Authentic Greek Specialities

Not only do we offer traditional Italian cuisine, we also have a wonderful selection of authentic Greek specialities on our menu.
The Cretan diet is world renowned for its promotion of good health and longevity. You will find a selection of appetisers that feature vine leaves stuffed with rice and fresh herbs, Greek salad with wonderful Cretan tomatoes, fresh grilled locally grown vegetables and goat cheese.
A fantastic starter to share is our MIXED GREEK PLATE; a wonderful selection of traditional Cretan dips with Tirokafteri, a spicy creamed feta; Melitzansalata, mashed baked aubergine with fresh parsley, lemon juice and yogurt; Tzatziki, the famous cucumber and yogurt dip; Taramasalata, a tasty combination of caviar and yogurt; Skordalia, potato and garlic puree, and Gigas, the very traditional big beans with a fresh tomato sauce.

Youvetsi is an authentic Cretan recipe that many Greek restaurants now fail to offer. Chicken or beef is slowly cooked with fresh tomato and spices. A small pasta, very similar to rice, is added to the juices and the dish is baked in the oven. A tasty alternative to the Italian pasta on offer.
