Greek restaurants in Los Angeles

  1. A

    Papa Cristo's

    You'll kick up your heels like Zorba himself after filling your tummy with Greek soul food at this frenzied bistro in the shadow of St Sophia Cathedral. The gyros are the real deal and the rack of lamb is a steal at around $10. Gather your posse and come for the Big Fat Greek Thursday Night Dinner at 18:30, when tables bend with nibbles and belly dancers perform.

    Papadakis Taverna

    The gods have been smiling upon this award-winning Greek restaurant for decades, possibly because Tom and John are usually around to welcome old hands and newcomers with Hellenic charm. Or possibly because the food's just that good. Crisp salads, succulent lamb and creative pastas (try pasta Vassiliko with Greek sausage) all fill the tummy nicely. Opa!

    Petros Greek Cuisine & Lounge

    Petros – the place that launched a thousand positive reviews – may be new on the scene, but top-notch service, superb Greek specialties and a friendly, upscale vibe have made this charmer worthy of critics’ kudos. Locals like it too. Grab a seat on the people-watching patio or lose your baseball cap for a dress code–worthy experience indoors.

    Taverna Tony

    This lively Greek spot fronted by a flowery terrace packs them in day after day with finger-lickin' fare that feeds both the soul and belly. For a serious indulgence, loosen your belt and order the Greek Feast ($33 per person; two-person minimum) with 15 different dishes. Reservations advised.

    George's Greek Café

    George's is the heart of the Pine Ave restaurant row, both geographically and spiritually. George himself may greet you at the entrance on the generous patio, and locals cry 'Opa!' for the saganaki (flaming cheese) and lamb chops.
