Alexis has been serving authentic Greek cuisine for more than three decades. When they moved to Cambie Street in the fall of 2008, many longtime customers happily followed. This family-owned restaurant serves home-style cooking, with generous portions at very reasonable prices. It's hard to imagine anyone leaving here hungry! Alexis' atmosphere is more relaxed urban chic than the stucco-and-beams décor of many Greek restaurants. Located beside the Park Theatre, it's a great place for dinner before the show. Or, visit afterwards for a cold beer or glass of wine and some sharing plates with friends. These small plates, known as 'meze', are a nice, lighter option, ideal for larger groups so everyone can try a lot of different dishes. There are plenty of vegetarian, seafood, and meat options. If you're looking for a full meal, the calamari and the tender roast lamb are house specialties.more...See more text
It’s hard not to feel immediately at home in a taverna that offers everything you could want from a Greek restaurant. Family run, the food is exceedingly fresh; come in on a quiet day and you can even see the chef-owner walk from his usual spot where he greets customers, into the kitchen to make you a flavourful souvlaki, spanakopita, salad, at your request. With plenty of vegetarian entrees available, and roast chicken that’s worth a commute from anywhere in the city, Alexis House Café will have both your heart and belly full with nourishment before the meal is finished.
