One whiff of the aroma from this kitchen is enough to transport diners from the West Coast's rainy winter streets to the Greek Isle's sunny shorelines. This large Kitsilano restaurant has two dining floors with a rustic charm, and walls adorned with pictures of Greeks in traditional costumes. The blue-on-blue checkered tablecloths add a touch of the Mediterranean. Start with the Hummus and Pita appetizer, then move on to the Lamb Souvlaki or Moussaka for an entrée. Retsina is the beverage of choice here. Finish it off with a honeyed Baklava for dessert.
The painting of a bright red wagon catches the eye and prompts a closer look at this restaurant. The Red Wagon Café has become a favorite among the locals in the years since its establishment. Their pulled pork pancakes and sausages are to die for as are their different sandwich options and light and delicious salads. The decor here is like any classic 70s diner with checkered floors, chalkboard specials lists and pretty lamps. All in all, this is a great place to go to for a relaxed and casual family meal.
