Olympia - Coeur d'Alene

I absolutely adore Greek cuisine, and I had the opportunity to sample some new and delectable dishes at this restaurant! I enjoyed everything we tried and found the staff to be very friendly. I only wish that there was a similar establishment closer to where I live!

I have been fortunate enough to savor authentic Mediterranean cuisine in numerous countries along the sea, so it was a delightful surprise to discover this restaurant that truly captures the essence and flavor of the cultures it represents. I absolutely adore this dining establishment.

Amazing! This restaurant is family-owned and serves handmade Dolmathes. It is very difficult to find handmade Dolmathes (Dolma) these days, but this place nailed it with their delicious Dolmathes in avgolemono sauce. The Dolmathes themselves are gluten-free (unlike the pita bread). I definitely need to return for a full lunch next time I am in town.

The most amazing Greek spot! Just like you're in Greece, with yiayia cooking for you. Super delicious food, great portions, friendly kind service! We got the Greek fries and lamb plate to share for lunch. We will definitely be back!

Visiting from out of town I wanted to find a simple mom pop place for lunch. Walking around the downtown area I happen across this location. Greek food is always a top choice for me because it's usually fresh and tasty. It's pretty hard to miss it being Greek with the white and blue outside decor, and a name like Olympia. But that's maybe beside the point. I walked in and was greeted with a great, friendly voice. Once inside the decor is quite dated, and the building is very old. But that typically does not mean the food is bad. In fact many of my best dining experiences are at old mom and pop type locations. As it turns out, this was no different. I ordered the Gyro plate, which is basically a Gyro without being wrapped in the pita. I want a little more salad and less bread. The plate was delivered maybe less than 10 minutes after I ordered, and the portions are nice and healthy sized. First bite the salad, fresh, crispy, clean. Dressing, nice. Second bite meat and salad, good tasting gyro meat. Third bite, I begin to chow down. Yep, this is what I desired. A clean fresh salad with yummy Greek seasoned meat, a little bit of pita, and I ordered some hummus for the side. The hummus was nice and garlicy, not quite as smooth as I'm used to, but indeed very tasty. I finished every bit of this meal with great joy. At the end I always ask myself would I come back here again? The answer is absolutely. Next time if I'm in Coeur d'Alene for more than a few days, this will be one of my stops. Thanks Olympia for the great meal and the friendly faces!!
