282 8th St E, Owen Sound, ON N4K 1L1, Canada
We are a small family buisness in our 35th year serving this great community. Known for our homemade gyros , souvlaki , greek salads and our award winning Pizza 😊
Stopped in for a quick bite while I was in town, finally somewhere that understands and caters to my tzatziki addiction! The chicken souvlaki was awesome, will be back to try the pizza
I have been eating here for 33 years and have never been disappointed. The best Greek food around with the exception of the homeland. Friendly family atmosphere, international music playing in the background. Big supporters of local community groups. Large supporters for local charities ( fundraisers) . A local landmark.
Lunch at Europa was great! The chicken souvlaki was a 5/5 and the chap that owns the place has a clear passion not only for his restaurants quality, but his family heritage along side it. Very nice too see that kind of passion. Will definitely be back.
Wow. Just wow. The chicken souvlaki was absolutely incredible. The chicken was incredibly moist and flavourful, with the perfect amount of salt. Their homemade tzatziki complimented the sweetness of the tomatoes beautifully. All made fresh to order. Trying small, local places is one of my favourite things to do when visiting new cities, and Europa did NOT disappoint. This should be a staple of anyone visiting, or living in Owen sound. The owner was incredibly friendly, and clearly happy and passionate about what he does. You NEED to try this place. Your visit to Owen sound won't be complete without it.
Came to celebrate my birthday. Got chicken and pork platter dinners and both were so delicious! Very flavourful and tender. First Greek restaurant I visit that can make French fries and the onions on the platter are to die for. Great first time experience with great customer service. Highly recommend ❤️
We had a fantastic meal at Europa Restaurant & Pizza! The food was absolutely delicious - the gyros and pizzas were flavorful. The portions were very generous, so come hungry! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Mediterranean meal. Just a heads up, they currently only accept cash, but there's a bank conveniently located right around the corner if needed.
I went here and got the beef gyro and it was so gross I couldn't even eat it cause the meat was so gross. It was just a hamburger patty and it was burnt and the seasoning wasn't the best I swore they drowned it in sauce to cover it up.. It's sad cause I heard about going here and I went and now I'm so disappointed 😞 😔
This was seriously the absolute best Greek food I have ever had!!! Can’t describe how much I loved it. The owner and his family were working hard to serve patrons and the service was personable and warm. The atmosphere is fantastic . The owner came by for small talk. This place is a hidden gem - we are so in love. Thank you thank you thank you
Always friendly, only uses fresh and homemade products. My favorite place to eat!
Love the chicken souvlaki, Greek salad and pizza. A local gem
Family run pizza place. Thank you for dinner. The pizza sizes were larger than expected and the toppings were plentiful.
One of my favorite restaurants awesome people great food
My favourite restaurant in Owen Sound. Service is always excellent and the food is absolutely delicious! And their prices are always fair!
Great food
Been eating here almost 30yrs, love the family, atmosphere, an of course the food! First timers Id recommend the pork Slovaki an salad but if you love Greek salad it never misses enjoy
Fantastic Greek plates! We love getting the Greek plates with Souvlaki, you cant go wrong ... soooo good!!!
Large Greek Salad for our dinner! Always fresh and delicious (Maybe add this choice below in selection list Vegetarian options: Available
Great food. Great staff. The owner has hundreds on concert videos to share while you wait for your meal. Fantastic place.
Fantastic food. Delicious and great portion sizes. Staff is very hard-working and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend.
Best place for Greek food. I cant get enough of it!!!
Excellent little family-run business. The staff are all very chatty and so open for conversation with their patrons, the fact theyve been there for 35 years and didnt have to shutter during Covid speaks for itself. I walked in and once I heard the owners speaking Greek to one another I knew I was gonna be getting PROPER Greek cuisine. The chicken gyro dinner is so tasty and filling and for only not even $20 its definitely worth it
Best souvlaki in town. Served by very nice people.
Hidden gem! The owner is so kind and fun to chat with. Having previously lived in a city with so many Greek options, having this location in Owen Sound is amazing, I wished I knew about it sooner. By far the most authentic Greek food in the area nothing else comes close. The food is absolutely amazing, highly recommend the gyro!
Good, clean food made with love! Hidden greek gem Food
Absolutely love this place at first was nervous when I didn t see the original owners but was relieved when I found it there son had taken over this is by far the best place for souvlaki and gyros and has been for the 25yrs I ve been going
Yummy, also their balaclava is excellent. I believe it s made in house.
Best souvlaki in the area. Great food, friendly service.
The Best!
