Greek Recipes - what goes with dolmades?
When I make dolmades at home I serve them as a main dish.....On the table there is always a plate with Feta cheese and olives. We have a serving of protein and it can be, pork chops, lemon chicken, kalamarakia and a salad...
Anyone going to Greece??
I would love to hear about the food you enjoyed and where.
Did you experiment or did you go for the popular greek recipes?

Loutraki
A few good recomendations on Loutraki.I was there on April and had a fabulous time.
For modern Greek food with deligtful flavors Rigani,very close to the Cazino,Papanikolaou 5 Loutraki 2744066744 2744021044
My other choise is Gianis by the water in the heart of Loutraki,I love the shrimp saganaki,the fish plater ,a wonderful melange of fried small fish,octapus,kalamari......
The bread in that place is amazing heavy home made bread!!!!!!!!!
and Maestrali a very popular place with the locals for meat and fish.
All of them are very popular with the locals and very very busy.
Have a good time .

Restaurant Recommendations Please
For a tottaly diferent experience try Trninty Greek but very interesting.
I had lamb and my husband pork very delicious but too much,they sell by the pound like they do in Greece.
The fish looked inviting that's what Iam going to have next time.
The restaurant reminds you of A Greek monastery, with the curves and the Greek architecture,the colors of the Greek islands and the icons on the walls it really takes you there.
I think it is something to experience in Montreal,reservations a must,very big place in the heart of the city but very popular.
Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes "must not miss"
Peter I agree with you 100 % Kioupia in Rhodes is an amazing experience.
I realy forgot about this place or I was thinking more in terms of the city, it is a little out of the way,actually you have to know about the place and ask,otherwise no way to find it on your own.
I loved everything about Kioupia the food beyond compare,the setting of the restaurant very romantic,a cave like experience and the service so calm and relaxing,!!!!!!!!
I beleive there was another in Athens in Kifisia i looked for it in Apil but they had moved I wish I new were.
Cuts of Beef in Greek
Yes psaronefri is pork tenderloin but never order it in a restaurant in Greece,you never get tenderloin,you get another cut of pork but not tenderloin.
I love tenderloin and i use it very often with my guests,and there are many ways to cook it but in Greece i find it can loose it's tenderness in the wrong hands.www.hummingbirdpublications.com
Greek stuffed grape leaves
Sophia's Greek Pantry is a little treasure for authentic Greek products in Boston
byt it is not a restaurant.The lady that runs the place is an amazing woman and she can help you to find what you are looking for.
Her probucts are really fresh and the real thing.www.hummingbirdpublications.com
Roast Chicken on Bed of Potatoes (I saw Ina do it) - Help!
I love chicken this way-for a variaton I use lots of garlic,salt+ pepper,lemon juice,olive oil and mustard for my potatoes.
Blend all ingredients together and pour over potatoes'
Allways cook the bird coverd.,for best results grill on low for a few minutes then cover and cook.
Amazing results and so easy.www.hummingbirdpublications..com
First time in Athens! Looking for some fun restaurant ideas
Greece is a culinary paradiso`
Psiris area not very far from Plaka is very popular with the Greek yuppies.
Tavernas with live music and the food is great,if the locals are part of the picture you know the food is good.
In Kolonaki a very trendy area a place called Dakos offers Cretan cuisine also very good.
Just remember if the locals like a place you can't go wromg,not in Greece anyway.

Vegetarian Travel to Greece
You don't have to worry at all,cooking in Greece is seasonal and June is a wonderfull month to visit Greece,spanakorizo or spinach with rice ,green beans in tomato sauce ,spanakopita,and so many other vegetables cooked in the liquid gold of the Mediterranean,olive oil.Just think you are in the Mediterranean and people there eat more veggies than enything else.wwwhummingbirdpublications.com
Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes "must not miss"
I love Rhodes and i visit very often,in the old city you have to walk around and ask for Alexis the perfect place for fish very well known and very popular with the locals,pricy but very good.Try to avoid the tourist traps.

ISO great good food in Downtown Montreal during President's cup weekend
I recommend Milos on Park Avenue for excellent fish reservations a must expensive but worth every penny. Mythos is also very good for traditional Greek food.
