The review
Colossus Greek Taverna brings the celebratory spirit of the Aegean to Lakeshore Road East. With blue-and-white accents and the scent of lemon, garlic, and charcoal smoke drifting from the kitchen, it feels like an authentic Greek island taverna.
The grilled Lavraki (branzino) is cooked expertly: crispy skin seasoned with wild Greek oregano, enclosing tender, flaky white meat infused with olive oil and lemon. The saganaki arrives with the requisite burst of flame and a squeeze of fresh lemon, creating the perfect salty opener to share.
Honest notes: it is unpretentious and lively. Service is warm and familial. A reliable favourite for family celebrations and casual dinner dates.
