- Eating out in Greece is a national pastime and a
leisurely pleasure. Whether dining at a local taverna or an elegant restaurant, Greeks
take their time over food. The native cuisine is delightfully uncomplicated and quite
different from what's found in Greek restaurants abroad. Much of the cooking relies on
simple seasonings and fresh meat and vegetable .
Typical dishes include fried meatballs, squash
balls, octopus, shrimp, squid, olives,cheese , stuffed vine leaves, tzatziki (garlicky
yogurt and cucumbers), giant beans,eggplant dip and small sausages .
You can find mezedes at an ouzeri (serving ouzo) or at a mezedopolio (serving locally
produced wine or beer); both of these types of restaurants are open only during the day.

specialties as stifado (braised beef with onions), moussaka (lamb, eggplant and bechamel
sauce), kabobs, pastitsio (lamb or goat meat with macaroni and tomatoes) and paidakia
(grilled lamb or goat chops).
