About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
Sister restaurant of Kokkari, Evvia has been serving authentic rustic Greek cuisine since 1995. Our fresh fish, savory roasted meats and grilled and roasted vegetables are perked up with a squeeze of lemon, a splash olive oil, and Mediterranean herbs. There is perfection in simplicity.

    Evvia is world class. We have dined here many times and tonight was exceptionally delicious! Unbelievable quality, sensational service, and s spirit of conviviality that keps us coming back. A wide variety of appetizers to choose from. Wild mushrooms and Evvia salad with pine nuts and a lush feta dressing started us off. Succulent lamb chops and lemony potatoes are legendary. Greek wines make the perfect pairing. Conclude with the simple dessert of house made Greek yogurt with divine honey, toasted walnuts and just the right amount of dates. A feast worth applauding.
