Christmas is my favourite time of year, whether I’m in London or the motherland. I love everything that the Greek festive season stands for, so I thought I would share some of my favourite traditions with you. On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… lots of naughty goblins. Kallikantzaroi come…
Greek Easter is a special celebration of local customs, colourful traditions and plenty of delicious food! Preparations begin on Holy Thursday, where Easter bread is baked, and continue through to Easter Monday. Greek Easter dates fall differently to Easter in the UK, but this year they fall over the same weekend. To celebrate, we’ve got…
We will once again be celebrating the Greek day of Tsiknopempti on 16th February! We’ll serve our spit-roasted ‘pay by the kilo’ souvlas for groups to share, with a selection of traditional sides. Tsiknopempti is the Thursday during Greek Mardi Gras marking the beginning of the last weekend that Greek Orthodox members can eat meat…
Love Greek wine? Wish you could enjoy more of that Rakomelo you finished your meal with last time you were here?

This year it’s even better. My chefs have perfected the recipe in the kitchen over the last months, to make…
I know I know, it’s October, and you can’t get your head around why people are ALREADY talking about Christmas. Well we just don’t want you to miss out! Get those group bookings and private hire requests in early, and then there’s no last minute panic… just plenty of ouzo. This year we’re going bigger…
“Thou should eat to live; not live to eat”. Whoever came up with that phrase most definitely didn’t do enough living, if you ask me. Either that, or they hadn’t got round to trying authentic Greek food, from the best Greek restaurant in town. I make sure all my guests leave feeling a little more…
We must hand it to them. The French have done incredibly well at staking their claim as the world’s best wine producers. You rarely pass a restaurant in the evening without hearing the words ‘Malbec’, ‘Merlot’, ‘Sauvignon’ or ‘Chablis’ floating up from the tables. We hear this far too much at any given restaurant in…
