WHO ARE WE?
We’re the second generation of two Greek families that came to Canada to open some of Vancouver’s longest running restaurants.

Now, we’re taking everything we’ve learned from them to offer a brand new dining experience.

WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?
Loula’s is the Greek nostalgia of our upbringing infused with modern dining trends that have intrigued us. The atmosphere and cuisine are an homage to our namesake, a woman dear to our hearts who always leaves you in good spirits with a full stomach. Expect that overwhelmingly authentic Greek experience when you step through our doors—along with a few other things you won’t expect. You’ll just have to trust us.

WHERE ARE WE?
We’re located in the heart of Commercial drive, a spot we feel quite at home in. If you know anything about The Drive, you know it’s warm, vivacious and a little kooky.

Just like Loula.

                                            Unfortunately, the food was overly salted and not good. The service, however, especially from our server and the host was lovely.

                                            What an amazing experience at Loula’s for my best friend’s birthday! We had a big group of 10 and our experience was excellent from before we even sat down. The wonderful Sierra worked some magic to fit our big table in and then the incredible Paige took phenomenal care of us all night! The food and drinks were top notch – I already can’t wait to go back. Thank you Loula’s!

                                            Had the impression that this restaurant was going to be super rowdy but it was actually a really lovely place to come for a romantic date. Loved this setting. The food was wonderful and very big portions. I enjoyed the decor and the lively music. Overall, a really great experience on a Thursday night.

                                            Had to ask for their Happy Hour menu. Expected their gyros to be hot but they were mildly warm. The steak in the gyro was quite tough and chewy. The gyro was not toasted either. Somewhat expensive for the amount of meat that was in the gyros.
