Eating out in
Greece is a national pastime and a leisurely pleasure. Whether dining at a local
taverna or an elegant restaurant, Greeks take their time over food. The native
cuisine is delightfully uncomplicated and quite different from what's found in
Greek restaurants abroad. Much of the cooking relies on simple seasonings and
fresh meat and vegetables.
It's common for Greeks to
make a lunch of mezedes, or hors d'oeuvres. Typical dishes include fried
meatballs, squash balls, octopus, shrimp, squid, cheese, olives, stuffed vine
leaves, tzatziki (garlicky yogurt and cucumbers), eggplant dip, small sausages
and giant beans. You can find mezedes at an ouzeri (serving ouzo, an
anise-flavored liqueur) or at a mezedopolio (serving locally produced wine or
beer); both of these types of restaurants are open during the day. For the
evening meal, Greek tavernas serve such specialties as moussaka (lamb, eggplant
and bechamel sauce), kabobs, pastitsio (lamb or goat meat with macaroni and
tomatoes), stifado (braised beef with onions) and paidakia (grilled lamb or goat
chops).
The cost of dinner for one, not including drinks,
start 6 Euro
