1. Serano Bakery
A block and a half away from the Mortimer campus of Centennial College and a 5 minute walk north of Pape station is one of my favourite bakeries. I'm in the hood, and these guys have been whipping up pastries and desserts (not just of the greek…More »
2. Mezes
Toronto, ON M4K 1P4
(416) 778-5150
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
VIBE
This is one of the most popular Greek restaurants on The Danforth and whether you like it or not, there's always a line up to get a table, especially on a weekend. Expect to wait about 20 minutes on a Saturday night. That said, the hostess does…More »

Neighbourhoods: Financial District, Downtown Core
VIBE
Volos is in the heart of downtown at York and Richmond right across from the Sheraton and beside the Hilton so this is definitely a great place for business travelers. But after my visit, I think it will be a hit with locals. As a Danforth…More »
4. Messini Authentic Gyros
Toronto, ON M4K 1P1

Categories:
Greek,

Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
VIBE
Right in the heart of Greektown, this place is always bustling and on weekends is open until the wee hours of the night. Perfect if you're in the east end and don't want to wait in line for poutine or burritos elsewhere. Or well, if you're…More »
5. Mr Greek Mediterranean Grill
Toronto, ON M4K 1P8

Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhoods: The Danforth, Greektown
Mr. Greek was like THE original Greek restaurant before it franchised itself out and I've seen it go through its reincarnations. It may be considered fast food fodder or as Mariko puts it "The Milestones of Greek Food" and not as exquisite as other…More »

Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale

It's old. It's been around for a long time. I'm sure some of the staff has as well. The point is it's not fancy. If you want a fancier place, Messini may be a better bet. But the patio facing the fountain smack dab in the heart of the Danforth…More »
7. Asteria Souvlaki Place
Toronto, ON M4K 1N6
(416) 466-5273
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: The Danforth
I'm changing my star from 5 to 4 based on the fact that they take no debit and a bit of a surly attitude from my waitress. If you're sitting in front of the menu, at least get up to give me one! Come on!
Still amazing chicken. This time I had the…More »

As Greek as you can get on the Danforth. Two Greek men at the grill.… Read more »

Neighbourhoods: Greektown, Riverdale
One of my favourite snack places in the city, hands down. Great little pit stop if taking a long walk on the Danforth.

A little bit Greek, a little bit not. You've got a sit down in the back. Nothing special on the paint sponged walls but I…More »

I came here for take out but the vibe is your standard typical Greek restaurant. Patio is great in the summer but I miss the fountain. That said, the service was terrible. How many times do I have to say to the cook (yes, the cook took the order…More »

3.5 stars
VIBE
Ouzeri is in the heart of Greektown on The Danforth. It's one of the nicer places to get your Greek fix or go on a date in the nabe. I love the big, black tiles on the floor and the rusticity of the orange paint on the walls. The walls…More »
