MINERVA’S: A Golden Celebration
Story by Sarah Gordon, photos by Sandra Steier & submitted
On November 16, 1975, Nonda Pavlakis opened the doors of Minerva’s. Little did he know that 50 years later, the well-loved Mediterranean restaurant would still be filling tables, winning hearts, and drawing glowing reviews from loyal patrons.
Minerva’s story begins in Nafpaktos, Greece— the scenic portside town where Nonda was born and raised. In 1967, he left his homeland to join two of his siblings who had already settled in Vancouver. Like many newcomers, Nonda tried his hand at various jobs, working as a busboy, a tailor, and at the Greek Copacabana nightclub in East Vancouver.
His varied career path took a turn when a friend approached him with an idea to become business partners and purchase Minerva’s. They took the leap together, but the partnership was short-lived. Before long, Nonda became the sole owner of what would grow into a Kerrisdale institution.
The family restaurant is all Nonda’s son John has ever known; he was born into the business. He started bussing tables after school as a teenager and joined full-time following graduation. “My passion has always been food, beverage, and customer service,” John explains. “It’s what I love.”
Ten years ago, John and his family expanded the business with the opening of Barra 41, a modern bar and lounge connected to Minerva’s.
The goal was to create a space that offered something new while complementing the familiar warmth of the restaurant. “It’s become a place where long-time regulars and new generations can gather in a more contemporary setting,” John explains.
Today, John manages both Minerva’s and Barra 41, and his enthusiasm hasn’t dimmed. “I love coming to work and seeing our loyal customers,” he remarks. “Nonda is still here regularly—you’ll often see him during the evening, greeting guests like old friends. My mother retired years ago, but people still remember her behind the bar, shaking martinis.”
The family connection extends to John’s aunt, Susan, who has been with Minerva’s for forty-nine years and still works most evenings.
John shares, “We would like to thank our amazing staff, many of whom have been with Minerva’s for over 20 years. Without their dedication and hard work, we wouldn’t be here today celebrating 50 years of success.”
The menu marries traditional Greek cuisine with flavours from other parts of the Mediterranean.
“We’re still using the same family recipes,” John notes. “Our cocktail menu changes seasonally, and we’re always updating our wine list.” But the heart of the menu stays true to its roots.
Customer favourites include the slow-roasted lamb shoulder, BBQ ribs with Minerva’s signature homemade BBQ sauce, and classic souvlakis. Comfort dishes like hand-pressed pizzas and hearty pasta dishes are always popular choices. Pizzas and baked lasagna remain top picks for take-out and delivery orders.
“Pizza, BBQ ribs, baked lasagna, and steak and lobster were all on the original menu,” he adds. “They’re still some of our bestsellers. A lot of customers are surprised by how great our steaks are when they try them for the first time.”
The legendary barbecue sauce, created by Nonda’s father-in-law, remains one of the family’s best-kept secrets. “To this day, we still use his original recipe. Some things you just don’t change,” John says proudly.
“We are truly a neighbourhood restaurant that consistently provides quality meals for any occasion.”
“We’ve been so fortunate to see generations of families come and enjoy meals with us over the years. It’s rewarding to hear that we provide customers with a great experience. It’s wonderful to meet new people and build new relationships. We also have many customers who have been coming in for decades.” John adds with a laugh, “I can’t even count how many times my father has said, ‘I remember your parents coming in when they were pregnant with you,’ and now they come in with their kids.”
“Minerva’s has always been more than just a restaurant; we have been part of the Kerrisdale community for five decades.”
Over the years, families have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones
at Minerva’s, where the atmosphere is as comfortable as a family dinner table. “Keeping to our traditions has been a key factor to our success,” says John. “At the same time, we’ve never been afraid to evolve.”
Being a true family-run neighbourhood business for five decades is no small feat, and it’s what makes Minerva’s a success story. “We build connections with our guests and make them feel at home.”
As Minerva’s celebrates its golden anniversary, John reflects on what he hopes people will remember most. “I hope people remember that we always try and do things the right way. From the very beginning, my father set that standard—serve food with integrity, treat people with respect, and never cut corners. That’s how you build something that lasts fifty years.”

GRANDMAMA’S CAFÉ: Where Kindness
and Good Food Meet
Story by Sarah Gordon, photos submitted
Since purchasing Grandmama’s Café in June 2025, owner Gary Tang and his family have transformed the restaurant into far more than a place to eat—it’s a place where good food, kindness, and community spirit come together.
Grandmama’s is truly a family affair. “I wanted to share the work experience with my family,” Gary says. “It’s something meaningful we can do together.”
He manages the business, overseeing purchasing, staffing, and maintaining the quality of food and service. His wife, Esther, is the chef and develops new menu items. Their daughter Grace takes orders, assists in the kitchen, and serves customers. The family and their staff run the café with a sense of teamwork that’s evident the moment you walk in.
“It’s a warm, peaceful place,” Gary says with a smile.
Gary’s late wife, Cathy, had a passion for the restaurant industry and dreamed of opening a café that would empower people with developmental disabilities through
employment. The Tangs are proud to have fulfilled her dream. Their younger daughter, Faith, plans to move back to Vancouver to help with the café’s employment training program.
A sign informs guests that “training is in progress,” and Gary is quick to thank customers for their patience and understanding. “We feel blessed to help build confidence and skills,” he says.
The Tangs have called Kerrisdale home for 25 years and feel deeply connected to the neighbourhood, which Gary describes as
“friendly and welcoming.” He especially appreciates the number of seniors in the community, many of whom have made the café a part of their daily routine.
“We want people to feel like Grandmama’s is the best place in Kerrisdale.”
When the family took over, they decided to keep much of the existing menu locals loved while also introducing new flavours featuring Asian-inspired ingredients and plenty of fresh vegetables. The café uses free-range chicken and oil-packed tuna, which Gary says results in a more tender, delicate texture. Everything is made fresh daily, using ingredients from local suppliers.
Grandmama’s all-day breakfast remains a highlight. The continental, waffle, and Belgian waffle breakfasts are among the most popular dishes, while the tuna melt sandwich and spicy chicken—Gary’s personal favourite—are consistently bestsellers.
“Esther cooks with her heart,” Gary says with pride.
Her talent for baking is showcased in a tempting selection of pastries and baked goods. Her banana bread and muffins are must-try items. “Esther’s a marvellous baker,” Gary adds.
Open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Grandmama’s attracts mostly locals, although tourists have also discovered the charming café tucked away on Balsam Street, just off West 41st Avenue. It’s a perfect place to linger over coffee and conversation.
Before opening, the Tangs renovated the kitchen, with plans to remodel the dining room later this year. It’s part of Gary’s ongoing plan to make each guest’s visit even more enjoyable.
Customers often comment on the café’s calm and welcoming atmosphere. “People tell us they appreciate that they can actually carry on a conversation and be heard,” Gary says. Gentle background music adds to the peaceful surroundings.
The Tangs are also building their online presence. A new website is in the works; for now, they share updates on Instagram. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Gary and Esther find it rewarding to hear customers say, “We enjoyed our meal,” and “It was memorable.”
“The support Kerrisdale gives to local businesses like ours means so much,” Gary says. The Kerrisdale Business Association recently featured the couple on its Instagram page, calling them “truly an inspiration”—a sentiment many share after meeting the kindhearted couple.
Grandmama’s Café isn’t just about good food—it’s about connection. Thanks to the Tang family’s hospitality, the café has become a place where people can slow down, enjoy a good meal, and, as Gary says, “feel at peace.”
