Anatoli Souvlaki at 5 Lonsdale Avenue suits a casual Greek dinner of mezze and charcoal-grilled souvlaki about 300 metres from the SeaBus terminal, from a family that has run the room since 1984. Online it now goes by The Greek by Anatoli, so search that name to book or order.
What to order
- Charcoal-grilled souvlaki
- A spread of mezze for the table
Helen Babalos and Thomas Makris opened Anatoli Souvlaki at the foot of Lonsdale Avenue in 1984, before Lonsdale Quay went up for Expo 86. Their sons Iani and Alexi Makris run it now. They've also opened restaurants in Vancouver under the Greek by Anatoli name, and the family's website lists this one as The Greek's North Vancouver location. On 19 April 2024 the restaurant marked 40 years with a one-day menu at 1984 prices.
The family pitches the Lonsdale room on mezze and coastal wines, with the souvlaki grilled over charcoal. Book a table or order takeout from the North Vancouver page of The Greek by Anatoli's website, and DoorDash and Uber Eats both deliver from it.
Worth knowing
- Look for The Greek by Anatoli when you book online, since the family's website no longer uses the Anatoli Souvlaki name.
