WHO ARE WE?
We’re the second generation of two Greek families that came to Canada to open some of Vancouver’s longest running restaurants.

Now, we’re taking everything we’ve learned from them to offer a brand new dining experience.

WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?
Loula’s is the Greek nostalgia of our upbringing infused with modern dining trends that have intrigued us. The atmosphere and cuisine are an homage to our namesake, a woman dear to our hearts who always leaves you in good spirits with a full stomach. Expect that overwhelmingly authentic Greek experience when you step through our doors—along with a few other things you won’t expect. You’ll just have to trust us.

WHERE ARE WE?
We’re located in the heart of Commercial drive, a spot we feel quite at home in. If you know anything about The Drive, you know it’s warm, vivacious and a little kooky.

Just like Loula.

We were seated in the back room next to a table of 20+ large group and it was SO loud. We were there for my husband’s 40th birthday and we couldn’t even hear each other the entire time. I told the manager but she didn’t seem bothered nor did the restaurant do anything special for my husbands 40th birthday birthday. It’s upsetting to see an establishment not care about such things. There are many other restaurants in the city who will acknowledge when you are there to celebrate a milestone birthday and make it special instead of sticking you in a corner next to a group of that size like you’re not important. Very disappointed.

The food was amazing. The service was quite good as well. The ambience was amazing. I would have appreciated options for coffee/dessert, but they were lacking. We ended up having to go to another restaurant for coffee and dessert.

I really enjoy the ambiance and food at Loula’s. Service is always great! However the music was soooo very loud on Friday night, it was nearly impossible to hear my partner. If it had been a bit less noisy, it would have been a much better experience!

Been there last year and food was amazing and fresh. This time the food looked unappealing. Soggy potatoes. Not crispy or fresh tasting. Very burnt soft tops. Greek salad was half the amount and looked and tasted like it was in the fridge several days. Definitely not freshly made. The only fresh part was the onions and feta. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to a delicious dinner. Staff were great as usual but the food was absolutely terrible. I would be embarrassed to serve the quality that I had yesterday.

The ambiance wasn’t that great. There was a DJ and that’s it. Way before when the opened there was dancing and singing and breaking plates and stuff but non of that now. It’s just dinner and music like everywhere else
