This Mother’s Day weekend, be transported to the Greek island of Santorini through the authentic tastes of Nòstimo By The Original Greek and a blend of Mediterranean feel-good music by internationally renowned guitarist Pavlo.
Located at 184 Marina Boulevard, the iconic Peterborough restaurant is not only presenting a concert by Pavlo at the Market Hall Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, May 10, but is also offering a pre-concert VIP dinner package that includes a three-course dinner, VIP seating at the concert, and an exclusive meet and greet with Pavlo at the restaurant.
Seats are limited and tickets for the delicious evening are selling fast. To reserve your VIP dinner package, call the restaurant at 705-991-3747.
Though it opened in 2021, Nòstimo By The Original Greek’s legacy, traditions, and recipes date back to more than 45 years ago when co-owner George Anagnostou’s parents Paul and Mary Anagnostou founded the city’s first Greek restaurant, The Shish Kabob Hut, in 1976.
Decades later, after opening several of his own restaurants — including The Original Greek in Peterborough — Anagnostou partnered with Red Seal Chef Shannon LeClair, who brings a wealth of expertise in Mediterranean cuisine, to bring Greek tradition back to Peterborough with the launch of Nòstimo By The Original Greek.
While the restaurant celebrates the Greek culinary tradition by serving up souvlaki, moussaka, spanakopita, tzatziki, and other authentic dishes, Nòstimo By The Original Greek does not stop at flavours when it comes to bringing Greece to Peterborough. That’s why Anagnostou and LeClair are sponsoring the concert by Pavlo on the Mother’s Day weekend.

Born in Toronto to Greek parents, Pavlo is an award-winning guitarist and songwriter whose “Mediterranean music” blends Greek, flamenco, Latin, and Balkan sounds wrapped in contemporary pop. With 15 albums under his belt, Pavlo has performed around the world, touring with artists including Olivia Newton-John, José Feliciano, and The Tenors. He has even performed for King Charles.
The May 10 event will not be the first time Anagnostou has welcomed Pavlo to Peterborough. Several years ago, The Original Greek sponsored a similar event featuring Pavlo and fellow guitarists Rik Emmett and Oscar Lopez, who had recorded an album together.
Priced at $135, the VIP dinner package includes a three-course dinner with a choice of wine or beer, VIP seating at the concert, and an exclusive opportunity to meet Pavlo at the restaurant, where you can get his autograph and take selfies and photos with him. It’s a sure way to have Mom feeling extra special this year!
Doors to Nòstimo By The Original Greek at 184 Marina Boulevard open at 4:30 p.m. on May 10 with the first course served at 5 p.m., leaving diners with plenty of time to get to the Market Hall in downtown Peterborough when Pavlo takes the stage at 7:30 p.m.
To reserve seats, call Nòstimo By The Original Greek at 705-991-3747. If you only want tickets to the concert, you can get them online at markethall.org.
