Lamb is on my mind...Over to Gorgona

This is only one of two lower mainland "greek" restaurants that gets my referrals, business and my appreciation of their offers. I can count on them for great lamb dishes and a wonderful dessert. The environment, whether sunny or not, is very cheerful and open. They have a inexpensive small wine list. Sit in the gazebo for wonderful summer night... more

Excellent food

Nice romantic restaurant. Excellent Greek food. Great value for money. Great service.
Try the TZATZIKI, the TARAMOSALATA, the BEEF SOUVLAKI and the MOUSSAKA.
Excellent food!

Delicious moussaka

$17.95 for probably the best moussaka I have ever tasted, even when in in Greece. served with delicious rice and a host of other items.
Did not have an appetiser, and had no room left for a desert.
5 of sat down and all declared their choices were outstanding.
One of our party was celebrating a birthday and when this... more

Best Greek food in town

I've been here countless times with my family and each visit has been great! The patio is beautifully decorated with flowers, and the inside has a cozy feel with Greek music playing. The food is amazing and I personally recommend the lamb as they are famous for it here, but there are also other great appetisers and pasta dishes to... more

Quaint and charming

This is our go-to restaurant for delicious Greek food in Delta. The summer patio is romantic with loads of flower baskets and twinkling lights. Great service, generous portions,. Food is consistently great. Been at least 10 times now.

Best Greek Restaurant

We love this restaurant, the food is amazing and the ambience very relaxing and beautifully decorated. We always receive top notch service from all the staff and the owner makes sure everything is to our liking.
Definitely a great place to hold a family celebration, as well as a cozy couples night out!
We'll be back soon.

A Taste of Greece

Really good Greek dishes, lovely outdoor space for the Summer months. Friendly staff and nice ambience- very busy on weekends

A Little Piece Of Greece

I dined here this evening with my family and was blown away with the food. I've never had such a great meal at any Greek restaurant in my life. This food tasted better than any restaurants I dined at on my recent trip to Santorini. The owner has done a fantastic job altering the menu and adding favourites like the... more

Good food, terrible customer care

My co-workers and I frequently order take-out from Taverna Gorgona during our work-week together because, although more expensive than average, the food has been consistently good. After our experience this week, we will not be ordering from them any longer.
A few weeks back, we had placed a dinner order with them for pick-up. As per usual, I requested extra... more

Just not like it used to be

Every summer we come back I try and like this restaurant. The food is mediocre,at best, but it's the service that has gone downhill very fast and on a consistent basis. I also don't like the paper napkins, I this k we pay enough for cloth napkins. We ordered a bottle of wine, this came to the table unopened, yes... more

Tough to review

Normally this isn't the type of place I would bother reviewing but a recent outing compelled me to change my mind. We were there a couple nights ago for a family night out. We've eaten here in the past and normally had pretty decent experiences. The room is warm and comfy, if a bit trashy in that Greek restaurant kind... more

Fabulous

We dine there fairly regularly and it's all good. The roast lamb is amazing and 100 times better than the Greek restaurant down the road. Service us great very personable. Never had a bad meal there. Food us very consistent. Love it

Good food

I always love good Greek food and this is the place to go for that fix. Service is excellent. I would recommend it to everyone.

A Little Greek Summer Paradise

Plates are always delicious and copious! I love it most when the patio is open, the fountain is splashing happily, and there's a lushness because of the well-tended greenery. And then there are the evenings when the lamb is roasting... the gods would be proud!

Great place to bring the whole family

Mostly used during the day by business men and women, the nights become very popular for couples and family's. It has average pricing with high end food quality. Do enjoy.

Always good food

Been coming here for a long time and have always enjoyed the food and ambience. Large portions and a lot of variety. We have been very happy to share meals there with family and frequently with friends & guests. Souvlaki is excellent and even their fish dishes can be very good.

best roast lamb

The food at Taverna Gorgona is fantastic. The calamari is excellent & the roast lamb is as good as it gets. Great staff & always a fun time to be had.

