Since 1986 Paros Taverna has been serving the tri cities area Greek food using select ingredients and following authentic time-tested recipes.
Wow! One of the best places to eat in Canada. Food is on the mark. On weekends they have the real deal belly dancer, this is a lot of fun. Try the platters, this cover most of the menu on one setting. Service is great AAA+.
The owners are from a time when customer service, value and food quality were important, simple to tell from walking in the door.
I work nearby this place and this place is a poor value in Greek food. $16 for a kalamari dinner?
This place is just as bad as the even more overpriced Greek joint down the hill at North Rd and Lougheed. Tsolias I think...
The kalamari was ok, a little fishy smelling, the salad ok, the bread ok, the Greek rice?.... THE WORST EVER. I thought I was eating Spanish rice... It was so overly seasoned or drenched in tomato or whatever sauce, it was BRIGHT RED. I thought the rice was supposed to compliment the meal, NOT DOMINATE IT.
TOTALLY UNWORTH $16. Call me a bourgeois or unsophisticated, but until you can show me a restaurant that can offer a kalamari dinner as good as Stepho's for $10
There seems to be some invisible standard for Greek food in Vancouver that no restaurant seems to be able to measure up to. Nuts to that. My bf and I went to Paros for lunch the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it. The place was busier than I had seen it recently but there was no problem being shown quickly to a table and given the best service I've had in a l-o-o-o-n-g time anywhere. I had chicken souvlaki, he had roast lamb and we split an appetizer. The food was on par with Greek food I've had in Montreal, Toronto and elsewhere in the lower mainland. This is the third time we've been here and it won't be the last. The food is consistently enjoyable and the service outstanding.
The thing with greek food is that I think pretty much anyone with some skills can make a great greek salad and some tzatziki sauce, so to me I judge a greek restaurant on its lamb and calamari. At this establishment they come in first with their roasted lamb and calamari. They do not use the A typical herb crusted seasoned lamb..by my guessing they use some mustard and other ingredients which give it a bit more bite then the average greek taverna. My taste buds love it along with my family. So really it is all to your own, as far as the calamari goes it is lovely and crisp.
Greek food I find at any taverna is always overpriced, the key is the lunch specials. At Paros you get the same amount for half the price mon-fri, so if you can wing it on a weekday I would try it out.
The other thing is I haven't been there in awhile but I know they use to have bellydancing on the weekends and special occasions, so that was fun!!
group of 10 on a Friday night w/no reservations. not busy. we know why. dh had roast lamb, I had calamari. we frequent My Greek Taverna for lunch & their lunch portions were larger than dinner portions here. Flavour: both not as good as Greek Taverna on Brunette. Rice was soggy + mushy, calamari was okay but not crispy + tasty. Roast lamb was okay, but not flavourful like the other place we favour. Belly dancer was friendly + did a great job w/our group, creating lots of laughs.
But for greek, we'll be returning to Brunette St. for our fix.
