Ithaka Greek Restaurant is my favorite place for dinner in Victoria. They have consistently wonderful food, great service and a building with Old World charm. Their skewers are delicious, but it is the details like flaming Saganaki and Spanakopita that make it memorable.

This was our second time here, and we absolutely loved it (again). Delicious fresh food. The chicken souvlaki is always a winner. I had the halibut special and it was divine. Lemon chicken soup is one of the best I've ever had. Wish I could...get the recipe! The service A++, so friendly and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere and ambiance. We will make this a must-eat-here place every time we come to Victoria from now on.More

Found Ithaka online and read the reviews. As we love Greek we have it a try, the staff were welcoming and the food great. If we were staying longer we would return. Would recommend

We were terribly disappointed in our experience. The lamb and beef in the pita wrap were like cardboard and the sauce was tasteless. The greek salad had small slices instead of chunks of tomato, onion and cucumber. My husband's lamb shank was tasteless and cold....Not a good dining experience.More

One of the finest dining experiences we have ever had in decades of international travel. The food was amazing, especially the lamb souvlaki and moussaka; the love and care in cooking all meals were obvious. Really enjoyed the choice of quality Greek beer and wine,...too. Service was impeccable; swift and highly attentive but never intrusive. We loved the enthusiasm the staff had for working there and their expressed affection for the family owned business. A "must experience" when visiting Victoria.More

We have eaten a few times at the first restaurant the family owned in Kenora Ontario and really enjoyed it so when my sister from Kenora told us about the restaurant in Victoria we decided to try it. My husband had ribs and thought they...were heavenly! I wasn’t that hungry so I just had the lemon chicken soup and a small Greek salad. This is the best Greek lemon chicken soup I’ve ever had! Better than my homemade ! The salad was very good too. They didn’t skimp on the feta cheese which some places do. All in all, I would strongly recommend and wish it was closer to my home in Manitoba so I could go again!😂More

Couldn’t be closer to our hotel, the Chateau Victoria. Lovely food in a huge restaurant which looks tiny from the front! Good range of food and drinks, well served and piping hot. Chicken and lemon soup delicious.

Dimitri, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful responses to reviews on TA. I know how challenging restaurant work is and the public can be difficult to please. I wish people had the focus on enjoyment of food, time together and beautiful decor...and as you say, if your not happy about something, tell someone . Pretty sure giving shots of ouzo against liquor laws. Give me a break! Opa to you and your team. I've met yourwife and she is a beautiful person, you sound like a goodguy as well!

This location has been a Greek restaurant for years but changed hands. It still provides tasty food but service was inconsistent and it is no longer open for lunch.
