    Never been to Olympia Restaurant on Denman before but it's an old school Greek spot. They've been around for over 30 years. There's a second location out in Kitsilano. We dropped in on a Saturday (12:15pm) and grabbed seats in their outdoor covered area. Excellent for people watching. The regular menu is large but the lunch menu (12:00pm to 2:30pm) has better deals ($14.00 to $20.00 entrees). All their entrees come with rice, roast potatoes, Greek salad and tzatziki. - Pita - they asked us whether we wanted pitas (uh, yes). Decent. - Roast lamb ($20.00) - good amount of lamb, didn't see much fat. Not much taste to the salad. Potato had a nice bite. - Moussaka ($18.00) - basically, a Greek shepherd's pie. - Beef souvlaki ($18.00) - one skewer of beef. Not bad but fairly standard. - Greek pizza ($22.00 medium) - slightly thicker crust. Liked how it wasn't greasy. Wished the onions were cooked down more. No frills, classic Greek eats at Olympia. 3.5 stars.

    This Greek restaurant is located at Denman and Nelson in downtown. It is still in the popular area that attracts tourists or local people to come in and enjoy the Greek food. We came here for lunch as we saw an a-board outside the restaurant that listed $12.45 for lunch specials. Their lunch menu had a wide variety of items and most of the dishes were at a great price. We ordered two dishes from the lunch menu - roast lamb and moussaka. What a great deal! The portion was quite big and the quality was good! Even the pita bread was very fresh baked from the oven. The roast lamb was very tender and tasty. Moussaka was quite big with a lot of beef in the middle. Very delicious! The server here was very friendly and polite. We ordered two cups of hot water with lemon. When she delivered the hot water to our table, she mentioned that the water was boiling hot from the pot, so she asked us to be careful when we drank it. She was very caring about customers. Interior design was a bit old inside the restaurant but the style and ambience along with the Greek music made it more authentic. We love this restaurant and would like to come back and try other dishes.

    Solid Greek place in the Denman area. Glad they survived that Olympic lawsuit. Parking is available on the side streets. The restaurant has been around for ages, so the interior is definitely a bit dated. Stereotypical blue and white (Greek flag) theme, and of course that landscape-themed wallpaper. Lots of character though. Staff were friendly. Special mention for their roast lamb. It really doesn't get much better than this. Nothing like gorging on a chunk of one of these little guys. Generous portions, and the meat is oh so tender. Very reasonable pricing too. Served with the usual pile fo rice, chunk of roast potato, and salad. My friends and I left stuffed. Recommended.

    I have always had the idea that Greek restaurants make the BEST pizza. So true here! It's the best pizza in Vancouver.

    3 stars for the staff, 0 for the food. It was bland and boring and the only plus side is I didn't die after eating it.

    My wife and I had a pretty good time here. The food was good, especially the Roasted Brussel…read moreSprouts! We loved it so much that we have since been making it at home several times since. Pizza was good but didn't meet the Brussel Sprouts bar. Service though was quite disappointing. We weren't getting the attention of the hostess for several tens of minutes each time we needed something. We waited long enough to get the attention of someone to get some red chilli flakes for the Pizza and finally we just ended up eating the Pizza without the chilli flakes since no one came to check on us for over 20 minutes. The place has a dim light setting for a nice romantic evening dinner date with your partner. Go here for the starters and for a inviting vibe.

The vibe is stylish without feeling pretentious, making it a perfect date night spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we sat down. The espresso martinis were fantastic, the Caesar salad was huge and easily shareable, and the pasta was absolutely outstanding. From the atmosphere to the food and service, everything just clicked. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Vancouver.

    Woefully sub-average. It is best I can describe this place…read more Entered the place on a Monday afternoon whilst three East Indian men chillaxing in the dining area. They quickly jumped at my presence and returned to their stations as if they're caught slacking off. First idea was to order a deep dish but a few moments later upon entry I decided otherwise. I opted for 2 slices and a pop. Meatloaf and cheese. The sever didn't bother to warm them. They were dry and like old pizzas. Taste is okay/sub/average considering the price but very unlikely I will return.

    Ordered two pizzas from here on Uber Eats…read more My friend and I wanted to check out the local deep dish scene, and this seemed to be one of the few places that offered it, so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have very high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizzas here. They offer a variety of veggie and meat pizzas that can be made with regular crust or deep dish style. We ordered a small deep dish margharita ($19.99) and a medium deep dish butter chicken ($23.99) pizza. Both weren't true deep dish pizzas, but the crust was nice and thick. I'd recommend the pizzas here to anyone who likes a breadier crust. My only minor complaint is that the pizzas didn't have enough sauce to complement the thick crust. The pizzas kept well for leftovers too. They tasted just as good the next day heated up in our toaster oven.
