An Evening from the Port of Volos
Upscale Greek cuisine, fresh Mediterranean seafood and a wine-led evening — in a refined, contemporary room on the theatre row of downtown Toronto.
Volos is a coastal port at the top of the Pagasetic Gulf — where the Aegean quietens into a bay of fishing boats and the tavernas keep their tables laid until the last ferry. This dining room, at 133 Richmond, borrows both the name and the pace.
The cooking is contemporary Greek in the honest sense: fresh whole fish and shellfish flown from the Mediterranean, a full carte of meze and small plates, mains built around fire and olive oil, a wine list weighted toward the islands. The dining room is quiet enough for a table for one and generous enough for a table for twelve — and the bar mixes cocktails to match.
For the theatre-going crowd, we hold a fixed-price prix fixe before curtain — a way to eat well and still make the 8 o'clock show at the Princess of Wales, the Royal Alex, or Roy Thomson Hall, all a short walk away.
Pages from the room, the table and the sea it borrows from — hand-blown lanterns strung in fishermen's nets, plates set for an evening, a coastal wine at open.
A dining room built for a long evening — cozy for solo dining at the bar, romantic at a corner two-top, and generous with a private dining room for a group of friends, family or a business table.
Everything a first-time guest needs — the hours, the address, the small print of an upscale room. Reservations are required for parties and recommended at every seating.

Pick a night and a time. We hold the pre-theatre seatings tightly, so for the 6:00 curtain crowd, book early. For parties larger than six, call the room directly and we'll set the private dining room.
