• Greek • Gastown
Booked 10 times today
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.

    My best friend and I visited La Casita on a whim and absolutely loved it. The ambience is lively and energetic with comforting, dim lighting. The service was excellent. We mentioned that we were learning spanish and Juan Carlos, and a friendly (and very muscular, you are who I aspire to be) bartender lady spent the rest of our time there teaching us new phrases and words very patiently. The food was amazing as well. 10/10, we plan on visiting every two weeks.

    Great experience here! Very personalized service, lovely room. Started off with tasty complimentary bread and butter and tried the fried cauliflower and braised brisket. Braised brisket was excellent!
