", in no establishment has this phrase rung more true. El Spero has been a part of this com m unity for over 28 years now, continually meeting new people and making new friends. Danny and Patricia Kotsopoulos opened El Spero almost three decades ago now, bringing w ith them some fabulous fam ily recipes that are still tempting tastebuds all over town. Consistent hard work and commitment to their customers to serve the best food around earned them a reputa tion early on for fabulous food and superior ser vice. G rowing up in this fam ily owned and oper ated restaurant, it was just natural that brothers (sons of Danny and Patricia) Steve and Don Kotsopoulos w ould carry on the restaurant in their fam ily's name, and uphold El Spero's repu tation w ithout fail. Located in Hopedale M all at 1515 Rebecca Street (and Third Line) El Spero is a fam ily orient ed restaurant, offering a casual fine dining expe rience. Commonly overheard at the restaurant is customers commenting, "It's not like visiting a restaurant at all!". The staff seems to know every one's name, and busy or not (although usually bustling) they always stop to smile and say hi. And they never forget a face. The menu offers something for everyone's appetite, from traditional sandwiches to full course entrees, a special children's menu and hearty breakfasts served all day. Their breakfast is known around town, and their 'A ll-day Breakfast Special' is a house favourite, serving bacon, ham or sausage, homefries, and toast for only $4.50! W ith specials like this, it's no wonder their regu lar clientele base keeps growing. El Spero also believes in supporting the com munity who has supported them for so many years, and regularly sponsors local sports teams. Being members of the O akville community, Steve and Don are proud of their hometown and are committed to maintaining their reputation for great food and superior service, and welcome comments from customers. After visiting them once, you can't help but return for what is sure to be another exemplary, tasty experience. El Spero's hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Drop by today, they're located in Hopedale Mall at 1515 Rebecca Street, or call them at 905-827-4851. |I A A GAB1 9 0 s-: m * / `5 V MED RESTAURANT \/\/ V V 5T p ! * ! · « K }-*~ I m ip w Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 11:30am-10pm FINE DINING AT FAST FOOD PRICES 134 Lakeshore Rd.W.
