We visited for the first time with a friend who wanted to have greek food. We ordered a few things to share and it was all great. The server was very knowledgeable and helped us with selections as we had some specific dietary things we wanted to have/not have.

I really really like this restaurant. Comfortable, tidy and beautiful. I come here once every 2 weeks or so. I love their lamb platter, tender and juicy.

There is some interesting history to this place. For decades, Eugene's was an iconic Victoria institution, serving exceptionally high quality Greek food across several locations, in a relatively casual unpretentious atmosphere. When the father (Eugene) who founded the restaurant retired, his sons took over. The quality of the food generally remained good, but consistency suffered, as the sons were largely missing in action, with no real passion, grit, or business sense for running restaurants. At one point there were sticky tapes all over the menu, updating the prices. Staff shortages and turnovers. It just felt they couldn't be bothered anymore. For a time, they had anniversary specials, where they would lower the prices back to 1980s prices, and the restaurant became completely overwhelmed with customers, showing that people still did remember and love the food, but that the restaurants were just badly mismanaged. Eventually Eugene's became an unprofitable enterprise, with one location closing after the next, with the last Eugene's shutting its doors about ten years ago.Village Taverna" was opened not long after

I'm so disappointed. We got the vegetarian platter for 2 and it was barely enough food for 1. We had to add 2 vegetarian pitas (they were disappointing too, they didn't even have feta..). It cost 70$ which is outrageously expensive for the low quality food & tiny portions we got. The service was the only thing amazing about this place.

Super friendly staff and chefs are a big advantage of this restaurant. Looked like most of the people are regulars and absolutely loved the food. They're halal if I'm not wrong. Never tasted the dish covered in grape leaves and it was really good. Prawns and meat balls were just cracking. Overall a must visit restaurant.

Fabulous family run restaurant. The food was very good and our server was a delight. The dining room got pretty busy and she kept the pace with a beaming smile.

Excellent! Very clean premises with polite, attentive staff. We had the lamb platter for two. The dinner included a Greek salad which had all fresh ingredients. The lamb was quite tender. Plenty of food for two adults and the price was very reasonable. We definitely will be visiting this restaurant again.

Soggy food.Just my experience. Take it or leave it.Skip showed up late and the food was cold leaving the restaurant. When I received it 1 hr and 40 min later. It was soggy, tasteless and cold.Called the restaurant and they would Do nothing to correct the issue.As a visitor to this city I would say shame on you. You should have more pride in your business and food you serve.
