REALLY GOOD
1st GOAT CHEESE "LOUKOUMADES" WITH RED BELL PEPPER JAM
ΑΝΕΤΟΝ, Athina
The fluffiest, creamiest, lightest cheese "loukoumades" ever. Goat cheese tanginess perfectly complemented by the jammy sauce. Yummmmm. Might deserve a "10." #appetiser
2nd SAGANAKI
BREAD & SALT, Chalandri
Grilled cheese blend with crispy panko crust and a spicy sweet & sour sauce with orange, ginger & cranberries. Just awesome 🤤 €8,50
4th GRILLED HALLOUMI CHEESE, OYSTER MUSHROOMS & TOMATOES
SECRET GARDEN - MEZEDOPOLEIO - HALANDRI, Chalandri
Nearly perfect. About half of the tomato slices were cut too thick and hadn't caramelised properly — the bits with thinner slices were superb. Yum. €7.50 #appetiser
5th FRIED GRAVIERA
Leúkes, Galatsi
No longer available. Coated in oats and served with mandarin orange marmalade with Mastiha. Excellent! €7.40 #appetiser
6th GOAT CHEESE & CHERRY TOMATO TART
Island Earth, Agia Paraskevi
Served with pesto and tomato sauce. If you're a fan of goat cheese, this is 🤤 €6.60 #appetiser
6th GOAT CHEESE & CHERRY TOMATO TART
Island Earth, Agia Paraskevi
Less fabulous than other times, but still Really Good.
7th BOUYOURDÌ
Kalos Yalos, Porto Rafti
Baked feta with tomato, mildly spicy peppers, olive oil and oregano. They cheated and also added some melty cheese (my guess is Gouda) — very untraditional but a great idea!
PRETTY GOOD
8th GRILLED MASTELLO WITH HOMEMADE LEMON MARMALADE
Fishαλίδες - Φυσαλίδες, Chalandri
The Mastello cheese was delish as always. The lemon marmalade would have been lovely on toast, but I wanted it to be way, way tangier for the Mastello. I drizzled lots of fresh lemon on top and the dish was great that way, but I don't think that's how the chef intended it to be eaten 🤷‍♀️ €7 #appetiser
9th GRILLED TALAGANI CHEESE
Ψάρι-Ψάρι, Agia Paraskevi
With a (watery, but still tasty) tomato jam. €5,60
11th ASSORTED CHEESE PLATTER
Basegrill Athens, Peristeri
This was off-menu and they graciously offered it since it's very much a meat-lover's restaurant and I don't really eat meat. All the cheeses were Greek PDO and very special, but I don't remember what each was. I did wish for better bread/crackers though.
12th TALAGANI CHEESE SOUFFLÉ
Koukounari Restaurant, Cholargos
With egg, smoked paprika, slivered almonds and honey sauce. Closer in texture to a baked cheese than a soufflé. Very tasty. €7.50 #appetiser
13th GRILLED TALAGANI CHEESE
restaurant Akrogiali, Kiparissia
Just what you'd expect. Served with lemon to squeeze over.
14th SAUSAGE – HALOUMI
Juicy Grill Athens, Cholargos
Greek country sausage and halloumi cheese on the grill, with honey-mustard and honey-lemon sauces. Delicious but a bit too meaty for me. €6.50
15th GRAVIERA CHEESE CROQUETTES
Dopios, Athina
With tomato chutney. Neither the croquettes nor the chutney rocked. Not bad, I'm probably just very spoilt. €8
16th SAGANAKI
The brothers, Chalandri
Ari liked it more than I did.
