A smartly hip update on traditional Greek tavernas, this exposed-brick, white-tabled eatery serves up delicious new takes on dishes such as moussaka and velvet-soft lamb. Start with a housemade dip taster served with piping-hot pita and don't forget to add a side of lemon potatoes. The dishes are deceptively rich and filling, and there's a full array of BC craft beers.
