how much will a decent meal of greek food cost? i've never had them nor do i know where to get some haha. but i'm hoping to try some out.

[Supafly]

not expensive.....usual is 15 per plate... decent portions everywhere.....


finding a place that sells really good greek food is that hard part..

[Slif]

my favourite little place is kalamatta on broadway and cambie's southeast corner - not too busy, and a killer lamb dish that meeeeeeeeeeeeelts in your mouth for ~$15

[Boostaholic]

I don't think that's a Greek restaurant.

[TRDude]

the little greek house thingy next to richmond public market?

[Rhetorical]

the greek restaurant on westminster (btwn no. 3 and 2, i think) is pretty good. i forget what it's called.

[mickz]

I went to this place in Burnaby on E Hastings + Boundary with my girlfriend. I forgot what the name was but it's right on the corner across the street from Comor. Around $12.

[gars]

i tried to go to Mad Greek's today.... and it's called lemongrass cafe or something like that now...

anyone know where they moved? or did they just close completely??

i went to felico's instead.... i really felt like greek food.

[XtC_13aBy]

my friend worked at Kalypso, maybe try it out???!! i myself yet to try it out...hehehe

stepho's is supposed to be the cheapest around..for good quality.

most meals are around 15 for a dish, yeah and if u getting appetizers (calamari!!!!) then prepare to spend more.

Trocadero is more italian than greek. gf and I go there quite often and for the price you pay, the food is pretty good.

i went to kalypso last night...portions were good and we got free appy's because the guy was out front handing out coupons

but i wasnt very impressed with my lamb souvlaki, only the 2 middle peices were tender, the rice and other sides were decent though

[arsenic]

^Ah. What are the prices like? I want to use my Entertainment coupon :D hahaha.

[keifun]

mmm Kalamarakia Yemista (stuffed squid) with tsatziki sauce FTW!
:D

[ekim]

I've heard that Taki's which is near Stephos is pretty good too. This one Greek guy said that it's better than Stephos and without the huge line-ups.

[SiR001]

went there last night early dinner after class, waited 10min, went in, told us to start the line up outside as the inside was full. :D... stuffed myself silly

[ineedmoreboost]

If you are ever on the sunshine coast in Sechelt try Daphne restaurant great prices and the best greek food you will ever have.

[Boostaholic]

i went to stepho today. it was pretty good. it got pretty packed after we got there. really packed for a wednesday night.

Ahhh where do they make yemista kalamaria?!?!

i pmed you

[Slif]

I tried Mad Greek for the first time today - the appetizer platter was quite good - lightly battered kalamari, and a bunch of other stuff

I tried the roast lamb as is my tradition - and it was fork tender yes, but not particularly tasty - I still definitely prefer Kalamatta's

the crowd had lots of families and groups - service was attentive and friendly - I wouldn't order the roast lamb again, but I'd be willing to give it another try in the future

also, we got there really early, but by the time we were done - there was a fairly healthy line-up out the door - so make sure you book a reservation

[Meowjin]

^ did you see a guy with white hair, bossing around the waitresses?

Because that was probably my father :lol:

[leilomo]

what about simpatico's? anybody heard of that place?

[jonny_five]

kisamos in steveston is my fav greek restaurant. they got a few cute chicks there too especially a girl named carly :D

[2ZZPower]

Felicos in Richmond n also that spooger place under Sry Central sky train station is pretty good too, by some library n hockey shop.!

[P902]

Lots of people seem to like Stepho's here.. . I personally don't like the food that much. It's alright, and the portions are large, so when I feel like stuffing my face with greek food, and not spending much, i go there.

Kalypso on Robson, i've tried quite a few thigns on their menu, and have been there many times, but really, the Kleftiko (roast lamb), is the best dish, all the others are mediocre. The dude standing outside offering free appies is definitely a bonus!

[Meowjin]

wait a minute... is it authentic kleftiko?

Like roast lamb stew cooked in a pie/phillo pastry?

haven't been to a greek restaurant that can rival trocaderos in terms of taste qaulity and qauntity!!! its been a neighbourhood favourite for over 30 years.

i guess not, it's just slow roasted lamb shoulder. very tasty though

I have a few favourites

Kefi on Lougheed in Coquitlam
Santorini at Lougheed/North Road
Adonis on Granville

[Ch28]

I recently tried a new place on Broadway/Cambie called Kamakis Greek Taverna. It's a small restaurant beside the old Afghan Horsemen.

