This is a small, but clean and sleek restaurant located not far from Granville Island. They have a smaller lunch menu that is served from Wednesday to Friday, as well as a larger dinner menu. I had their Spanakopita and Moussaka off of their lunch menu. The dishes were quite good, and the prices were reasonable. I was quite impressed by their service: the food was prepared reasonably quickly and the staff I encountered were friendly and attentive. This is definitely a joint worth visiting.
Spanakopita ($10):
3.5/5
This consisted of a phyllo pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese, and served with a side of tzatziki. The phyllo was fantastic, and was hot, fresh and crispy. The filling was flavourful, although I did find the spinach to seem to have a slightly bitter aftertaste. I really enjoyed the tzatziki, which was thick and tangy, and contained a good amount of garlic.
Moussaka ($16):
3.5/5
This consisted of eggplant, zucchini, and ground meat, topped with bechamel, and came with rice, potatoes, and Greek salad. The moussaka itself was quite tasty, with the ground meat being tender and well-seasoned and the bechamel quite rich and creamy, with a nice sweet fragrance of nutmeg. Unfortunately, I did find the vegetables to again have a slightly bitter aftertaste. The sides were also quite good; the Greek salad was well dressed and had a good amount of feta while the rice was well-seasoned and fragrant.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
Recommendations: Spanakopita, Moussaka
We have been here a few times and find this to be the best Greek food in Vancouver, we really recommended the roast lamb! Don’t get delivery food may come cold so we alway pick it up or eat in!
Apollonia Greek Restaurant is a small Greek restaurant located just on the outskirts of Granville Island. Given the building renovations they were doing when we visited at the end of July, it was rather nondescript from the outside which probably explains why it wasn’t super busy. The interior seemed rather clean and avoided the overuse of white and blue colours which many other Greek restaurants in the city use.
One of our best Greek restaurants in the city. It's this place or Kalamata on Broadway. Glad my office moved nearer to this place. Only knock is that Kalamata has better rice.

Expensive, but quality Greek food. I've been there twice. Ordered the Apollonia Pizza the first time and a Rack of Lamb the second time. Oh my, what pleasures this food gives you. Not only have I ordered these foods, but I've had little bites of my friends' foods, and those were amazing too (referring to Chicken Souvlaki and other types of pizza). Honestly, the best part of the whole meal were the appetizers. Calamari, tzatziki with pita and everything in between are perfect ways to start your meal. Just don't have too much, or else you'll be full before the main course.
Great Food, nice ambiance, great service!. Out of all the Greek restaurants I've been to in Vancouver this one is my favourite!
Killer lemon potatoes (which I am very particular of). Great calamari, saganaki and the lamb souvlaki was tender and juicy.
All in all a great experience, will definitely be going back!!
Very good food. I will return for sure. Hope they can keep it up.
First time. Great food and very affordable! We had lamb and it was delish - will be returning!
One of my faves. Consistently good food. Even the delivery food is great.
Classic Greek. We frequent the Apollonia because the owners are friendly, the food is consistently good and the prices are very good for the amount of food you get. Simple formula!
