Contemporary Greek cookery is typical of Mediterranean cuisine, making wide use of olive oil, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various meats, including poultry and rabbit. Typical ingredients in the Greek cuisine are the meat of the lamb or pork, kalamata olives, feta cheese, grape leaves, zucchini and yogurt. The desserts are dominated by nuts and honey. Some dishes use phyllo pastry.
One of our favorite and one of the oldest Greek restaurants in Vancouver is Simpatico Ristorante. Located on West 4th Avenue, Simpatico has delicious and authentic greek dishes as well as the best pizza. Yummy!!!
Typical Dishes: Dolmades, spanakopita, souvlaki, moussaka, kalamarakia, lokoumades and baklava
