Inspired by the oceanside climate and their Italian and Middle-Eastern neighbours, Greek cuisine has so much more to offer than the Greek salad and skewers we’ve all come to know and love. Experience dishes loaded with aromatic herbs, fresh veggies, & seafood, steeped in ancient tradition and rich culture.
Next time you’re craving anything from Moussaka to Baklava, these Mediterranean hot spots are guaranteed to satisfy:
