Anyone looking for fine Greek food should really try Asteras in Nanaimo. When a family member stops by to take me out for lunch or dinner, it's not just me who suggests Astera's. In fact the last time my daughter and her husband were here there was limited parking available close to the restaurant so I suggested another one as... More

I have eaten here a hand full of times and always enjoy my food. The owner is usually there making sure everything is up to par. I like this, as it gives it a personal feel and when there is a special occasion, such as a birthday, they always acknowledge it. The lamb shoulder is excellent as is all the... More

We went for our daughter's grad get together. We thought this would be a good place to visit and have some good food. We were very pleased with the experience and would go back. The owners/ hosts were very hands on and they made our experience very memorable. We would highly recommend. We also found the prices to be affordable... More

Our Buccaneer Motel host highly recommended this as one of his favorites after he was unable to name a good local seafood place. We were happy with his recommendation and probably would not have discovered this on our own. For one thing it is in an obscure location in an unusual looking house. Once seated at our reserved table hospitality... More

With high expectations we tried Asteras for dinner. Went for the grilled rack of lamb chops. The lamb was simply the very best we've ever had. Super tender, fantastic flavour, great seasoning. The rest of the plate was just ok with a bit of grilled root vegetables, plain white rice, small roasted potato wedge and disappointingly smaller greek salad. My... More

My goodness - it was so good, I don't know what to say. Authentic, flavourful, romantic. The food was so fresh and the servers were amazing. Thank you so much for a great evening.

Food was excellent - though we ordered way more than two people could possibly eat. Large portions, very tasty. Good service.

We had a reservation at this restaurant for 8 pm on a Saturday night. When we arrived we had to wait a couple of minutes to be acknowledged, not a big deal we could tell they were busy. The owner said he would have a table available right away. About 15 minutes later the hostess took us to a table... More
