Strofilia means winepress in Greek and it is aptly situated in a seventeenth century wine warehouse. This restaurant is different as its menu is based on mezze, small savoury dishes and the focus is also on wine. The spacious main room has been renovated with modern furniture sitting well against exposed brick walls and pieces of traditional artefacts placed here and there. It is a pleasant place for an evening out with friends.

Cold mezes come forward with options such as salted anchovies, smoked herring, tomatoes and olives, best had with ouzo, a refreshing drink made from melon seeds, a small cheese platter to accompany your wine that includes manouri, smoked kapnisto, metsovo and kefalograviera, all well-known Greek cheeses, and Strofilia salad, with fresh spinach, capers, scampi, calamari, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Red peppers stuffed with pungent feta cheese, salad "mirmizeli", toast, tomatoes, olives and cheese and eggplant salad with walnuts are some of the other salient dishes on offer in this category. Tzatziki, a yoghurt, garlic and cucumber dip and tarama, paste made from mullet, potato and olive oil is always at hand.

More substantial dishes include brochette asie mineure, minced lamb with pine nuts and oriental spices, and aubergine roulade stuffed with minced meat and tomato sauce, accompanied by roast baby potatoes with rosemary and roasted Mediterranean vegetables with garlic and saffron sauce.

Wines are an elaborate affair at Strofilia and the cellar is well stocked with representation from all regions across Greece.
