Finding the best Baklava in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Baklava I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled dried oregano with genuine knowledge and the rich with olive oil result was noticeably superior.

Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. The winning restaurant had the right a taverna by the Aegean sea feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. retsina was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Baklava is made properly it's a completely different experience.
