The 3 Best Barrhaven Greek Restaurants That’ll Make You Say ‘Opa’!
I’m as obsessed with “Mamma Mia!” as much as that theatre geek you knew in high school – so much so that I make it a point to watch it every year, and sometimes even thrice if we’re being accurate.
And what’s a Mamma Mia marathon without Greek food for the ultimate immersive experience?
That’s what led me on a quest to find the best Greek restaurants, and I chose Barrhaven for my culinary adventure.
After scouring countless neighborhoods, I had a feeling this suburb would deliver some serious hidden gems. Spoiler alert: I was absolutely right.
