Stepho's Vancouver

I had some of the best Greek food I've ever had tonight! Stepho's Souvlaki Greek Taverna had some really good food. We had noticed this spot on Saturday, and by notice, I am referring to the lineup of people outside the restaurant. There was easily 12-15 people on Saturday around 2pm, waiting to get in. We wondered, could the food be that good. Tonight, we were walking around and figured we would find a good spot to eat. We ended up making our way up Davie Street, 2 blocks north of Burrard, and the lineup outside the restaurant caught our eyes again. We decided to go see what was all the fuss about! Theresa went in, and asked if the lineup would go down in a few hours and the front person said not really. We decided to wait the line. Surprisingly the line went pretty fast. It was the first time that I went into a restaurant waiting area to be moved to a secondary waiting area, almost like at the hospital where you go in, check in and then get to see the nurse and then wait again to see the Dr. Well we waited to be seated. Here's a few photos of the outside of the restaurant, the inside followed by shots of the food plates that were very generous! :)

We decided to start off with some tzatziki and pita. The tzatziki was nice and spicy with a good garlic flavor. Some of the tastiest tzatziki that I have ever tasted! The pita was also very special and tasted really fresh. It felt like they just came out of the oven! Really good!

As you can see, the portions for this plate were really big! I ordered the souvlaki, it was a chicken and lamb skewer. It came with rice, potatoes and greek salad. All was very tasty, the lamb was delicious! The whole plate was really good and I would definitely recommend it. The image below is the mousaka. I had never seen anything like it, as you can see from the photo, it's HUGE! Theresa said it was also tasty. There was a good amount of eggplant which she liked very much. Overall, we were both really happy with the selections, and on top of getting good and tasty food it was relatively cheap. It only cost us about $33 without tip, but that also included two soft drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Vancouver!
