ASTERAS GREEK TAVERNA REVIEWS
A bartender in Courtenary told us that Asteras was her favourite place to eat on the island. We can understand why. Stopped here for lunch on our way through Nanaimo. Seated nearly immediately and were able to order quickly. Service (and owners) were very friendly. We had the (former) lunch special and moussaka. Both incredible. The restaurant has great ambiance and history. Would eat here again, without a doubt.
The restaurant's appetizer and dessert were outstanding, with the main course (lamb) being quite satisfactory. The New Zealand Merlot served was excellent and the staff were exceptionally courteous and helpful, going above and beyond with their recommendations. The atmosphere is truly delightful, transporting you to Greece at the moment. Without a doubt, this restaurant comes highly recommended!
Amazing staff & food, plus settings! Received a complimentary special coffee for our anniversary, a very nice touch! And a visit from the owner to welcome us in and make sure we were well taking care of …

ALEXANDRA'S BISTRO REVIEWS
I visited Alexandra’s for the first time this past weekend. It’s a place I have heard highly of from friends and it didn’t disappoint! A group of three of us shared the two person platter and some calamari and it was perfect. We got to try a bit of everything and there was more than enough for all of us. Food came out pretty quickly, the owner/chef did a walk of the restaurant and talked to each table to make sure everything was satisfactory. It more than was. At the end of our already lovely dinner, we go to pay and were passed a complimentary dessert to go. It was a delicious cheese cake that came with a mango glaze to pore over. 11/10 I will definitely be back. You can tell this is a restaurant that truly cares about the experience.
Awesome Family run restaurant which in my opinion is always better then some copy of a copy of a copy corporate chain. The food is excellent. It's homemade from scratch with large tasty portions. You have a very good chance of having to request a take home box which they are always happy to oblige. I take my mum there she can only eat half a meal and we take the other half home for her. Calamari hands down is the best I've ever had. The owner Bobby always tries to get out and make the rounds from the kitchen to say hello and ask how everything is. Prices are excellent as well.
Got take-away. We ordered calamari with our entree and they waited until we arrived to pick up our food to cook the calamari which was fantastic! We had to wait a few minutes but it was well worth it since the calamari was still crispy when we got home to eat. The rest of the food was amazing as well, particularly the pesto prawn penne. Great service, great value, definitely will be going back.

ZOUGLA RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Was pleasantly surprised, the food was very tasty and portions were great. So glad we found it on Google, since none of the locals had recommended it when asking for Greek food recommendations. The dining room is expansive and lets you feel private at your table despite being somewhat close to other tables. House made bread was the perfect crunchy exterior crust, served fresh and warm to your table.
Best Greek food in Nanaimo period! Everything was amazing from start to finish. Beautiful dining room with a lovely view. The staff and our server were beyond friendly and very attentive. Food was delicious. Dessert was amazing. We will be back very soon!!!
Excellent food and service. We were a large party and the servers were friendly and attentive. A lovely place to go for lunch or dinner!
