The Balkan is one of a few representatives of a culinary genre that is rare in the Canadian west; garlic and olive oil spiced Greek dining. While far from the rustling orchards and soft breezes of the Mediterranean, this Hellenic spot still manages to serve up a mean platter of kalamari and keftethes. Colorful Mediterranean paintings and marble busts are interspersed with clambering, tangled vines. The 20 or so tables fill up quickly around suppertime, so it's a good idea to reserve.