Returning this weekend

I have enjoyed the restaurant on several occasions. They occasionally have live music, which is a definite plus. Friendly service and the food is consistently good. Going back this week-end... more

Average Canadian Greek Style Restaurant

We've been here a few times and it hasn't improved over the years. The food is mediocre at best, usually overcooked and under spiced for Greek food. The Greek salad was hours old, dry, no dressing, and limp. Service is adequate, the girls are rushed but get the job done. There's no background music or Greek authenticity, feels like your... more

Great Greek Food

Taverna Gorgona has a great Greek atmosphere and typical, but very good Greek dishes. They have the usual variety of entrees and appetizers and their prices are reasonable. The soulvakis are very good, but I have had better roast lamb. The Greek salad is generous and the service is good. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely go back!

A!mazing service and food

Today myself and three other colleagues shared a most amazing experience during what for many restaurants is the busiest time of the year.I tend to notice the small things as I have been in the hospitality business for most of my life. The linen was fresh,the cutlery and tableware polished and spotless. We were attended to by Carla who was... more

Food court at the mall was better

Have been here a couple of times this year with friends who live in the area and each time, the food & service has been nothing more than average at best. The Slovakia was over cooked & tzatsiki was very thin and not enough cucumber or garlic to flavor it. The moussaka was over cooked and tasteless. The little bit... more

too compact of a place

We have not eaten at this place for some time only because it's quite small and you don't have a lot of privacy.
If that does not bother you, the food is pretty good, the quantity is OK but the prices are on the expensive side.

Yum

Always ...always ..always.. Order the chicken with prawns coated in a lovely garlic cream sauce. I love this dish so much that I have attempted many times to recreate it at home.. Also always delicious, yet very time consuming and messy to make...so just go to the restaurant and have them make it for you...lovely

Excellent food though

The service quality has deteriorated over the years but the food is just as good. Don't go outside on the patio - it is cold there even on the best of days. I also ordered takeout there for a large group once but the food quality was not as good.

Taverna Gorgona is the Tops in Greek cuisine

This long-established Greek restaurant in the heart of Ladner Village deserves its large clientele of one-time-become-regular diners. Eating indoors or out, Greek decor and music set the tone for the great presentation of exquisite Mediterranean food and wine, with courteous and informed wait staff. From time to time belly dancing is on the menu - a truly moving extra!

Pretty good food, but had hair in our meal

We had gone here a few years ago and had a very special and memorable meal. We happened to be back in the area and thought we would try this again because it was excellent.
Last time we were there we had tried some sort of family platter and this time we ordered something similar called the gargona platter. The... more

Favourite Restaurant

Taverna Gorgona is definitely our favourite restaurant to dine at! Set in the heart of the quaint Ladner Village, it is owned and operated by a wonderful man from...Greece!! The delicious, authentic Greek meals are prepared with great care and attention to detail. The food is outstanding, portions are generous and the service is fabulous. You can choose to dine... more

Good value

Nice gem in the heart of town. Good menu choices & large portions. Reservations recommended for Friday & Saturday nights.

A++ restaurant

This casual restaurant punches way above its weight class and far exceeds any other Greek restaurant I have tried anywhere else in North America, with impeccable service, romantic ambience, and delicious food. This is a true gem and deserves far more attention. Our server was very friendly and provided excellent service, frequently coming over to check on us, refill water,... more

Great service, nice ambience and fantastic meal

We had a very friendly and accommodating waitress and all of our food was delish. I had the moussaka dinner....so good and such a big serving for just $14.95. My friends all really enjoyed a seafood pasta dish, a big platter of applies and "smsll"greek salads that came in large bowls, too.
The only slight disappointment was that the patio... more

Always enjoy ourselves here

We eat here quite often. Service always friendly. Good variety on menu for everyone. Prices quite reasonable. Quite large space but still feels homey. Fun Greek decor. Good Greek food.

Ladner dining

Great staff, great food, great environment...and yes, very good value. I have been back and will go back again.

