Hi Makis Just a quick note to say how much K and I enjoyed our meal last night. It was delicious. 

It could only have been improved by a gently lapping sea and a warm breeze as the sun set over the ocean.

Thank you. We both highly recommend your food and hope that the new enterprise is a success. We will be back.

MAIN

BEEF STIFADO (served with pilaph) £8.00

Gluten Free 

For thousands of years Greece and the especially the Seven Islands in the Ionian Sea has been a crossroads for both people and cultures. The civilization, customs and food of this region developed by combining new ideas with existing ones – in culture, language and philosophy.
And so a thread links ancient Greek cooking (which used wine vinegar and lots of fruit and vegetables to create sweet and sour combinations), through the Romans, the Franks, the Catalans , the Venetians and the British to today’s modern Greek cooking. This creative process worked to create the Greek “stifado”. The name comes from the word “suffocate” or “suffusion” which came to us from the Venetians. This dish is “suffocated” by being cooked in a pot with the lid tightly shut. The shallots, which are characteristic of this dish, are slowly caramelized over a low heat without losing their shape or firmness. The beef cooks to a delicious tenderness without losing any of its flavour. “Stifado” must be eaten soon after cooking because the flavours are lost if the food is kept for any length of time. This whole cooking process means that our “stifado” is one of my most successful and popular dishes. Try it and see.