Humbling experience, not once but twice. No dissatisfaction at all. The food is delicious ! Ive have had the chicken Slovaki dinner & the pork. Each time it was delicious. Ive been in this city 5 years and just found it! I just love it!!!!
Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere!
Awesome food, family vibe;)
Great food. Knowledgeable staff. Restaurant could use a face-lift.
Still our goto place for flavourful fresh food after 20+ years. Simple Greek food that tastes great. The price/deliciousness ratio cannot be beat.
Thank you Achilles, you and your parents have made our family the BEST pizzas and gyros and souvlaki for over 30 years. Were lucky to have Europa! All the best!
Its a shame this only goes to five stars. Went in with my fiancee close to closing. The owner was amazing even though we were near closing time and told us the history of the restaurant while cooking our meal fresh. To say the food was absolutely amazing would be an understatement. This was beyond amazing and a huge portion for a gyro. Also tried her chicken souvlaki and it was fantastic as well. Will definitely be returning and recommending this hidden jewel.
This place is EXCELLENT! The homemade tzaziki on the beef gyro pita was awesome. And the owners are SO friendly! Please support this family-owned business - they ve been there for 35 years! (Cash only)
Great food, great people!
Good food, takes cash only so that was a bit of an inconvenience but there are banks within a 5 min walk.
Ordered the Greek chicken dinner, the chicken souvlaki, the portions were great, the chicken was very tender and juicy, in fact my toddler stole some of my chicken and we very much enjoyed the homemade pitas!! Great work guys we will be coming back again !!! Chefs kiss
Food is excellent. The owner is so passionate about the food and has an extremely positive attitude about life!
Some of the best food I have ever eaten, the owner is an absolute gem
One of Owen Sounds gems! Ive been going to Europa for decades and the quality of the food has remained excellent all that time! Its one of my regular places to eat.
We went to Europa with our family of 7 and had a delicious Greek meal prepared fresh in front of us. Excellent customer service and we would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for authentic Greek food. We dined in and it was nice to hear his families history on how their restaurant began 30+ years ago. Kid-friendliness: Our grandchildren 9, 11 and 13 thoroughly enjoyed their meals!
Very tasty food in this area
Pita with Greek salad was the best, made fresh on the spot and from the heart
Authentic and made with love great customer service!
Friendly owner. Delicious Greek dinner! Tender chicken, amazing homemade tzatziki, fries, salad and a soft pita. All seasoned and cooked to perfection.
This tiny slice of Greek food, culture, warmth and friendliness in the heart of Owen Sound cannot be beat! Achilles, the owner, gets to know everyone and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. The food is delicious (of course) and very affordable. Pork souvlaki is the best! 10/10!
Love the food, love the owners, never change.
great food, friendly owners who make you feel at home, great prices, 5 stars
First time here and had the chicken gyro delicious and fresh. I had to go back for their greek pizza and greek salad. Best food Ive had in owen sound. Nothing is frozen...its all fresh and prepared by a traditional greek family. Yumm!
Great food, tired appearance of restaurant
Amazing people making fantastic food! Visiting Owen Sound and saw the rave reviews. Well worth the stop. Chicken Souvlaki and Baklava was so delicious! Thank you! I think the only comparable souvlaki Ive had was in New York City. I will absolute stop next time in town again.
A cute little hole in the wall in a big town. Wonderful history of family owned and passed down. I wanted so much to like it but it just wasnt for me. Apparently when my husband was waiting for our order a woman was buying 20 gift certificates. This place is rated very well, give it a chance and judge for yourself.
Lots of meat on the pizza we ordered. Nice and Hot. Really well community known. Need a little spices for taste.
Amazing food! Have been going there for over 20 years. Never disappointed!
Delicious authentic Greek food, I think this is the only place serving authentic greek food in Owen sound, everything was tasty and fresh, I would call it Real Homemade food.
I had the chicken Souvlaki and it was so good. Lots of flavours and very large portions for a good price.
Used to come here in high school and was thrilled that over 20 years later it was still open. Achilles is a jovial as his mother and a pleasure to talk to. The food was exactly as I remembered and so, so good. Highly recommend.
Hands down best pizza in town.
This family run business is amazing, you can tell they put all the love into their cooking...its a must for your food bucket list
Always great food! An Owen Sound institution.
Chicken Pita is great.
Amazing food made from real ingredients. The chef is really nice. You can see your food being made right behind the counter. Awesome prices compared to other healthy food places (Freshii)
Somehow didnt go here for 20 years then went and had some of the best food in town. Wish I found it sooner
Ive been frequenting this restaurant my whole life. It is family run, fresh, and delicious.
Good reliable and simple Greek style pub food. Worth the drive from Danforth Avenue or from Cobble Beach....
