MEZZE
The beginning of the meal in Greece is sometimes the most tantilizing, with the many small plates of piquant flavors and bright colors. As by rule one never drinks without eating, and the Mezze is where it all begins...
Rustic Crusty Bread made with wild yeast
Olives – an assortment of marinated Greek olives on every table
Dolmades Our delicious handmade grape leaves stuffed with rice, currants, pine nuts and fresh mint. Cooked in olive oil and lemon juice. These are one of our long-time favorite recipes.
Melitzanosalata– This eggplant dip is made from whole eggplants whose skins have been burned to a crisp. The insides become smokey and meltingly tender. An incredible dip with lemon and garlic.
