Calypso Greek Taverna

An old-school Greek restaurant that’s got its act together, Calypso serves all your favourites from mousaka to spanakopita. The charbroil grill selection is recommended. It starts with souvlaki and Greek ribs and also features a pork loin chop and a 10-ounce New York steak.

Pegasus Restaurant

4824 16 St SW, Calgary, AB T2T 4J5

A well-known Calgary Greek spot, Pegasus serves flavourful Greek cuisine in a fun setting. Try entrees such as orzo casserole (chicken or lamb), boneless grilled leg of lamb and the Greek-inspired lamb burger. Combination platters featuring dips with appetizers or sample-sized main-course items are great for sharing.
