In 1963, Jimmy Antonopoulos journeyed from Nafplio, Greece to Toronto, Canada, bringing with him the flavours of Greece!
Inspired by the desire to share authentic Greek flavours with friendly and hospitable service, Jimmy The Greek first opened its doors in Toronto in 1985 and has since grown to a network of over 50 locations across Canada! Rooted in Jimmy’s vision of bringing fine dining quality to the quick service industry, we are proud to have evolved into a third-generation family business that remains committed to serving fresh, homemade, and authentic Greek food. Whether you dine in or take your meal to go, our menu offers a diverse array of options to satisfy the whole family, so come join us and let our family feed yours!

Our menu over the years hasn’t changed and that’s because our commitment to you hasn’t changed. We provide traditional Greek recipes made in the traditional Greek way that means never cutting corners for efficiency or cost. We serve you great meals quickly because we put all the time in preparing before you get here, that means long hours and busy days but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
