Greek
Restaurant
A family owned restaurant that has been around forever, Socrates Greek Taverna serves delicious good valued Greek and Italian food.  Items on the Greek menu include Saganaki, an Appetizer platter for two, Roast Lamb, Chicken Athenia, Chicken Souvlaki, Calamari, Moussaka, and more.

On the Italian side, you will find an assortment of pizzas and pastas.

Food portions are good - especially if you get takeout.  For $14.95, the roast lamb for instance is enough to feed two.

The atmosphere can be a bit dark  and it can sometimes be a little bit on the cold side but the restaurant is very spacious and they have lovely hardwood floors.

Getting there:
Situated near the intersection of Sperling and Hastings.  There is parking in the back if you go straight down Sperling past hastings and turn left.

I first discovered this place after wondering for ages how it could be in business for being so empty all the time. When I finally tried it, I was totally blown away. It is currently my absolute favourite greek restaurant ever. When I moved to Montreal, I was not able to find a replacement, nor in Toronto, nor now in Mountain View, and goodness knows I've tried. Their roast lamb is unbelievably juicy and their rice and potatoes are fantastic. I think every entree comes with your choice of greek or caesar salad, as well as pita bread and tzatziki. Sooo good. Highly recommended.

(Btw, I think they are empty because the volume comes primarily from takeout).

I lived in Vancouver for years, passing Socrates nearly every day without going in.

Finally about a year before I graduated we ventured in and were sorry we waited so long! It's the first place I go when I go back to visit - phenomenal food, huge portions at fair prices and really terrific staff. You won't find better roast lamb anywhere in the world!

My favourite Greek restaurant and trust me, I've had a lot.

I like to order take-out because I find the portions to be bigger ;)