Gyro and Greek fries were great. Salad was a bit disappointing. Family run with an informal setting but a great find Owen sound. Was happy to have stumbled across it!
Try a Greek pizza
Great place for take-away diner
Fresh salad. Open kitchen too much smoke. Food is good.
So amazing. Can t wait to come back. Everything was so fresh the people were so warm and welcoming
Very tasty, the best souvlaki on a pita !
Fantastic food and fantastic service! Highly recommend!
Wish I could leave another review. Thats got to be the best gyro in Canada. Thanks again! Best gyro Ive ever had. And owner Achilles keeps the family restaurant super authentic, his family is a gem for the community AND they make a great dish. Cant go wrong with good people and tasty food
Food cooked with love. Finger-licking delicious, fresh ingredients, cooked right in front of you. Can t be beat.
Awesome food, great people!
best place for soulvaki in Ontario, must try
Best pizza in Owen Sound!! Always a pleasure. Great job !! Great pizza
Defiantly the best pizza I ve had in Owen Sound Area Fresh toppings, real food, great and friendly service! I will be ordering more items again soon Thank you
Excellent customer service
New to town. This place has the best Gyros I ve ever had in my life! So saucy . They don t skimp on anything. Everything is made in house. So delicious. Can t wait to try their olives and Olive Oil . Will be back next week for Christmas present shopping !!

The lady and I, love it here. A classic to our hearts, great food, great people always great service! One of the best places in town!
You can always count on a delicious meal and friendly service
Went there on a recommendation in 2015 and have been going ever since. The food is always fresh, the portions are great, the staff is all very welcoming and friendly, and it is consistent.
Scrumptious and made fresh when you order. If you happen to stop in for take out like I do every Wednesday for lunch, you are greeted with a warm welcome and great conversation while you watch your delicious meal being created. 5+++ stars
Best pizza in Owen Sound hands down! You really cant compare Europa to the chains here, its on another level. I just wish it was open longer and on weekends. If you have the opportunity to get this pizza, dont hesitate!
AMAZING food! AMAZING customer service! Well maintained and very great experiences! I have visited other greek restaurants and not had so great experiences... But this one is soooo amazing I cant say anything but, GREAT JOB!!! I will surely be visiting again, and many times after that! This is the best food that has EVER crossed my lips!
Love this place. Only place to get real gyros and awesome atmosphere. Will always recommend this place to everyone.
Good pizza. Homemade dough and sauce. Family owned. 3 generations were there when we picked up our order.
Great food huge servings awesome service. Highly recommend too anyone who hasnt been in yet.
The best home cooked food around.
Awesome Greek food, made pretty much right in front of you. Such a welcoming, communal feel. Owners are lovely people, amazing history to the restaurant.
Amazing food and amazing people!
Great food
Great homemade food for a great price, in a friendly family run restaurant. Best place to eat in Owen Sound.
Great food and great atmosphere
Awesome food, equally awesome conversation. There is a sign on the wall that says come in a stranger and leave as friends and it s not a exaggeration at all. Achilles is the man! Only critique I could give is the tzatziki could use a some more flavour!
Cant say enough good about this place. The people are Great and the food is to die for.... 10+
This place is awesome. Pizza, souvlaki, gyros...you can t go wrong.
Ive lived in Owen Sound my entire life. The customer service and food at Europa is hands down the best you will get out of this town. Ive never experienced such genuine customer service in all my years in this town. They really do make you feel like family. Keep up the good work guys, you rock!
Delicious food and great service.
An Owen Sound staple! The best pizza in town, hands down.
Excellent pizza!!! Very good service!!! Very nice!!! Its worth the detour!!!
Great food and great people. Thank you guys for being nice in these crazy times.
This is a classic place, I love visiting when Im back home. Thanks for years of the best Greek food in Owen Sound!
Came all the way from Collingwood for a donair and it was 100% worth it! Definitely recommend coming here.
Absolutely delicious chicken souvlakis.
Great authentic Greek restaurant! Amazing people with great personalitys! One of my favorite restaurants in town!
Excellent restaurant for Greek food, and one of best for pizza in area.
Amazing food and friendly people!
Glad I came across this place during my short visit in Owen Sound earlier this month. Me and my friend were super hungry after biking all day and this place had lots of great options to fuel us up. The friend got a Greek pizza all to himself and finished it in one sitting while I also finished the entire souvlaki platter by myself! The food tasted fresh and healthy. The portion was generous. Though it took more than half an hour to get our food, it was okay not just because theres not many other options around but the food was good!
Amazing A must eat at
Wow. That was so delicious. Everything was prepared fresh, and exactly the amount of time we were told when we ordered. It was evident that they love what they do there. Highly recommended!
