Useful Information
Meet the owner
When it comes to traditional Greek food and fun times, the Anast family's Yiannis Taverna has been Edmonton's go-to place since the late 80s. Current owner and cook, Jim Anast, still uses those same recipes his mother brought over from the home country, decades ago. “That’s one thing about Greek people; they keep using the same recipes,” says Jim’s wife, Tammy. “When somebody gives you a Greek cookbook, it could be 100 years old. It’s like a treasure. It’s also opposite from North American food culture, where the food is really trendy. In Greece, they learned a long time ago how to make the best use of the ingredients.”
Greek restaurants attract a clientele who love to enjoy themselves and their meals, and diners can definitely do both at Yiannis Taverna. “Most of the people who come to Greek restaurants are generally interested in the food because it’s not food you can buy in a grocery store,” says Tammy. “Proper Greek food is very labour intensive and has to be made by hand.”

I've been a fan of Yianni's since 1999. Such a treat to be able to go back again after covid-19 Phase 1 lockdown. Their open air setting helps me feel safe, as does the fact that all staff are wearing face masks. Hygiene was excellent. The food was, as always, delicious.

This was a great night with friends and family made better by being in a warm and friendly place most of us know from many other visits – and now added to by the food and sharing we had this night. Roy

This turned into a surprisingly pleasant evening - made all the better with their big open doors on to Whyte Avenue in Old Strathcona. The steak and Mediterranean salad were just what was needed, although from other visits I also recommend the slow-roast lamb.

Yianni's is the best for Greek food and authenticity! Our server (Marchin? - I hope I spelled that correctly!) was amazing. He made the whole experience very enjoyable. I will definitely be back!

Tammy was wonderful as usual! We were provided service by a lovely young woman whose smile reached her eyes, which was handy because her actual smile was under her mask. I took a friend who is new to Edmonton here, and the ambiance was beautiful. He ordered the lamb and literally just about licked his bowl clean!

We had a very good meal during our visit to Yiannis highlighted by tasty food and attentive, but not overbearing service. It was a little noisy due to the large open windows facing the busy street.

Perfect. We sat inside but at the edge of the sidewalk patio that allowed us to enjoy the sun but move to shade so we didn’t get too hot.

Greek restaurants in Edmonton worthy of an Opa!
This romantic restaurant on Whyte Avenue has plenty of cozy tables for date night and the basement, home to a martini bar called Kasbar, is an awesome place to host a birthday party or a large group. The food is delectable (especially the horiatiki salad) and reasonably priced. It’s also a good place to spot local celebs – I was once seated at the table next to my childhood hero. He seemed to be enjoying his meal too.
