Hello Hello,

How are you doing?

We recently revisited ๐‘บ๐’Š๐’‚๐’Ž ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’–๐’๐’„๐’‰ ๐’‚๐’• ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’‡๐’‡๐’“๐’๐’ ๐‘น๐’†๐’”๐’•๐’‚๐’–๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’•, located on the 24th floor of Banyan Tree Doha, and it was exactly the kind of Saturday afternoon we needed before heading into another busy week.

With its beautiful Thai-inspired interiors and stunning views overlooking Doha and the Corniche, the setting was already impressive before we even tasted the food. Siam Brunch offers a family-style, sharing-table experience every Saturday from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM, with live food stations and plenty of delicious Thai dishes to enjoy. The brunch is priced at QR 269 including soft drinks, and they also have a BOGO offer, which makes it even better. For additional with drink packages available for an additional QR 110 for the special package or QR 210 for premium drinks.

While waiting for our food to arrive, I couldn't resist exploring the live stations and all those tempting off-menu bites. There were ๐’“๐’Š๐’„๐’† ๐’„๐’“๐’‚๐’„๐’Œ๐’†๐’“๐’” ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’…๐’Š๐’‘๐’‘๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’”๐’‚๐’–๐’„๐’†, ๐’€๐’–๐’Ž ๐‘ต๐’–๐’† (๐’”๐’‘๐’Š๐’„๐’š ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’†๐’‡ ๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’…), ๐’‡๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’‰ ๐’๐’๐’๐’…๐’๐’† ๐’“๐’๐’๐’๐’”, ๐’‚ ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’…๐’†-๐’•๐’-๐’๐’“๐’…๐’†๐’“ ๐’‘๐’‚๐’‘๐’‚๐’š๐’‚ ๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’… ๐’‘๐’“๐’†๐’‘๐’‚๐’“๐’†๐’… ๐’•๐’ ๐’š๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’‘๐’“๐’†๐’‡๐’†๐’“๐’“๐’†๐’… ๐’๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’ ๐’๐’‡ ๐’”๐’‘๐’Š๐’„๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’”๐’”, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‚ ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’‚๐’Š ๐’ƒ๐’“๐’‚๐’Š๐’”๐’†๐’… ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’†๐’‡ ๐’๐’๐’๐’…๐’๐’† ๐’”๐’๐’–๐’‘ that was a fragrant street food classic featuring tender slow-cooked beef in a rich, spiced aromatic broth.

Honestly, everything was so fresh and delicious that I found myself going back again and again. The fresh noodle rolls were one of my favourites, and the papaya salad was perfect for anyone who loves to control their own level of spice.

Letโ€™s Talk About the Appetizers. We started with ๐’€๐’–๐’Ž ๐‘ท๐’†๐’… ๐‘ต๐’‚๐’Ž ๐‘ป๐’๐’Œ, one of my all-time favourites. The thinly sliced duck was beautifully cooked, while the dressing was wonderfully refreshing, packed with fragrant Thai herbs. We also had a deep-fried basket filled with ๐‘ท๐’๐’“ ๐‘ท๐’Š๐’‚ ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’๐’… (Thai spring rolls) and ๐‘ฒ๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’๐’Ž ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘ต๐’‚ ๐‘ฎ๐’๐’๐’๐’ˆ (prawn toasts), followed by ๐‘ฎ๐’‚๐’Š ๐’€๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘ต๐’๐’Ž ๐‘บ๐’๐’…, marinated grilled minced chicken served on skewers.

Each dish brought something different to the table, but they all had that unmistakable balance of Thai flavours that I loveโ€”fresh herbs, fragrant spices and just the right amount of seasoning.

For the main course, we enjoyed a lovely selection of Thai favourites:

๐‘ฎ๐’‚๐’†๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘ฒ๐’‚๐’•๐’Š ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’š ๐‘ฉ๐’‚๐’Š ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’‚ ๐‘ท๐’๐’– โ€“ seafood red curry with betel leaves

๐‘ฎ๐’‚๐’Š ๐‘ท๐’‰๐’‚๐’… ๐‘ด๐’†๐’… ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‚๐’–๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’Ž๐’Ž๐’‚๐’‘๐’‰๐’‚๐’ โ€“ stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts

๐‘ท๐’‰๐’‚๐’… ๐‘ท๐’‰๐’‚๐’Œ ๐‘น๐’–๐’‚๐’Ž โ€“ stir-fried mixed vegetables

๐‘บ๐’†๐’ ๐‘ด๐’†๐’† ๐‘ท๐’‰๐’‚๐’… ๐‘บ๐’†๐’† ๐‘ฌ๐’Š๐’˜ ๐‘ต๐’–๐’† โ€“ stir-fried noodles with beef

When everything arrived at the table, my first reaction was simply, wow! Everything looked incredibly appetising.

