Just last week, I started telling you about a scrumptious summer menu from Bear Restaurant, but now I'm going to switch gears a bit and talk Greek food. Just the other day, I noticed some seasonal summer menu items at Thymari that caught my interest. What I love about Greek food is that it's really great in the summer and keeps you feeling refreshed and definitely not weighed down. Here are some of the seasonal menu items you can enjoy there this summer:
Fresh grilled wild sardines
Chilled octopus salad
Salad with ouzo-scented sauteed shrimp
Homemade Greek pies, made with flaky phyllo dough, stuffed with feta, grilled chicken, spinach, or leeks
And even though it's not special to summer, I personally really enjoy their kolokythokeftedes, which are zucchini/feta croquettes. Served pipping hot, and crispy on the outside, they're a decadent treat that goes well with a very cool and refreshing tzatziki sauce. The portion is large so make sure you share them with friends.
