Soula's

What is Soula's? Holding court at 500a Danforth Avenue since 1978, Soula's Modern Greek Cuisine is a Danforth institution founded by Christos and Soula and maintained with strong neighbourhood pride. The bi-level dining room features an intimate mezzanine loft overlooking the main floor, paired with a heated, enclosed year-round patio. It strikes a relaxed balance between family-run hospitality and contemporary taverna style.

Soula's Menu & What to Order The kitchen works closely with local Greektown purveyors like Mister Greek Meat Market down the strip to source fresh Ontario cuts. Top picks include the tender Aioli Lamb Souvlaki, crisp floured calamari, sizzling ouzo-flambéed saganaki, and the Paidakia Skaras (char-grilled Ontario lamb chops with lemon and oregano). Vegetarians can lean into the vegetable moussaka or feta-baked mezedes, all best washed down with a glass of Greek white wine or a Mykonos Mule.

Know Before You Go Tables fill up quickly on Friday and Saturday evenings when live Greek music brings out vibrant multi-generational family crowds, so booking ahead by phone or online is strongly recommended. The restaurant is situated a short stroll from Chester subway station, with Green P street and lot parking nearby. Lunch service starts daily at 12:00 p.m., with dinner running until 10:00 p.m. on weeknights and 11:00 p.m. on weekends.
