience was excellent from before we even sat down. The wonderful Sierra worked some magic to fit our big table in and then the incredible Paige took phenomenal care of us all night! The food and drinks were top notch – I already can’t wait to go back. Thank you Loula’s!

    Had the impression that this restaurant was going to be super rowdy but it was actually a really lovely place to come for a romantic date. Loved this setting. The food was wonderful and very big portions. I enjoyed the decor and the lively music. Overall, a really great experience on a Thursday night.

    Had to ask for their Happy Hour menu. Expected their gyros to be hot but they were mildly warm. The steak in the gyro was quite tough and chewy. The gyro was not toasted either. Somewhat expensive for the amount of meat that was in the gyros.

    the lamb shoulder wasn’t tender and steak frites was too salty. we found sand like sediment at the bottom of our red wine which was extremely unpleasant to consume. very disappointing.

    Wonderful food, excellent service, great ambiance. Only complaint is the music. Loud and repetitive, A little variety would be good.

    Had an amazing time at Loula’s yesterday! It was the perfect spot for a catch-up with my girlfriends – the vibe was cozy yet lively, and the decor really gave off those authentic Greek island vibes. We tried a mix of dishes, and everything was delicious! The mocktails and cocktails were fun and refreshing, adding a great touch to our evening. Service was friendly and attentive, making sure we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Definitely a go-to for good food, great company, and a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere!

    Food was excellent, service was terrible. We were moved from our original table before we finished our meal to another one because they wanted to accommodate a large group. At the second table, we were told we needed to move again which was unacceptable. We found out when we were leaving that the group that was seated next to us at our original table were moved to our table, while we were moved to a table at the back. Why? Very disappointing experience and definitely will not be going back.

    Maybe the kitchen was having an off night, but 1/3 dishes at the table came out cold and heavily over salted. Watermelon salad also shouldn’t be offered anymore if it doesn’t taste fresh and balanced with the ingredients you added. The mint was overpowering and heightened the bitterness of the arugula. But what ended up getting me was that their phyllo pastry dessert (3 thin sheets) and a small dollop of custard on the side with some candied orange rind was $13? Like come on.. what is this, a dessert for ants? Your mains are averaging $38 and your dessert doesn’t even give us 1/3 of that value.

    Asked for tap water and waiter brought bottled water and charged us. We made revelations and still have to wait to get seated. Service was awful it took them almost 15 minutes to get us our drinks. They charged us for drinks they never brought and then tried to bring it last minute as we were paying so they could still charge us (we were ready to leave). Awful service, extremely overpriced. Won’t be coming here again
