Paradise Island Foods

Where It Began

Since 1978, Paradise Island Foods has strived to make various food products more accessible to Vancouver Island residents. While accessibility remains a priority, our focus has shifted to providing natural and organic dairy options in response to our customer’s evolving needs.

Paradise Island takes pride in—and inspiration from—the tranquil pace and environmentally progressive nature of Vancouver Island and its residents.

Eugene's Greek Food

About Eugene's

The founder of Eugene's Greek Restaurant, Evgeni (Eugene) Vassiliadis arrived in Victoria from his home in the bustling port of Piraeus (outside of Athens) with wife Paschalina (Lina) and two young sons, Elefterios (Terry) and Pantelis (Lee) in November 1974.  Only nine-year old Terry understood English and was able to help other family members to settle in.

From the very beginning Eugene had a vision to open a traditional Greek Souvlaki Snack Bar in Victoria.  However, having arrived in Victoria with only 2 suitcases and a trunk, Eugene began working as a brick-layer, his trade in Greece, in order to support his young family.