We were originally looking to try "Kalamatta" since Slif gave it such high praise but I forgot the name of the restaurant. All I remembered was the restaurant name started with a K and he mentioned cambie/broadway so I assumed this was the restaurant he was talking about.

I ordered their roast lamb and my gf had their pressed chicken breast/tomato sauce entree. We also ordered their kalamari appetizer to start.

The kalamari was pretty good and had the right tenderness. The pressed chicken breast dish was pretty good. Usually I'm not a fan of chicken breast entrees at restaurants because I find that they're a bit too dry but it was pretty tender. My roast lamb was delicious and fork tender. The meat fell right off the bone and there was no need for the knife.

All their entrees come with rice, pita bread and greek salad. The pita bread was warm and fluffy and their greek salad was nice and fresh.

Service was excellent and the chef (owner as well) came out to give us some more pita bread and to chat about our dishes and how everything tasted.

I think there were only 6 tables of 4 in there so it's a pretty small place but the service was great and the food was excellent.

[miss_crayon]

*chants* mad greek! mad greek!

on a side note, stay away from santorinis on north road. so not good!

[aznrsx1979]

^^ is that the place on north road and lougheed highway? i know there's a greek restuarant there but i don't remember the name.

[miznorthvanmike]

Pasparos on west 3rd street (west of lonsdale) in North Van is very very good.......roast lamb, calamari and all traditional foods to die for! You definitely have to love garlic to eat here.

is stephos that place where the line up is like always really long? never ate there before but it must be really good to be always full like that

how much is it? like 15 bucks a plate?

[Meowjin]

I should open a traditional greek resteraunt. Serving a side of rice and pita bread isn't greek food.

Personally I'd like to see some stefado, some seaside food like crab, pan fried calamari, pastitso, faki, and other greek dishes. Sadly this wouldn't pass off here I guess just because everyone expects alot of low quality food for cheap.

One dish I really like to see is auya me domates, essentially eggs with tomotoes, where the eggs are fried in oil then tomato sauce is added and eaten with feta cheese.

Damn that sounds http://smiliesftw.com/x/yumyum.gif (http://smiliesftw.com)

Are there any places that serve that here?

[matrixfwd]

I tried the Stephos and felt like a real idiot after eating the food and realized i waited 45 minutes in line for this??? I'm not saying the food is bad, but it's pretty regular.

Really Stepho's was not worth it due to the need to line up.

I frequent Mad Greek and quite happy with it. I also tried the place at Steveston in Richmond next to the fish and chip place a few days ago and was quite impressed. Portions are adequate and price is very reasonable. It's cheaper then mad Greek.

However, Mad Greek did rais there prices not too long ago.

[ekim]

I hear that Taki's that's near Stephos is good with less of a line-up. Have yet to try but hope to soon.

If santorinis is the one on north road and lougheed, I remember getting snubbed there at least 5yrs ago lol. GF and I was literally standing there for 5-10mins with no service. The employees saw us and just kept on walking; they weren't even busy. Perhaps they had something against asians; racist maybe? :mad:

[STREET-RACER]

my favorite Greek restaurant is Stepho's on Davie Street, all dishes around $10, have to try the lamb if you are a lamb lover..

place is very busy, almost constant line up in front, i would recommend to go with a few friends since they only take resversation for 5 or more ..

link here (http://www.dinehere.ca/restaurant.asp?r=155)

[ASG111]

anyone tried Felicos? How are they?

[Kim Jong Un]

stepho's cheap, good food too! downside is that you gotta call in first otherwise you're lining up

[mako]

My Greek by Lougheed and Brunette

the roast lamb never disappoints

[sonick]

the greek restaurant on westminster (btwn no. 3 and 2, i think) is pretty good. i forget what it's called.

Mad Greek, awesome.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

stepho, all its got is the portion kinda like antons

[Inaii]

+1 for Kalypso :) Mind you I'm biased, the owners are close family friends and my Grandfather used to be a part owner. Good food nonetheless, although if you're going to get lamb, get the roasted stuff, not the souvlaki.