My personal favourite was the seafood red curry. I really enjoyed the homemade curry pasteโ€”it was incredibly fragrant, rich and full of flavour without being overwhelming.

To accompany the dishes, we were also offered four different types of rice: jasmine, red, brown and saffron rice. The saffron rice was particularly fitting, of course, as it is one of the signature touches of Saffron Saffron.

By this point, I was officially full, full and FULLโ€ฆ but there was absolutely no way I was leaving without having dessert!

The dessert station looked beautiful, with so many Thai sweets and treats to choose from. Somehow, I always manage to find a little extra space when dessert is involved, so naturally I had to try as many as possible. Hehehe!

My favourite was the freshly made ๐‘ฒ๐’๐’–๐’‚๐’š ๐‘ป๐’๐’… (banana fritters). They were warm, crispy and absolutely delicious.

And then came the highlight: the famous ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’‚๐’Š ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’ ๐’”๐’•๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ๐’š ๐’“๐’Š๐’„๐’† that came on a trolley that made its way around the venue, and the Thai mango was simply amazing. It was sweet, juicy and incredibly fragrant. We were all practically going โ€œwoooooow!โ€ with every bite. For a moment, it honestly felt like dessert heaven.

A big thank you to ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’†๐’‡ ๐‘ท๐’๐’“๐’๐’•๐’Š๐’‘ for preparing such a wonderful meal filled with the vibrant and comforting flavours of Thailand and thank you to the entire team for the warm and attentive service, especially ๐‘ต๐’๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘ด๐‘ฑ who taking care of us so well.

It was such a lovely way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoonโ€”great food, beautiful surroundings, plenty of Thai flavours and, most importantly, good company.

Hello hello,

How are you doing?

We were absolutely thrilled to receive an invitation to revisit ๐‘ช๐’๐’š๐’‚ ๐’‚๐’• ๐‘พ ๐‘ซ๐’๐’‰๐’‚, where Peruvian cuisine, art, and music come together to create an unforgettable dining experience.

โ€œ๐‘ช๐’๐’š๐’‚ ๐‘ฝ๐’‚๐’Ž๐’๐’” ๐’…๐’† ๐‘ญ๐’Š๐’†๐’”๐’•๐’‚โ€ is the perfect name for this brunch. In Spanish, it means โ€œ๐’˜๐’†โ€™๐’“๐’† ๐’ˆ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‘๐’‚๐’“๐’•๐’š๐’Š๐’๐’ˆโ€, and that is exactly the feeling you get from the moment you arrive. It is a high-energy Friday brunch filled with vibrant flavours, great music, and plenty of festive spirit.

I was especially touched by the thoughtful welcome from the Coya team. They created a special โ€œ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ฏ๐’–๐’๐’ˆ๐’“๐’š ๐‘ฒ๐’‚๐’•๐’† ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’›๐’Š๐’๐’† โ€“ ๐‘ช๐’๐’š๐’‚ ๐‘ฌ๐’…๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’โ€ for my table, which made me feel incredibly special. Such a beautiful and personal touchโ€”thank you so much, Coya team! Iโ€™m truly grateful.

The brunch takes place every Friday from 12:00 PM to 4 PM, with packages starting at QR 200 for soft sips and QR 299 for enhanced sips.

The experience is served family-style at the table, with a four-course sharing menu. And yes, you can reorder your favourite dishes depending on availabilityโ€”which is always a bonus when everything tastes this good!

We started with an impressive selection of cold bites.

๐‘ฎ๐’–๐’‚๐’„๐’‚๐’Ž๐’๐’๐’† was rich, creamy, and full of flavour, with a lovely kick of lime and chilli. It was freshly mixed right at the table, and honestly, I would say this is one of the best guacamoles Iโ€™ve had in Doha.

The ๐‘ป๐’–๐’๐’‚ ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’•๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š, inspired by Japanese cuisine, featured sushi-grade tuna with yuzu ponzu. Fresh, savoury, delicate, and wonderfully bright.

