Souvlaki in Toronto is grilled skewered pork, chicken or lamb served on a plate with tzatziki, lemon potatoes and Greek salad. The Danforth's Greektown runs the city's reference plates.
Greek souvlaki reached Toronto with Greek immigration through the 1950s and 1960s. The Danforth's Greektown became Toronto's reference Greek-Canadian neighbourhood by the 1970s, with Mezes and Astoria Shish Kebob House the longest-running. The Taste of the Danforth festival in August closes the avenue for Greek-Canadian food and music, drawing more than a million visitors during peak years.
