Opening their first location in the spring of 1984, Helen Babalos & Thomas Makris brought us Anatoli Souvlaki. They had a dream of combining the food of Greece with great service to add some Mediterranean style to the North Vancouver restaurant selection. They opened in the sleepy neighbourhood of lower Lonsdale and lived above the restaurant to ensure the quality and service. They were able to create a North Vancouver staple, a successful thriving restaurant based on faithful patrons and a reputation that has been passed through generations.In 2011, the family-run restaurant was taken over by their sons Alexi and Iani. In 2015, the brothers, alongside their cousin Daniel Bergman, expanded on their parent’s dream by opening The Greek in Yaletown, with a focus on mezze-style dining. Now open in Gastown. The Greek is a reinterpretation of the North Shore's iconic Anatoli Souvlaki.

    I didnt know Mosaic Grille had a breakfast buffet until i did a staycation 2 years ago and decided to visit again before they closed for renovation. Staff have always been nice and attentive. The food selection was not amazingly large compared to vegas buffet. But had what i liked, such as the smoked salmon, the yogurt granola bar and the fresh fruit bar. Their pastries section looked amazing (but i didnt try) Some of the hot food items were interesting because of personal preference, such as the french toast pudding. The staff at the omelette bar was very patient and cheerful while getting through the lineup of guests wanting the omelette. He even accommodated a guest for a sunny side up egg request, which i didnt expect. They will be closed for renovation for the next few months.
