10-minute walk from hotel with unassuming appearance but quaint interior. The calamari dinner was excellent. On a 2nd visit I had a lamb gyro, but the meat was stringy(should have ordered the roast lamb dinner, I think). The Avgolemono soup with egg & lemon is excellent, as are the Greek salads. Service was exceptional.
Excellent food and the friendliest of service. Have never been disappointed in all my times in the restaurant. Parking is a bit of an issue.
We had a reservation or we likely would not have got in. Our waitress welcomed us and described the menu items for us. Everyone ordered something different and the servings were very tasty and quite large. My roast lamb was very tender and everyone else enjoyed their meal immensely.
This small restaurant has a great, warm atmosphere. The menu and flavours are authentic; lamb and chicken dishes particularly delicious. Meats are always moist. Service is friendly and prompt and even on take out orders, dinners come hot and quickly. Kids are welcome, but also a romantic atmosphere for dates. Have eaten here for 20 years, ALWAYS consistent!
Established decades ago to serve the many Greek Sailors off the ships, this restaurant has evolved into one of the go-to places for lovers of Greek food. It has a genuine Greek ambiance with friendly, professional staff who are happy to make recommendations from an excellent menu. The quality of the food is very good as are some of the... more
My husband and I went to Kypriaki Taverna for dinner on Valentines day. The place was crowded, and the food was fantastic. We both decided, for a change, we would order the seafood which consisted of Halibut, Scallops and Prawns, along with roast potatoes, rice, and greek salad. The fish was cooked to perfection. We had saganaki as an appetizer,... more
We went in for a late lunch on a weekday and ended up being the only ones in the restaurant, which worried us. Totally unfounded, the food was AMAZING- every dish we had. Very traditional Greek dishes for my wife and I and some kid friendly chicken for my daughter. The service was friendly and fast. The place itself is... more
went with my bf, we both got roast lamb as it was raved in the reviews. . no lie... the best roast lamb Ever!!
and cost us only 14 dollars per person!! so we tipped really well. the chef's name is Andrea. my bf asked to give them 5 stars ... I agree!!
Normally get the souvlaki, which is always excellent and affordable, but this time I decided to go for the roast lamb. Can't believe how good it was! Tender and juicy still even though it was a delivery. Will order this one again.
Very friendly staff, in a cozy restaurant, with great food and great wine. If not enough, prices are more than fair. What else can you ask for?
This is authentic Greek food which tastes great. The portions were too large for us but this is our only negative. Parking is out back, service is good as are the prices. We just wish we could have spent more time in Vancouver so we could go back here again.
I have no complaints with the food so I would say do take out cause the service needs work. We went for dinner on a Saturday about 6 pm only a few tables so we got seated fast ordered a drink and our food! People started pouring in tables full we got out food and well that's all we enjoyed! No one came back to our table once! One server walked around from one end to the other finally we stopped... more
Loved the Lamb, Gyro, and Avgolemono soup was so good. Service very friendly, kind atmosphere and candle light. It was a special night for us and just what we needed. The prices were very fair.
Enjoyed every single order from calamari to different souvlakis (prawns&scallops-beef-lamb-chicken...), the sangria was very refreshing, attentive and friendly service, nice atmosphere, great prices....what else can you ask for?
Very nice taverna atmosphere, authentic Greek food, attentive and friendly wait staff. One order of lamb souvlaki, and one of scallop and prawns were both very impressive. A very satisfying experience!
Enjoyed a fantastic meal at this gem of a restaurant. My husband had a delicious roast lamb, my daughter loved her gyro and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken souvlaki. My younger children enjoyed the chicken burger and chicken strips. The lemon potatoes were amazing and the Sangria was fantastic! All of this was reasonably priced and served with a smile!
When I lived in North Vancouver I would get delivery from this place all the time. I Love Greek food and this place was fabulous. The deliveries were always on time and relatively friendly. The food was always delicious and hot when I got it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good Greek food on the North... more
We were staying over night before leaving on an Alaskan Cruise, looking for a place to eat after our long air flight from east coast. We walked 2 blocks from our hotel and peaked in the door of a building that looked like a bar! Inside it was filled with people, warm inviting atmosphere and a wonderfully friendly wait staff.... more
Charming restaurant near the Lions Gate Bridge in North Van. Romantic -yes, Intoxicating aromas-yes, Awesome food - yes, Good servers - yes. Did I say CHARM!!!
Try the chicken livers or the fried cheese as an appy, really. You won't believe how good they were, and the lamb kabobs? Wow!
All the food was so well prepared! Friendly servers, cute little place. Parking was a bit tight in the back, but at least there was free parking, we got there early... probably a good idea.
I go here frequently and each time the food is consistently amazing from the decadent prawn dishes like the tasty tiger prawns and prawns uventski to the lamb chops this place is fantastic. they give you huge portions and fantastic friendly service. the ambience is so cute and warm and cozy.
The prices are a little expensive for greek food...

Try the lamb! I tasted my husbands roast lamb that he ordered and it was delious. I ordered the prawns and they were good too. The menu has great selection, the staff are friendly and aren't in your face which is nice when u r trying to enjoy a more personal romantic dinner. If u like Greek food make sure... more
Ordered delivery for me and the woman. We got 1 order Roast Lamb, chicken liver app and calamari app. Roast lamb came with rice,Greek salad, potato, and two pita tzatziki
This is a rather small, intimate restaurant on Marine Drive. The service is decent and food quality is good. We like their vegetarian selection, but be careful about the rice (could be cooked in chicken stock).