The ๐‘ช๐’๐’‚๐’”๐’”๐’Š๐’„ ๐‘ช๐’†๐’—๐’Š๐’„๐’‰๐’† delivered exactly what you want from a good cevicheโ€”a sharp, refreshing citrus punch from fresh lime juice.

We also enjoyed two types of maki, ๐‘ญ๐’–๐’•๐’๐’Ž๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ท๐’“๐’‚๐’˜๐’ ๐‘ป๐’†๐’Ž๐’‘๐’–๐’“๐’‚ ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š, both beautifully prepared, followed by ๐‘ท๐’“๐’‚๐’˜๐’ ๐‘ช๐’“๐’๐’’๐’–๐’†๐’•๐’•๐’†๐’” with a crispy breadcrumb exterior and a soft, creamy prawn filling. A lovely combination of textures.

The hot appetizers followed soon after, keeping the feast going.

The ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’‚๐’Š ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’†๐’‡ ๐‘บ๐’‘๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐‘น๐’๐’๐’๐’” were crispy and deep-fried, filled with flavourful pulled short rib. Then the ๐‘ฉ๐‘ฉ๐‘ธ ๐‘บ๐’’๐’–๐’Š๐’… ๐‘บ๐’Œ๐’†๐’˜๐’†๐’“ featured tender pieces of squid marinated in bold, smoky Andean spices and quickly charred over high heat. Tender, smoky, and packed with flavour. And ๐‘ช๐’๐’“๐’ ๐‘ฌ๐’Ž๐’‘๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’…๐’‚๐’”, a popular Latin American pastry with a savoury corn filling tucked inside a golden, crispy shell.

Now, letโ€™s turn up the drumbeat for the mains!

The standout for me was the ๐‘บ๐’‘๐’Š๐’„๐’š ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’†๐’‡ ๐‘ป๐’†๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“๐’๐’๐’Š๐’, beautifully presented on a Japanese grill. The beef was incredibly soft and tender, with a delicious depth of flavour.

Next was the ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’๐’†๐’… ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ท๐’“๐’‚๐’˜๐’, a wonderful fusion of smoky, charred prawns with a creamy and tangy mayonnaise. It delivered a fantastic umami punch.

The final main was the ๐‘ด๐’–๐’”๐’‰๐’“๐’๐’๐’Ž ๐‘น๐’Š๐’”๐’๐’•๐’•๐’, an Italian-inspired dish of creamy rice slowly cooked with warm broth and savoury mushrooms. Rich, earthy, and comforting.

And just when you think you couldnโ€™t eat another bite, here comes the giant dessert platter! It was loaded with indulgent treats, including a rich and creamy ๐‘ป๐’“๐’†๐’” ๐‘ณ๐’†๐’„๐’‰๐’†๐’” ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†, long ridged ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’–๐’“๐’“๐’๐’” that were crispy outside and soft inside, served with chocolate sauce, a creamy ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’†๐’†๐’”๐’†๐’„๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†, and my personal favouriteโ€”a ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’”๐’”๐’Š๐’๐’๐’‡๐’“๐’–๐’Š๐’•-๐‘ด๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’ ๐‘บ๐’๐’“๐’ƒ๐’†๐’• that was sweet, tropical, refreshing, and intensely fruity.

The food selection was fantastic, and the drinks complemented the experience perfectly. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with bold flavours.

For the overall experience, I would say the price is very reasonable, especially considering the quality and variety of food, drinks, entertainment, and atmosphere that come with the brunch.

The service was also excellentโ€”professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. A special thank you to ๐‘บ๐’Š๐’”๐’Œ๐’‚, who kept checking on us to make sure everything was perfect. That level of personal attention really made a difference.

The music and vibes were fantastic, with the live DJ and drummer bringing the Friday mood to another level. It genuinely felt like a celebration from beginning to end.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Coya. If youโ€™re looking for a Friday brunch that combines Peruvian-inspired cuisine, bold flavours, beautiful presentation, cocktails, music, and a seriously fun atmosphere, this is one to put on your Doha list.

100% worth checking out!

โœจ Weekend brunch, but make it Peruvian! โœจ

Recently, we visited La Mar at InterContinental Doha Beach & Spa to try their Almuerzos La Mar Friday Brunch, happening every Friday from 12:30โ€“4:00 PM.

