WHERE
TO EAT
Eating
out in Greece is a national pastime and a leisurely pleasure.
Whether dining at a local taverna or an elegant restaurant,
Greeks take their time over food. The native cuisine is
delightfully uncomplicated and quite different from what's
found in Greek restaurants abroad. Much of the cooking relies
on simple seasonings and fresh meat and vegetables.
It's common for Greeks to make a lunch of mezedes,
or hors d'oeuvres. Typical dishes include fried meatballs,
squash balls, octopus, shrimp, squid, cheese, olives, stuffed
vine leaves, tzatziki (garlicky yogurt and cucumbers), eggplant
dip, small sausages and giant beans. You can find mezedes
at an ouzeri (serving ouzo, an anise-flavored liqueur) or
at a mezedopolio (serving locally produced wine or beer);
both of these types of restaurants are open only during
the day. For the evening meal, Greek tavernas serve such
specialties as moussaka (lamb, eggplant and bechamel sauce),
kabobs, pastitsio (lamb or goat meat with macaroni and tomatoes),
stifado (braised beef with onions) and paidakia (grilled
lamb or goat chops).
The cost of dinner for one, not including drinks,
start 2 Euro.
A lot of restaurants, Greek Tavernas, ouzeri,
you will find in all tourist areas of Zakynthos.
