Honest verdict on Spanakopita — good but not exceptional
Spanakopita here was solidly made — cleanly savoury without anything to complain about. feta cheese was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

First time trying Spanakopita — completely converted
I had never tried Spanakopita before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The rich with olive oil taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. dried oregano is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

Ingredient appreciation — what makes Spanakopita special
What sets Spanakopita apart is the handling of lemon juice. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the herbal and aromatic result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

The Spanakopita I grew up eating — memory as a review
I grew up eating Spanakopita and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the rich with olive oil was right, Kalamata olives was handled the way it should be.

Decent Spanakopita — nothing more, nothing less
Spanakopita at this place was fine. The herbal and aromatic flavour was there but not distinguished. dried oregano was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Home cooking attempt — Spanakopita from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Spanakopita from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting lemon juice right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The rich with olive oil result was rewarding once I got it right.

Traditional versus modern Spanakopita — which wins?
I've now had Spanakopita prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises feta cheese in the way the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. The rich with olive oil character is more pronounced and direct.
The moder…

Cooking class experience — learning Spanakopita properly
I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Spanakopita correctly. The instructor explained why lemon juice is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The herbal and aromatic result when you make it yourself is different.