Awesome service yet again! Best place for authentic Greek food, love it!
Excellent chicken souvlaki.
We ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner. It was so delicious that my husband and I think it is one of the best we have ever tasted. The meat was tender, moist and full of flavour. For dessert, we had the walnut baklava (made in house). This baklava tasted like the ones we had in Europe and very delicious with lots of nuts and honey. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to the next time we order there.
OMG!!!! THE PIZZA IS AMAZING!!!!& the souvlakie is EXCELLENT as well I will definitely be ordering again from this family owned small business
Best souvlaki I ve ever tasted. Great family owned and operated restaurant
Always delightful and delicious!
This is an amazing place great food great atmosphere and friendly staff.This is a personal favorite.
love the food and the service is great. Good value for the money.
I have lunch there all the time it is good authentic Greek food.
Good food!!
Delicious food!
Good food at reasonable prices
Great food and excellent prices!
Excellent food. The tzatziki was different than I have ever had but we pure delicious! The baklava was so decadent and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Great portions and super friendly staff! Cant wait to go back next week :)
Wonderful food
The pork slouvaki is amazing.
Best Gyro I have ever had. Traditional Greek food and a VERY reasonable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
The gyro meat is made from scratch and is delicious. The pizza crust is more of a European style. The service was great and Achilles has plenty of wisdom to share.
Great slouvaki
Older place but the looks are deceiving. The food was great.
Deliciousness, my fave is the chicken dinner. Pics of before and after.
Very friendly with award winning food.
One of Owen Sounds best kept secrets! A small, 2nd generation family owned Greek restaurant very definitely worth going to! Try the donair gyro with Greek salad, baked lasagna or their pizza! Their pizza is the best in town too!
I Always have a great experience here. Even when I bring friends and family they all always enjoy the fresh consistent food!
Best salad I have ever had. Always fresh! Everything there tastes amazing. It is cash only though.
I know what good Greek food is and this isnt even close to being mediocre. A complete fail.Instead of awesome lemon potatoes and rice you receive French fries and a tasteless cucumber sauce. Really bad.
Super cute freshly made and authentic Greek cuisine :) we were served by the owner and his son. Great food with wholesome kind environment
MMMMMM YUMMY!! Europa does it right! They have been in business forever. Hell, Im going there RIGHT NOW for a yummy Souvlaki Pita!
Delicious
I will never eat here again. Worst food and service I have ever been to.
So tasty, friendly owner and laid back atmosphere. Great prices
We love the food, the price and the atmosphere!!! Great people!!!
Best place Ive been for Greek food
In town for a hockey tournament. Very good food (gyros & lasagne were both great) and I really liked the owners vibe. Will go there again before the weekend is up!
Great food and service!
I would go as far as to say that if you give this place a one star rating.. You might want to look in the mirror at the real problem. Best greek takeout youll find.
This place is the best Greek restaurant in the area! Always greeted with a smile, and always 5*
Yum!
The best souvlaki in the region. Old family business that never changes. Always reliably delicious! Bit of a dive but dont let the ambiance keep you out. You may be privy to authentic Greek family infighting. You have to go to Alexandros in T.O. to find any better Greek fare.
Best food in town
Its not bad not the greatest Greek food I tried
THE best pizza ever. If you find yourself in Owen Sound you find yourself here if youre doing it right. Everything is made fresh every day. Although Im a sucker for pizza, the entirety of their menu is incredible, especially their gyros. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
Amazing food and great prices but the diner looks almost the same as when I was a kid. I don t personally consider that a retraction; I always enjoy stopping in!
Best Greek pizza in town
This is the WORST, so called greek food , I ve ever had. These people put greek food to shame. I threw 70$ in the barbage! Pizza was burnt and wet in the middle. Tatziki was full of water and the chicken was not chicken! Disgusting!!!
Great food, very friendly staff. Good pizza and souvlaki. Everything fresh. Eat in is an experience. Dont judge by appearance.
Excellent staff, great for some grub. A great family restaurant with a different menu.
One word...DELICIOUS
Great Greek food!
Great food and wonderful staff
Great place for lunch! Probably one of the best Greek wraps I ve ever had. Highly recommend!
Great Pizza. Home made and fresh
Great food . The restaurant is dated but clean and well ran.
Amazing food and people!
Amazing food , friendly service . Would definitely recommend .
This place is great. Had the chicken souvlaki and it was spot on. Amazing flavour and great portions. Friendly guy working, obviously takes pride in his cooking.
Real home made style Greek. Super fresh ingredients daily makes all dishes have a delicious punch of flavour!
