Spanakopita

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Spanakopita well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The herbal and aromatic base was authentic and the use of dried oregano showed real knowledge. Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for mil…

I was looking forward to Spanakopita here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The cleanly savoury character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with feta cheese or from scaling up production at the expense of quality. Greek cuisine has influenced the e…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Spanakopita made with real commitment to feta cheese and technique. The bright and lemony result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek socia…

Spanakopita rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The herbal and aromatic complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using lemon juice correctly takes real skill. Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. I encount…

Some dishes exist to comfort and Spanakopita is absolutely in that category. The cleanly savoury quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. dried oregano does work that no substitute can replicate. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eatin…

Spanakopita opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The bright and lemony flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. Understanding that context made the dish taste diff…

I first ate Spanakopita on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the herbal and aromatic quality I remembered. Greek olive oil was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. Greek cuisine has …

The best Spanakopita I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The cleanly savoury intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. lemon juice was used without hesitation, the way it should be. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. The …

I underestimated Spanakopita. The herbal and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. Kalamata olives brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Gr…

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Spanakopita. I ordered it with cold Fix lager and the rich with olive oil elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. feta cheese in particular became more prominent in a good way. the sharing table or mezethes is central to…
