The Real Greek - Hoxton

Greek food as it should be, and as it so often isn’t. Offering lots of small dishes, ideal for ordering en mass and sharing. You won’t be disappointed here. The kind of place you could take your visiting holiday romance to remind them of the old country.

Unbelievably delicious and innovative Greek food is served here, including gouvarlakia (meat dumplings) or pot-roasted pork with pickled flat cabbage. A real delight is the smaller mixed mezedes dishes from octopus casserole to rocket, leek, caper and filo pie. You can try out the cuisine tapas-style in the more casual Mezedopolio café attached.

This traditional Greek restaurant is perfect for a light bite while out trawling through the shops of Islington. Serving only meze, there is also a nice array of drinks to compliment the greek bread and dips.
