Delicious Greek dishes, both traditional and contemporary, are served in an elegant corner dining room. Specialities include beef, lamb and wild-caught fish and, of course, mezedes (appetisers) such as fried baby octopus, pitakia (pita stuffed with feta and sundried tomato) and dolmades (rice-filled vine leaves).
