Greece Restaurant

I went here with my bf to get our greek food fix. The service was quick and great but I found the dinner menu to be a little pricey when looking at the portion sizes. I got the souvlaki dinner plate and was a little disappointed that they totally loaded my plate up with a ton of salad and potatoes and very little meat. Kind of ruined our first impression of the place (although we love to support local restaurants in our area). Might give it another try in the future but can’t say it’s my first choice.

A lovely little «mom and pop» greek restaurant. Everything is made from scratch, and it shows. My favourite has to the app plater, with humus, tzatziki, and taramasalata. Little bit of this, little bit of that. The service is warm and friendly, and they went out of their way to make sure my Grandma was comfy.

I was craving Greek food this evening and discovered Greece restaurant via online search.
The place is casual. Small and dated looking with some paintings of Greece on the wall.
The menu is basic, and perfect for my needs this evening. I don’t think I saw any grilled octopus, but I could be wrong…
The service was prompt. We were there pretty early, like 6 pm. It began to fill up as we were leaving.
I had:
Tripple dip appetizer platter. I was craving taramasalata. This did not disappoint! The pita was warm and fresh. Portion was perfect for 2 to share. A third could probably also have gotten in on it.
Chicken souvlaki stick — good size portion. Tender meet. Slightly bland.
Large village salad — This was good, but the tomatoes could have bee fresher. Maybe vine tomatoes would have tasted better.
My friend had the pork souvlaki dinner — meat, salad, potatoes, rice, $ 16 or $ 17 I think.
Total — $ 60 (tip included)
All in all I was very satisfied when I left Greece restaurant. i’m happy to have found it, and I will return.

VIBE
This was an impromptu surprise when I find out that Penrose fish and chips was closed at 7 pm (oh, the joys of being on Mount Pleasant!)
I think this is the only other restaurant that doesn’t look fancy nor do you have to pay over $ 16 for an entrée (yes, I’m looking at you Simple Bistro).
Décor is non-​descript –there are a few pictures of Greece in the wall. Why is this so typical of Greek restaurants in Toronto?!
Another thing typical of Greeks: The staff are stubborn. From my experienced in the actual country, this is spot on.
A play by play of my conversation with the waitress:
«I’d like the sauce on the side. «you no want it on top?» «no the side.» «ok I put it on top.» Ummmm… even when they’re wrong and you’re literally showing them they’re wrong, they think they’re right! (cough cough economic crisis COUGH). I had to tell the waitress twice that I didn’t want the dinner, I wanted the a la carte. Sigh…
In a weird way, though, she was charming and sweet.
I ATE
I had a souvlaki «stick» which was about 5 good hunks of chicken souvlaki for about $ 5.50 For two sticks at Mr. Greek’s on the Danforth you can get it for about $ 4. The rice actually came with no legitimate «sauce.» There was some lemon compote on top. Obviously, I could have made it at home and it was $ 5. Again, I didn’t really have a choice. This was a last resort type of deal. When in Greece… on Mount Pleasant…
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
A good last resort restaurant if you find yourself on Mount Pleasant. One of the more reasonable, casual places on Mount Pleasant. If you want the authentic Greek experience, this is it!

The food is ok and fits the bill. It’s a notch up from Jimmy the Greek, has a mom and pop feel, but I much prefer the Greek restaurants in the Danforth. It’s good for the locals that live in the Mount Pleasant area, but not worth the drive in my opinion.

I’ve been here a few times. Food is alway great, service is always friendly. Nick the owner really cares about his restaurant and the people who dine here. Also, check out all those maps on the walls and brush up on your Greek history!

Expensive and below average.
I have honestly had better Greek food at the food court. Really disappointing.

The food at Greece Restaurant is excellent. Portions are big and the value for money is pretty great. I ate the chicken souvlaki and it was really tasty. I also shared a carafe of the Greek red wine on the menu. The wine wasn’t amazing, but again — good value for money.

It spells Greece, and its as welcoming as the warm country in the Mediterranean Sea. Small menu and big big flavours, no need for more dramas or… tragedies.
This small family restaurant makes the juiciest meat I have tested so far in a Greek place in TO. No need to drive down to other places for a good grill, Mt Pleasant Rd. is full of surprises. I find the food at Greece simple and satisfying, cooked from the heart. Very good value, and efficiently served. When I take a break from cooking I come here for my urge of BBQ. Lucky to find a seat every time.
Definitely a bright star of my 5-​Stars Club.

When I first saw this restaurant I laughed at its name, «Greece» Restaurant. I looked at the menu pasted on their window. They had a variety of things on their menu at an inexpensive price, so I gave this place a shot.
The restaurant is small, cozy and clean. The service was great, the food was okay, nothing too great (I had lamb souvlaki) and inexpensive. Don’t expect generous portions though.
They had a few things on their dessert menu, but only had baklava that day. The baklava was okay too, I’ve had better, and the Greek coffee was nice!