Great little restaurant

Quality restaurant in Ladner. Our party of eight was greeted warmly and given friendly promt service. The place was busy which gave it a lively feel. Food seemed quite typical of a Greek joint which I find gets a little boring sometimes but overall the quality was great. Will be back!

Expectations exceeded

A number of friends and co-woorkers recommended this restaurant to me. It was a bit of a hike from North Vancouver but well worth it. We met up with our friends for dinner. We were warmly greeted and escorted to our table as we had made a reservation. The decor is simple, clean and feels very authentic. Apparently when it... more

First time here

My friend and I went for lunch. It was pretty busy, and only one server. She was racing around.
The decor was very nice, although my chair had food stuck to the seat cover. Not so appealing.
I ordered the prawn and scallop souvlaki kabob, and it came with the usual fixings, rice, greek salad, potato, and pita bread with... more

regular visitor

Food continues to get better with each visit. Party of seven last visit, no complaints from anybody, more than enough food.
will continue to go back

Nice Greek resaurant

The restaurant has a nice cozy feel about it. The staff was friendly and service was good. The was a group of 8 of us and everyone really enjoyed their dinner. We would not hesitate to go back there.

Amazing

Went there with my partner last week for a meal. The food was fantastic! Best calamari I have had and the baby BBQ ribs were just delicious. The decor is lovely and romantic set in the cute village of Ladner and the servie we received was great. Already planning my next trip there.

Be sure to make reservations

We always enjoy ourselves at Taverna Gorgona whether we go in for lunch or dinner. Please make sure to make reservations for dinner as you don't want to have that Greek Craving and be turned away, as the weekends are always jam packed. Our fave is the Greek Platter for 2 which will give you a sample of many of... more

Yummy food and a wonderful atmosphere

We attended this restaurant for a 30th birthday with a party of about 15 people which they happily accommodated with reservations. Appies cam eout quite quickly, drink and dinner were a bit slower than we had hopes. The serves were great; very friendly and polite.
The Sangria was very delicious, it's only detriment was that I wish there had been... more

Good Food

We have never been disappointed with the food or service. Some people have commented that with the change in ownership the quality has declined but not true in our experience. Staff are very friendly and manage to keep up even when the place is busy.

awesome

great service and amazing yummy food. Best value for the $, great for famillies, dates, any occasion.

Greek Goodness

This place is an oasis as soon as you walk in. Located in the heart of Ladner it is a quaint little restaurant. The food is AMAZING!!! All of it.

Disappointing

I had dinner there about a month ago. We ordered a Greek platter for two. We started with a calamari appetizer which was very salty. The platter had lamb chop so salty that you couldn't even taste the lamb. I told our server that it was REALLY salty and she said that Greek food is salty. I'm not new to... more

Good Greek food

Good Greek food, nice outside patio with waterfall and plants. generous portions. Reservations recommended on nice weekend summer evenings.

family favourite

This is our favourite restaurant for family gatherings. Beautiful patio, great food and wine and super-friendly service. The atmosphere can be quite lively! There's always a bit of a buzz, with couples, families and groups alike enjoying the upbeat energy and the food. The appetizers are very good; the saganaki is amazing (our family never misses the chance to start... more

What a gem

We came across this gem on a busy Saturday night, which can be a real test of a place. And although the place was packed and the servers working flat out, they all pitched into help each other and make us feel we had their entire attention whenever we needed them. The restaurant has a fabulous ambience, with lots of... more

Hidden Jewel in Ladner

There is hidden jewel in Ladner called, Taverna Gorgona. The friendly servers are just amazing. They seem to know many customers by name and exchange friendly chat while clearing and setting tables. The flow of satisfied customers comming and going is as smooth as honey. The seafood entrees and west coast Halibut are melt in your mouth good. The spices... more

Delicious

Three couples met for a pre-Christmas get together. Four of us had the special, halibut and prawns. All meals were excellent, as other reviewers have said. Large portions, good service and reasonable prices. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would go back.

Food is salty, staff was blah, but the desserts were outstanding.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Nestled in the corner of a mall. Good Greek food. Specials on certain days. Mediterrean decor. reservations usually not needed.Open for lunch and supper.
