Best Meze in Arillas?
« on: May 11, 2016, 01:14:20 PM »
Its hard to believe but in 18 years we have never yet had a meze.  I have no idea why this is but aim to put this right in July.  Where can you all recommend? Not fish eaters unfortunately so would want a nice meaty/veg selection

The best one I have ever had was at Brouklis. I can't remember if it included any fish but if so I think it would have only been some whitebait and you can always ask them to leave that out and include extra of something else instead.

Yer know, Guys , sometimes the best meze is one that you do not expect to have.

Catch Tavernas at the right time and you may find a little meze that coincides with the family eating.

I have been lucky at , Armourada (Sardines/taramasolata/chips) - Kostas on the beach (A little Octopus) - Night Owl (Asstd tit bits) and Zorbas with their selection of goodies . - Brouklis feed me an extra Ouzo which is equally acceptable and we will be there "Avrio to Vrahi" with Viv n Pete ( I think)

Cheers

We sometimes have Portofino's meze for lunch. It has been really nice - just right for two to share. Cheese pies, giant bean salad tzatziki and other bits and pieces. Can't wait to get back to Arillas in July!

We have been served lovely meze in several places, starting with Brouklis.
But what´s in a name? You can easily assemble you own meze mix from the starters on the menu.
This might be the best solution for those who have to skip the sea food, including that star of all meze, taramasalata.

We've had lovely meze in Efi's, Thalassa, Grazella, Kymata and Porto Timoni but not as a set price meal but as Emerald says, created by a selection of starters. i think the only place we've seen a set meze menu is in Cardiff.

Yeah we sometimes make up  our  own  mezze. We each order something and share. Loved it when we did this at Romeo's in Pagi. I can't wait to go back there in a few weeks.  The homemade Retsina was something else..............

 Graziellas, Vinceramos and Portfofino are the places that I've sampled the Meze. Particularly enjoyed the Portfino lunchtime Meze though.
