Welcome to the Rainbow Family Restaurant, one of Canada's oldest family owned
establishments! Long time owner, Chris Givelas, arrived from Greece in 1951 with his
family. Alongside his father John, and his brothers Nick and Steve, the Givelas
family opened the Rainbow Restaurant in 1958. During these initial years, Chris
provided the Oshawa and surrounding area with great food at great prices, and 24
hour service, all while starting a family with his wife, Aphrodity. 64 years later,
the Rainbow and its staff continue to provide the same dining experience that set it
apart from the big chain restaurants.
My name is Louie Givelas, and I would like to extend my sincerest thanks
to everyone who has supported the Rainbow over the years. I hope you enjoy your
visit with us, and I hope that I am able to continue the tradition of quality that
my parents have been offering since the beginning.
