Dishcrawl Vancouver: Kits Bits & Bites Food Adventure

on February 14, 2013 in Burgers, Dessert, Greek, Kitsilano, Mexican, Pizza

Over the past few years, Vancouver has seen its fair share of food trends come and go. Although I rarely subscribe to fads, I have taken a personal interest in the emergent business concept of food tour companies. When executed properly, I feel they have the potential to offer an engaging dining experience to tourists [...]

Anatoli Souvlaki North Vancouver Review

on January 31, 2012 in Greek

Anatoli Souvlaki is located in the heart of Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. Thomas and Helen Makris opened the restaurant almost thirty years ago back in 1984, and as it stands, their two sons Alexi and Iani have taken over the reigns to this longstanding North Shore establishment to bring on the best in Greek [...]

Double DD Pizza Review

on January 30, 2012 in Family, Greek, Italian, Kitsilano, Pizza

Our favourite local pizza joint, Napoletana Pizza, still hasn’t reopened since a fire ravaged the restaurant. So, we’ve been on the lookout for a comparable pizza parlour for replacement and checked out Double DD Pizza for dinner last week. Located on West 4th Avenue and Collingwood Street, Double DD Pizza has been serving its Kitsilano [...]

Eugene’s Greek Restaurant Review – Oak Bay (Victoria, BC)

on September 28, 2011 in Greek

Eugene’s Greek Restaurants have been popular on Vancouver Island for well over 30 years. They’re famous for their quick, tasty, and well-priced Greek dishes. When we lived in Victoria, we’d frequent their downtown location, but apparently, it has since closed – does anyone know when that happened? I guess we’ve been out of the loop! [...]

on August 26, 2011 in Greek, West End

A West End legend and Vancouver staple, Stepho’s Souvlaki Greek Taverna is one of the most famous restaurants in the city, and has been for over two decades. Why is Stepho’s still so popular after all these years? Why do customers battle lineups even in the worst weather? Well, there are a few explanations. First [...]

Vassilis Souvlaki Greek Taverna Burnaby Review

on May 30, 2011 in Burnaby, Greek

We were meeting another couple in Burnaby for dinner a while ago, and had all decided on eating Greek food. Consulting both trusty Urbanspoon and Yelp to see which Greek restaurants were located in the Burnaby area, we decided on Vassilis Souvlaki Greek Taverna. The restaurant appeared to have respectable reviews, having won “Best Greek [...]

Olympia Pizza – Greek Restaurant Review

on May 27, 2011 in Greek, Kitsilano, Vegetarian

Friends of ours, a Canadian couple who were visiting from Singapore, were craving Greek food because it’s hard to come by in South East Asia. Since we had all previously eaten early dinners, we weren’t overly famished. So, we decided to share a few dishes between the four of us at Olympia Pizza. The restaurant [...]

Maria’s Souvlaki Review (Sidney, BC)

on May 14, 2011 in Greek

Maria’s Souvlaki is a casual Greek restaurant with relaxed informal indoor and outdoor seating. Since it is a deli style establishment, customers place their orders at the counter, choose to sit wherever their want, and servers will bring their food to them promptly. Located on 2nd Street, just off of Beacon Avenue, this is one [...]

Helen's Grill & Restaurant on Main St and King Edward

on April 24, 2009 in Canadian, Diner, Greek, Vancouver

I’ve driven past Helen’s Grill & Restaurant on Main and King Edward many times. The place looks really old school from the outside and whenever I’ve walked by, the portions have looked humongous. So, we finally decided to give Helen’s Grill a try. Helen’s Grill was fairly busy on a Saturday afternoon. We stopped in [...]
