Greek cuisine is a celebration of life, a fusion of fresh flavors, high-quality ingredients, and traditions that have been cherished for centuries. At Ilios Greek Estiatorio, we take you on a culinary journey through the most authentic Greek dishes while inviting you to experience the country’s most iconic dining customs, including the exhilarating tradition of Plate Smashing.
The Philosophy of Greek Dining
Dining in Greece is not just about eating—it’s a ritual of togetherness. Meals are shared with family and friends, enjoyed leisurely, and always accompanied by good wine, lively music, and an inviting atmosphere. At Ilios, we honor this tradition with a menu that pays homage to the Mediterranean’s most representative flavors.
Traditional Dishes You Can’t Miss
Lamb Chops
Lamb is a staple of Greek cuisine. Our Lamb Chops are seasoned with Mediterranean herbs and grilled to perfection, offering a deeply flavorful and juicy taste of Greece.
Roasted Octopus
A true Hellenic delicacy, our grilled octopus is marinated in olive oil, lemon, and aromatic spices, bringing the essence of the Aegean Sea straight to your table.
Baklava
No Greek feast is complete without Baklava, a delectable dessert made with layers of flaky phyllo dough, crushed nuts, and Greek honey. Its perfect balance of crispiness and sweetness makes it an irresistible treat.
Plate Smashing: A Greek Tradition That Celebrates Life
One of the most exhilarating Greek customs is Plate Smashing, where diners break plates as a symbol of joy and good fortune. At Ilios, we bring this authentic experience to life, turning every dinner into a true Greek celebration.
“Opa!”—the enthusiastic cheer that accompanies the sound of breaking plates—embodies the joy, passion, and energy of Greek culture.
