Sure enough, Google translates it to:
Vanilla barbecue lamb ribs
For more amusing entertainment, try Google translation of Japanese.
I guess the place mentioned on the first page of this thread is “Greek Go” (希臘左巴). I wandered by yesterday and grabbed a business card, but didn’t try it (I was on my way somewhere else for lunch). The place is actually a chain, with several branches, and a website with almost no English (but complete menus in Chinese). The restaurant looked nice enough inside - the menu posted outside, with very limited English, seemed mildly promising.
I’m in the Gongguan area about once a month, but it has such a fantastic concentration of interesting places to eat - I never know where to go!

Hello .
I have friend from French, but he can cook Greek food ,
before he worked in Greek restaurant , he want to find chef job in Taiwan
but don’t know the Greek restaurants are popular here?
Does anyone can give some information about it
Thank you .
If I recall correctly, there’s one on 永康街, but I think it’s a cafe, not a restaurant. Google tells me it’s called Syros.
Taipei doesn’t have many Greek restaurants.
Opa has been getting some good word of mouth.
And Greek Go (a.k.a. Xīlà Zuǒbā / 希臘左巴 / Zorba the Greek) has three restaurants: Yongkang Jie, Shi-Da, and Tai-Da.
Thanks for cranky laowai .
It looks very useful information.
There’s a big one in Tainan, if he doesn’t mind moving.
Unfortunately, the only thing Greek about this place is the name and the logo.
There’s one near Shida called MyKonos: [url]http://www.mykonos.htm.tw/[/url]. Haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure how Greek it actually is.
I liked Opa much more than Greek Go. I haven’t tried Mykonos.
Thanks guys, now I’m hungry for Greek food. And since I live in Taoyuan, it’s going to be a good long while since I can satisfy that. Thanks again. -_-
Opa is pretty good. I went there recently and the only thing I didn’t like was the hummus size (pretty small). The rest, food and service, was excellent.

Opa is not bad, but yeah the portion is quite small, but overall it is good, worth trying
Gravedig!
Greek restaurant: Taipei Souvlaki / 我愛希臘捲餅. Sort of near Raohe Night Market, I guess? It’s in an area of Taipei I very seldom go to, and I got there by bike today, so I’m not entirely sure how it connects to different places. Plenty of different skewers (kebabs?) served as platters or in wraps. I enjoyed the kefta (ground beef-lamb mix) wrap today, but I hadn’t eaten in seven hours, and I was two hours into a bike ride, so I’d probably have enjoyed anything.
Just a streetside place - not fine dining. But worth a try if you’re in the area. I hope below is a Facebook link, although it’s just showing up as “Log in to Facebook” for me.