We loved the greek food served here. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and is nicely decorated. Every 6th customer won a free dinner and we were the lucky ones.
We went on a Monday night and the place was not busy at all, so the service was great. I had the moussaka which was good, but I didn't like the bechamel sauce, so I just ate around it. The servings are huge and the lemon roasted potatoes and greek salad are good. I would go back. They are also open 7 nights a week, which is nice, and I like the atmosphere of the place.
From the outside one would not think that this is a restaurant.But on entering it is a delightful little homely place.Specialise in Greek food .Nothing like the half of roast chicken Greek style.
very cool atmosphere with great greek food ! you can have a really good time here
I've been a guest at Kypriaki's for years. While not a large restaurant, and reservations are recommended if there's more than 2 of you, the atmosphere is terrific & the food is outstanding! I'll definitely be back!
Very good. The cosy and on theme interior belies the exterior of the building, have faith... The food seemed authentic, was very tasty (how do they make the humble potato taste so damn good?) and reasonably priced; the service attentive. I am actually looking forward to returning to try other menu items.

Lamb for four dinner is Killer. It's delicious and the portion is enormous! It'll fill up two big guys and their dates without difficulty. If you have a chance, get their calamari! It's honestly the best I've ever had, but so was the spanakopita. Dolmades are solid, but not outstanding.
honestly, from the reviews i was expecting more. the servicewas fantastic but the food left much to be desired. i had the chicken souvlaki, overcooked and underseasoned. my bf had the lamb which was really well cooked but lacked flavor. he actually had to salt it which he never does. for the price the portions were right. rice was good, lots of potato, could have used more than 2 slivers of... more
We are frequent guests, the food is always excellent, and the service good.
My favorite Greek restaurant! Love love love their moussaka! It really is the best I've ever had-especially on the days when it's baked a little extra so it's kinda caramelized. Everything else is good here too- I love the roast lamb and greek potatoes! The hostesses are nice and the dining room is quaint and cosy. Parking can be tricky and you will need a reservation at busy times for dinner... more
Since moving to Vancouver last fall, we've had trouble finding a nice, reasonably-priced place with good food and portions, and now we've definitely found it! Our reservation was on a Saturday night around 8:30, and we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. There were only a few other diners when we arrived, but it got busier later. Even so, the service throughout our meal was attentive, but... more
Being the only place we could find in north van that delivers, we decided kypriaki taverna was worth a try. Unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. Nothing was awful, but nothing was that good either and the moussaka tasted kind of soapy. We like to judge a Greek place by the quality of their hummus and here kipriyaki was a let down - watery and flavorless. Needless to say I dont think we... more
Stopped in without reservation around 7 PM and although they were busy we did not have to wait long. Food was very good and healthy portions. A few drinks, appetizers, main course and desert for $80.00 for 2.
Cute little spot with great greek food! You wont get the same prices as Stephos on Davie, but if youre looking for some yummy greek food in North Van this is great! Paid about $60 for three drinks total and two meals. The prawn and lamb souvlaki is amazing! Romantic setting... Will be back!
We drove past Kypriaki Taverna, and having tried it a couple of times before, decided to stop in to placate the... more
Based on the reviews I decided to try this restaurant. It did not live up to the reviews. There were 5 of us and the waitress forgot two of our drinks, the strawberry margaritas were a sorry excuse for a drink, my Roasted lamb was cold, my wife's Sovilaki was flavorless, and the crème caramel was burned. As well our dishes came in two groups 5 minutes apart. The menu said we would have pita... more
Godd food. Good price. Dined there once and another time took it with me. Friendly service. Offered something to drink while I waited.
Friendly, efficient service. Good atmosphere. We loved the food. A very enjoyable and authentic dining experience.
Excellent food, quick and friendly service. Ordered the Sunday family Kyptiaki platter. Was definitely worth it's value. Definitely will be back.
Actually, I stopped in the other day as well, and it was fantastic. Kypriaki's is now open for lunch, with lots of inexpensive lunch menu items like gyros and lamb burgers. Loved it!
It is simply lovely. The service was one of the best I had so far in Vancouver! The meat was perfectly cooked aka medium and the saganaki is delicious! I'll come back!
I totally recommend Dave's Kypriaki Taverna when on the Northshore, as a matter of fact even when you're not on the Northshore! It's a fantastic place to go for dinner, I wish it was still open for lunch but for dinner is good enough! Their Greek soup is out of this world! We ordered it and ordered another bowl cause the kids ate all ours! We recently went to another Greek restaurant and... more
The food was great you have got to try the mushroom appy it was to die for!!!!
I have tried most of the Greek restaurants in the lower mainland and I have to say this is one of the best.From the quality of the food and friendly service to the candlelit tables and cozy atmosphere.My advice to you is simple " Go " and you'll find out what I am talking about.
Excellent Greek Food. Large portions. Our personal favorite is the Vegetarian platter - moussaka, spanakopita, dolmades, greek salad, rice and hummus and tzatziki and pita bread. More than enough food for the two of us for around $30.
food is good, but i feel cramped when i'm there
Not that well known, AMAZING food, roast lamb is amazing, delivery available.
A little pricey but well worth it.
