Rooted in family, connections, and community

Our Story

A story of family traditions and Greek hospitality carried from Arta to the heart of Jasper.

Authentically Delicious

We’re all about family, tradition, and authentic Greek hospitality.


1971

Where it all began

From Arta, Greece, to the heart of Jasper, Alex and Helen Balomenos built Something Else on authentic recipes, hard work, and genuine hospitality. After arriving in Canada in 1971, they purchased the restaurant in 1996 and have welcomed generations of guests with the same warmth and traditions they brought from home.

Food has always been a way to bring people together

Today

Still Family. Still Authentic.

Today, Something Else continues to welcome visitors and locals alike with the same family recipes, warm hospitality, and commitment to genuine Mediterranean cooking that first inspired Alex and Helen more than four decades ago.