From the vibrant Cebiche Carretillero and Salmon Tiradito to crispy Chicharrรณn de Calamar, Pollo a la Brasa, grilled ribeye, and of courseโ€ฆ a giant tray of desserts! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฐ

Everything was beautifully presented and packed with flavour. My personal favourite? The Tres Leches Cake โ€” creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweet! ๐ŸคŽ

The service was wonderful, and a big thank you to Chalos for taking such great care of us. โค๏ธ

The summer vibe is a little more relaxed, but I can imagine the brunch being even more fun once the Cuban band is back! ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Hello hello,

How are you doing?

Whatโ€™s a better way to enjoy the weekend than with a delicious brunch, good food, and great company?

Recently, we headed to ๐‘ณ๐’‚ ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’“ ๐’‚๐’• ๐‘ฐ๐’๐’•๐’†๐’“๐‘ช๐’๐’๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’๐’•๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ซ๐’๐’‰๐’‚ ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’‚๐’„๐’‰ & ๐‘บ๐’‘๐’‚ to experience their โ€œ๐‘จ๐’๐’Ž๐’–๐’†๐’“๐’›๐’๐’” ๐‘ณ๐’‚ ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’“ ๐‘ญ๐’“๐’Š๐’…๐’‚๐’š ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’–๐’๐’„๐’‰โ€, held every Friday from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM.

For brunch, the restaurant offers table-sharing , taking guests on a culinary journey through Peruโ€™s incredible cultural diversity, with influences from Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, and Andean cuisines. There is a three-course set menu featuring an impressive variety of flavours and beautifully presented dishes. There are two beverage package options: QR 310 for the Soft Package and QR 450 for the Enhanced Beverage Package.

We started with a selection of cold starters, and there were already so many interesting flavours to explore.

๐‘ช๐’†๐’ƒ๐’Š๐’„๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’“๐’“๐’†๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’๐’†๐’“๐’ is a popular Peruvian ceviche featuring raw fish and shrimp tossed in a bold leche de tigre, accompanied by sweet potato and giant Andean corn. It was intensely citrusy, sharp, and slightly spicy, with a deep savoury richness that brought everything together beautifully.

Next was the ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’Ž๐’๐’ ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’“๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’•๐’, a wonderful Peruvian-Japanese fusion dish. Thin slices of sashimi-grade salmon were dressed with a spicy, citrus-based sauce. The salmon was buttery and delicate, while the sauce added a bright, zesty, and slightly spicy kick. I really enjoyed the combination.

And then there was the ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’–๐’”๐’‚ ๐‘ช๐’๐’„๐’Œ๐’•๐’‚๐’Š๐’, a beautiful take on the famous Peruvian cold potato dish. Made with spiced mashed yellow potatoes, lime, and ajรญ amarillo, it was layered with shrimp and looked almost too pretty to eat!

Moving on to the hot starters, we had ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’Š๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’“๐’ฬ๐’ ๐’…๐’† ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‚๐’“ โ€” crispy squid rings marinated with lime and spices, deep-fried until golden and crunchy. It came with fried yuca and tartar sauce.

Honestly, there wasn't much left to say because I was too busy finishing the whole plate by myself! Hehehe. The batter was wonderfully light and crispy, and the squid remained tender inside.

We also had the ๐‘ช๐’“๐’Š๐’”๐’‘๐’š ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ๐’†๐’ ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’…๐’˜๐’Š๐’„๐’‰, served as mini fried chicken sliders โ€” the perfect little bites to keep us going before the mains.

For the main course, there were two highlights: ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’๐’†๐’… ๐‘น๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’†๐’š๐’† ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’†๐’‡ ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐‘ต๐’Š๐’Œ๐’Œ๐’†๐’Š ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’–๐’„๐’† and Pollo a la Brasa.

๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ท๐’๐’๐’๐’ ๐’‚ ๐’๐’‚ ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’‚๐’”๐’‚ is a famous Peruvian rotisserie chicken dish. It is traditionally slow-roasted over charcoal and served with chimichurri sauce. The chicken was wonderfully flavourful. The mains were accompanied by ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’‚๐’–๐’‡๐’‚ ๐‘ฝ๐’†๐’ˆ๐’ˆ๐’Š๐’†, ๐’‚ ๐’—๐’†๐’ˆ๐’†๐’•๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’๐’† ๐’‡๐’“๐’Š๐’†๐’… ๐’“๐’Š๐’„๐’†, ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’‘๐’Š๐’•๐’‚๐’”, ๐’„๐’“๐’Š๐’”๐’‘๐’š ๐’‘๐’๐’•๐’‚๐’•๐’๐’†๐’”, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‚ ๐’‡๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’‰ ๐’ˆ๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’ ๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’….

