Aegean Taverna, The

There cannot be many authentic Greek tavernas in the Cardiff areas, indeed few in the whole of Wales; however at the Aegean Taverna, with the intoxicating sound of the bouzouki in the background, you can almost imagine yourselves in a taverna in Santorini, with the view of the sun setting on the horizon of the Aegean Sea.

Meze is perhaps the most famous feature of the Greek cuisine. The meze is a tidbit of food, a small serving of something delicious to accompany a glass of ouzo or a cool glass of retsina, while you sit back and relax.

If you are one of those people who finds difficult to order one thing from the menu, then the meze is the answer to your dreams. You can create your own meze table by choosing your favourite selection from their meze menu and then sit back and enjoy the myriad of dishes flow from the kitchen until you could not possibly take anymore. Well maybe just a small baklava and a Greek coffee.
