Having grown up in Chicago and lived in New York for 8 years before moving to Toronto a year and a half ago, my wife and I have been searching for the type of excellent, authentic Greek food to which we are accustomed. We had only found good Greek food in Toronto until this restaurant - Athens deserves the rating... more
The best Greek restaurant located in Greek Town of Toronto. The restaurant gives you a chance to feel the real Greek soul in Canada. The grilled pork is my favorite... However, you can taste the other Greek dishes also.
I love Greek food and have tried every restaurant on the Danforth. Athens Restaurant had great chewy souvlaki. The tzaziki was a little salty and runny but still tasy.
We just had dinner at Athens. It was our first visit, and will not be our last! A family-owned and operated establishment. Very unassuming, but it is clear that it is a regular spot for the locals.

There was one Mangas sitting at the end of the bar which is situated at the front. The dining area is at the back. He gave us a smile and said hello. This is... more
I avoided this restaurant because the men that are always standing outside smoking and drinking made me think that it was more of a bar than a restaurant. One night, a friend took us there. I've now been back 5 or 6 times, and it has been consistently excellent. The lamb chops and souvlaki are superb. I particularly like the... more
Best lamb chops in the city! Great food. Real authentic Greek food! We will definitely recommend this restaurant to our family and friends.
The food was unbelievable from the appetizers to the main courses. True authentic Greek food. By far, one of the best Greek restaurants we've eaten at. Try the lamb chops and shrimps.
