The Balkan is one of the few representatives of a culinary genre that is rare in the Canadian west; garlic and olive oil spiced Greek dining. While far from the rustling orchards and soft breezes of the Mediterranean, this Hellenic spot still manages to serve up a mean platter of Kalamari and Keftethes. Colorful Mediterranean paintings and marble busts are interspersed with clambering, tangled vines. The 20 or so tables scattered throughout the room fill up quickly around suppertime, so it's a good idea to reserve.
