IT’S GREEK
MEDITERRANEAN FOOD
T
his true Mediterranean gastronomic journey begins with the charming
decor of the restaurant, which uses sober colours and wooden furniture to
transport us to the most interesting cities bathed by the Mediterranean.
Thus, It’s GREEK will start in London, with its charm present in small details, as
in the ice bucket for the bottles of wine, the uniform of the staff members that
reminds a summer location, and the charming bar of the restaurant that invites
you to take some of the refreshing drinks before starting the meal. The
background music completes the mood.
But the voyage even excels in the flavours for its brunch, with natural juices,
Greek yoghurt with honey and almonds, toasties, pies, espresso and the well-
known Greek iced coffee.
At lunch start with the classic pitta bread with Tzatziki (made from yogurt, garlic,
and cucumbers), fresh curd, hummus, melitzanosalata (made with eggplant,
crushed garlic, grated onion, chopped parsley, and extra virgin olive oil, made in
the house) with the famous "Greek mezzes" (appetizers), and always freshly
prepared salads.
For the meals, the highlights are the Suvilaks (consisting of small pieces of meat
and sometimes vegetables grilled on a skewer), grilled Pargo (a fish) and the
Greek Octopus with surprising accompaniments in taste and texture.
Finally, a dessert of heaven on the planet earth, Galaktoboureko (made with a
custard in a crispy phyllo dough pastry shell).
