Andonis - A Taste of Greece on Vancouver's Granville Street
📍 Address: 1193 Granville St, Vancouver ✨ First Impressions Step inside and be transported to the whitewashed alleys of Santorini! With lush greenery, Grecian sculptures, and azure accents, the ambiance is pure Mediterranean magic. Came for the aesthetics, stayed for the unexpectedly phenomenal food—and just when we thought it couldn't get better, the staff surprised us with a traditional Greek dance performance! 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes 🍝 Calamarata Pasta A Greek twist on pasta—al dente rings smothered in rich cheese sauce with wild mushrooms and truffle undertones. Comfort food elevated! 🍄 Mushroom Stifado Think "Greek grandma’s secret recipe"—earthy, tender mushrooms in an aromatic herb broth. Pro tip: Soak up the juices with their crusty bread. 🐤 Souvlaki (Chicken Skewers) Juicy doesn’t even begin to cover it. These massive skewers let the quality of the free-range chicken shine, with just a kiss of lemon and oregano. 🦑 Octopus Grilled to perfection—charred yet tender, served with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. A masterclass in simplicity. 🍊 Portokalopita (Orange Cake) Zesty, moist, and crowned with a cloud of vanilla cream. The ideal finale to a hearty meal. 💡 Insider Tips Go for dinner to catch impromptu Greek dances (usually around 8-9PM)! Portions are generous—shareables recommended for groups. Dietary notes: Vegetarian-friendly options available (ask about the spanakopita!). #VancouverEats #GreekFood #HiddenGems
