Here are the best Greek restaurants in Toronto.

5 - Messini

<p>Greektown’s gyro king is known citywide for their superbly affordable gyros. These massive pitas are what latenight snack dreams are made of: stuffed with garlicky housemade tzatziki sauce and meat shaved straight from the spit.</p>
3 - Mamakas

<p>Ossington’s stylish taverna is the strip’s go-to for seafood and a glass of white from their all-Greek wine list. Head here for your after-work rendezvous for whole grilled Mediterranean sea bass and grilled lamb chops.</p>
6 - Square Boy

<p>You simply can’t beat the prices at this iconic joint on the Danforth. Square Boy’s gyros, souvlaki and BBQ chickens somehow taste even better while eaten in a retro diner booth. While admittedly not Greek, the banquet burgers are on legendary status.</p>
7 - Fat Lamb Kouzina

<p>It’s easy to walk right by this subtle takeout counter near Yonge and Bloor, but you’d be remiss not to make a stop for their slow-roasted meats falling right off the bone. Lamb is an obvious attraction. So is their herb pork gyro served on ridiculously soft pita.</p>
8 - Koukla

<p>The folks behind Mamakas also run this meze bar right across the street. Conversation-starter shareables include feta fried in phyllo and dakos toast. Come during happy hour for half-off wine and oysters from the raw bar.</p>
9 - Volos

<p>Breezy white archways and outstanding service make this Financial District one of the fanciest options for Greek. Moussaka with organic ground beef and grilled chicken breast, organic, with tzatziki come straight from this upscale menu.</p>
11 - The Greek Grill

<p>Pape Village’s longtime plaza joint has been serving casual sit-down dinner since 2007, when they first opened on the Danforth. Expect all the usual Greek favourites, from calamari straight off the grill and gyros to their famous layered mousaka.</p>
10 - Myth

<p>The newest arrival on this list is this swanky King West restaurant with impressive interior decor that’ll make you feel like you’re in some coastal lounge. A platter of dips, plates of crudo and grass-fed Australian lamb chops are on the menu alongside a list of Greek wines.</p>
4 - Mezes

<p>As its name implies, expect a bounty of tasty house dips and piping hot pita bread at this cozy Greektown spot. Come for the friendly family atmosphere and stay for their juicy souvlaki and saganaki show.</p>
