3rd TIRAMISU
ALIO, Χαλάνδρι
It is with good reason that they call it their "signature" dessert. €11
4th MELBA AUX FRUITS ROUGES
VERi TABLE, Neo Psichiko
This was my favourite of three desserts we tried. Then again, I'm probably biased towards berry-based anything.
5th LIME TART
Ancho Mexican Grill, Chalandri
Fabulous way to end any meal — I always get extra ones for home!
6th COMPLIMENTARY DESSERT
Travolta Athens, Peristeri
This is perfect for a post-seafood meal — exactly the right balance of acid, fat and sweet to cleanse your palate and make the meal feel complete. Don't bother with any of their other desserts 🤫 this is the best! Sorry Travolta 😅 Masticha liqueur in the other 2 shot glasses. #digestif
7th CHOCOLATE ORGASM
Chefi The Restaurant, Chalandri
Chocolate mousse & ganache with ice cream. €8.50
8th RICE PUDDING
Dopios, Athina
With tapioca pearls, strawberries and rose essence. I'm not a fan of rose flavour, but this was great anyway. €6
9th CRÈME CARAMELÉE
VERi TABLE, Neo Psichiko
I'm going with "really good" because my two dinnermates were raving, even though I thought it was a perfectly good but not memorable crème caramelée.
10th ÎLE FLOTTANTE
VERi TABLE, Neo Psichiko
Again, I thought it was a perfectly good but not particularly memorable île flottante, but both my dinnermates thought it was incredible.
PRETTY GOOD
11th SPRING ROLL BANANA
KiBi Sushi Bar, Agia Paraskevi
Banana chunks fried in spring roll wrappers with Nutella, chocolate syrup and caramel bits. Too sweet but I licked (figuratively! lol) the plate clean and will very happily order it again 🙈 €4 but #onthehouse this time
12th COMPLIMENTARY DESSERT
scala vinoteca, Athina
Chocolate-passionfruit truffles and a creamy, jammy thing on a rice crisp. I think I'm not a big fan of combining chocolate with passion fruit 🤔 But hey, free dessert!
13th PROFITEROLES
Tzitzikas & Mermigas Chalandri, Chalandri
With ice cream filling. An enjoyable end to a lovely meal.
14th DESSERT SAMPLER
Μπαρμπουνάκι Χαλάνδρι, Chalandri
Semolina halva with cocoa, panna cotta with caramel sauce, chocolate log, and traditional semolina halva. They were all really good. I think my favourite was the log (it's a semi-traditional, very humble Greek dessert made from cocoa powder, butter and petit beurre cookies). #onthehouse, which is always a bonus 🎉
15th CHEESECAKE
Yi, Glifada
I asked for their least sweet dessert and they delivered. It would have been delicious but for the turmeric, which was a tad too distinctive. I still enjoyed this, though, and it was amazing for a #raw #vegan #glutenfree dessert.
16th CHOCO PIE
Jinjuu Soho, London
Chocolate cake sandwich with passionfruit marshmallow, orange & passionfruit jelly, with vanilla ice cream, hazelnut praline, milk chocolate & ginger ganache. Very good, just not as mind-blowing as it sounds. £7
17th COMPLIMENTARY DESSERT
Panormítēs, Agios Panteleimon
Sure, it's just store-bought ice lollies and some masticha liqueur, but it was the perfect finish to a lovely meal. Great prices and excellent family-style service. Will definitely return.
19th PORTOKALÓPITA
Ψάρι-Ψάρι, Agia Paraskevi
Tasty and always a great ending to seafood, but not my favourite iteration of portokalópita. #onthehouse though so I'm not complaining!
JUST OK
20th CHOCOLATE PIE
Koukounari Restaurant, Cholargos
Rich and creamy and crunchy, but too sweet for me. €5.90
