I've been to Christinas a few times over the years, but my recent visit was the best one by far. Maybe it's because it was early Sunday lunch before the crowds arrived, but the food tasted way better than it had ever did and the service was impeccable. We got:
- Saganaki: Ooey gooey fired cheesiness like saganaki should be.
- Grilled Calamari meal: Calamari was perfectly cooked (glistening, smooth, not rubbery) and had a salty-tasty flavour. The rice had a perfect texture, almost 'al dente' to match the tenderness of the calamari. The veggie portions were generous.
- Mussels: Portion size was good though the mussels themselves were small. Would have liked them a bit jigger and more plump. Great base sauce though (tasted rich like butter without having any butter).
Prices were a bit high, but think that's how prices are everywhere these days. As mentioned earlier, service was great: helpful with advice, friendly in demeanor, efficient in speed. I now get why this place is a go-to for many when it comes to Greek spots on the Danforth. read more
