Savor Greek Delights with Healthy Twists

Tucked away in the bustling heart of London, stepping into this Greek gem feels like teleporting to a vibrant corner of Athens. The atmosphere practically hums with warmth and authenticity, with friendly staff padding around briskly, always ready with a cheery "hello". On my visit, I was eager to sink my teeth into something healthy yet fulfilling, and the plethora of options did not disappoint. Plump for a light salad or something more robust like their immaculately grilled salmon — their menu avowedly caters to gluten-free and nut-free diets, which is a thoughtful touch in today's diverse dietary tapestry. Be prepared to open your wallet quite a bit here, but oh, when the flavours lace your tastebuds, you'll nearly forget the price tag.

I managed to snatch a spot outside on a sunny afternoon, perfect for a leisurely lunch replete with freddo cappuccino. The scene? Lively, akin to a European café minus the airplanes' carbon footprint. The coffee, particularly their take on the aforementioned freddo, sits like an affectionate caress on your palate. Service can be floated under the 'generally prompt' category, though on quieter days, a single forgotten Americano tipped the scales slightly off balance. Yet, such minor hitches are eclipsed by standout team members; take Caroline, whose effervescent spirit could well stir even the most overcast mood. By and large, it's an inviting spot where health-conscious bites fuse with comforting Greek zest, and despite a few prickly bristles, it remains a loyal haven whether you're dashing for a quick bite or lingering over succulent cakes that roundly justify the indulgence. — Milo Tastemaker
