Sometimes it feels as though everything good came from Greece! Think about it, without that warm and inviting country in the Mediterranean we wouldn’t have democracy, philosophy, science, drama, literature, mathematics or even the Olympic Games. We can’t be certain whether or not the first hipsters or the earliest examples of street food began in…
If you, like me, love all things Greek, then I imagine you wonder Why are food blogs so popular? Well it of course has something to do with the first person point of view. When reading a review or a recipe on a blog you are doing so because you often have more faith in…
Summer has come to East London (well, almost!) and as we head towards July, with the hope of sunnier days, there’s only one thing the people of East London are looking for – a sunny terrace! On the corner of Old Castle Street and Wentworth Street you’ll find my brand new outside area enclosed by…
For restaurants in Spitalfields it’s easy to take for granted the market itself and the history of the area, and not fully appreciate it. Coming over the the UK only last year from Greece, I’m the first to admit that I don’t know nearly as much as I should do! I thought I’d do a little research…

The food at The Hungry Donkey is all very good, some of it is so good, in fact, that I’m not too keen on sharing with my three dining companions during a recent visit. Opened earlier this year, just minutes from Spitalfields and the city, the restaurant is far less like a British chain pub…
When you think ‘Greek Food’ you might think long lazy lunches in the sun or a big sharing dinner with the family, but how about Greek breakfast? Believe it or not, us Greeks know a thing or two about putting on a proper brekkie, and it goes further than Greek yoghurt – although there’s no…
David Harfield brings his cloak and wand to the Aldgate East Greek street food restaurant, Hungry Donkey.
