The family-run The Greek by Anatoli<\/a> in Yaletown is one of the few local Greek restaurants known for the beautiful patio with hip vibe and reasonable pricing. I’m a fan of their\u00a0Country Lamb, as well as the “Meritage” red blend<\/a>, which is produced at their own vineyard in Okanagan.\u00a0 They have just opened another location in Gastown that offers the same family-style share plates and vibrant atmosphere as its sister restaurants in Yaletown and North Vancouver, which they are showcasing in the upcoming\u00a0Gastown Cocktail Crawl<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Vancouver Gourmet Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I came here with food writer Areta (@foodgressing<\/a>) and model James (@j_mesm_rtin<\/a>) to take a peek of the cocktail crawl menu here.<\/p>\n

We were impressed by the modern and elegant dining room with Mediterranean inspired touches.\u00a0 The\u00a0food and beverage menus are similar to The Greek Yaletown with all the fan favourites. Apparently there is also live performing entertainment on weekend evenings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
