Good Food Is Meant to Be Shared

Greek cuisine is comfort food — we know it, we crave it, we love it. MR.SOUVLAKI has been in the business for over 20 years and in 2025, we unveiled a brand new look and vibe. If you’ve known us from before, wait till you see us now!

We pride ourselves in the staples of our brand: our souvlakis and tzatziki, made from scratch. Our food is simple yet flavourful, fast yet fresh. We serve authentic Greek cuisine with a refreshed menu offering, incorporating all the classics such as Chicken Souvlaki Plate, Classic Pita, and Calamari, as well as innovative items like our Gyro Fries, Apollo Bowl, and Loaded Pita — our signature pita loaded with fries!

The first location opened in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, and we’ve grown to 16 locations across Canada.

Hear from Our Franchise Owners

“For us, the experience with Yuzu was wonderful. We chose Yuzu because we knew it was a Quebec franchise that everyone loved. We quickly felt confident with the Yuzu Management team and, from the very beginning of the project, we felt like we were part of it. Yuzu Management’s handling of the project ensured that everything went smoothly and the opening took place on schedule. After only three weeks of operation, we already had a loyal customer base! Now that we are up and running, when we have questions, we refer to Gestion Yuzu and they respond quickly. From the very first weeks, we felt at home, in our place. My sister and I are already thinking about opening a second Yuzu Sushi restaurant in the next few years!”

— Claudia and Isabelle Boudreault, Franchisees

After several years in retail, we were looking for a challenge that would allow us to flourish both personally and professionally. We were drawn to the positive and energetic vibe of the Yuzu team. As we had hoped, we quickly developed a great relationship with our franchisor. The exchanges during the set-up of our first restaurant were conducted with great professionalism, respect, and enthusiasm. This closeness is really what sets Groupe Yuzu apart from other brands. Although the management team works tirelessly to develop the brand, the entire team is available to answer our questions. It is reassuring and motivating for a franchisee to see that the franchisor is a business partner rather than an adversary or an obstacle. Today, our restaurants’ performance is skyrocketing because we have succeeded in building an effective team of competent people in whom we have confidence.

— Pascal Caron, Franchisee
