Best Restaurants In London Bringing The Essence Of Greece
Londoners used to find it difficult to locate good restaurants that specialized in offering Greek cuisine. However, this is a thing of the past now as plenty of people from Greece have entered London because of the economic crisis in their countries. Along with their customs and traditions, they have bought the food and the amazing Greek recipes with them, which is sure to mesmerize any food lover. Some of the best restaurants in London that are striving hard to being the essence of Greece right into the city are included here.
The Greek Larder
The Greek Larder is the dream creation of Theodore Kyriakou, the person who is bent upon providing the Londoners with the authentic Greek experience. The mundane King Cross area in London is brought back to life with this restaurant, where a number of people are always teeming with excitement and joy, and sharing their experiences, while having the best Greek food in London.
There are a number of marvellous dishes being offered at the restaurant. The breakfast includes the popular Kollyva, which is a granola in Greece, and is prepared with honey, yoghurt, preserved mint and apricot, and pistachios, and is accompanied with cheese. Theodore shares his experience of how amazing people feel after tasting Kollyva, an authentic Greek dish. The efforts of the owner improve the experiences of the people since they are able to get the freshly prepared food, and taste the ingredients that are imported directly from Greece. Not only the economy of London benefits from the import, but the people of London too get to taste the original products.
Then, there is Souvlaki that is inarguably the best in London. It is prepared with seasonal ingredients as it could be seen containing rich tomato sauce in winter, while, fresh tomatoes would be used in the summers.
The Life Goddess
The Life Goddess came up because of the efforts of the brother duo who were too ‘frustrated’ to find the existence of Italian and French delis all over the London. So, this motivated them to carve a niche for themselves when it comes to providing original Greek food to the Londoners. So, it started as a deli in Bloomsbury, but soon, the success of the deli allowed the owners to open a restaurant in Soho.
The ingredients like vegetables, meat, cheese, etc. are imported from Greek. The typical lunch menu would have stuffed aubergines. Moreover, the restaurant at Soho also offers a number of traditional Greek dishes, and a wide variety of cocktails to its customers.
Hungry Donkey
The focus of the owners of the restaurant is to provide the street to its customers. Cornwall and Devon are the places from where the meat is imported. Again, the purpose of opening the restaurant according to the owner Markos Tsimikalis was to bring Greek essence to the Londoners.
The Souvlaki
The Souvlaki is a famous street food spot offering the best of the Souvlakis.
So, all these endeavours of the Greeks living in London are now paying them rich dividends, along with providing the chance to the Londoners, to enjoy another variety of cuisine.