And of course, we cannot forget dessert โ€” especially for a sweet tooth like me!

Dessert arrived on a giant tray filled with colourful treats, which was honestly such a fun way to finish the meal. There was ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’๐’„๐’๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’† ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’“๐’‡๐’‚๐’Š๐’•, a rich and indulgent layered dessert with a deep cocoa flavour. It was smooth, creamy, and satisfyingly chocolatey.

The ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’Š๐’„๐’‚๐’๐’ ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’‚ came as a popsicle featuring two refreshing flavours โ€” coconut and passion fruit. It was a lovely contrast to the richer desserts. Then came the ๐‘ป๐’“๐’†๐’” ๐‘ณ๐’†๐’„๐’‰๐’†๐’” ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’Œ๐’†, a light sponge cake soaked in a sweet mixture of three milks. It was soft, creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet โ€” exactly the kind of dessert I love. There were also ๐’”๐’†๐’‚๐’”๐’๐’๐’‚๐’ ๐’‡๐’“๐’–๐’Š๐’•๐’” for a refreshing finish.

Overall, I really enjoyed ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐‘จ๐’๐’Ž๐’–๐’†๐’“๐’›๐’๐’” ๐‘ณ๐’‚ ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’“ ๐‘ญ๐’“๐’Š๐’…๐’‚๐’š ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’–๐’๐’„๐’‰. The food was delicious, the quality was excellent, and I loved the beautiful presentation of each dish. There was such a great variety of flavours, and it was lovely to experience so many different sides of Peruvian cuisine in one meal.

Because it is currently summer season, the usual lively atmosphere is a little more relaxed. But I can imagine this brunch being even more spectacular once the Cuban band is back in the house and the restaurant is filled with live music and that vibrant weekend energy.

The service was also exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. A special thank you to ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’๐’” for taking such good care of us throughout the afternoon.

If youโ€™re looking for a weekend brunch that offers something a little different, with vibrant Peruvian flavours, generous sharing-style dishes, and plenty of desserts to finish, La Marโ€™s Friday brunch is definitely worth checking out.

We had a lovely Friday evening at Yia Mas Friday Supper at Zorba, The St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island.

The family-style sharing concept is perfect if you want to try a little bit of everything. From fresh Greek dips and colourful salads to comforting mains like Pastitsio, Souvlaki, and Beef Kritharaki, every dish was packed with flavour. We finished with three desserts, and the Greek yogurt ice cream with honey was definitely my favourite! ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿจ

The portions are very generous, the staff are friendly and happy to explain each dish, and the marina views at sunset make the experience even better.

We recently tried the ๐’€๐’Š๐’‚ ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’” ๐‘ญ๐’“๐’Š๐’…๐’‚๐’š ๐‘บ๐’–๐’‘๐’‘๐’†๐’“ ๐’‚๐’• ๐’๐’๐’“๐’ƒ๐’‚ ๐’Š๐’ ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘บ๐’•. ๐‘น๐’†๐’ˆ๐’Š๐’” ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’“๐’”๐’‚ ๐‘จ๐’“๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’Š๐’‚ ๐‘ฐ๐’”๐’๐’‚๐’๐’…, and it was a really nice way to start the weekend. The restaurant has a beautiful location in the heart of The Pearl, overlooking the marina, so it's a great place to enjoy the sunset while having dinner.

The Friday Supper is available from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM and is served family-style, which I really liked because everyone gets to try a bit of everything. It costs QR360 with a soft beverage package or QR540 with an enhanced beverage package, and they also have a BOGO offer, which makes it even better value.

We started with ๐’‡๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’Œ ๐’…๐’Š๐’‘๐’”: ๐‘ป๐’›๐’‚๐’•๐’›๐’Š๐’Œ๐’Š, ๐‘ป๐’Š๐’“๐’๐’Œ๐’‚๐’‡๐’•๐’†๐’“๐’Š, ๐‘ญ๐’‚๐’—๐’‚ ๐‘ซ๐’Š๐’‘, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’“๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‚๐’”๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’‚, served with sourdough and warm Greek pita bread. All of them tasted fresh, with nice flavours from the herbs, lemon, and garlic. It was a great way to start the meal.

For the salads, we had the ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’Š ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’…, ๐‘บ๐’‘๐’Š๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’‰ ๐‘ท๐’Š๐’† ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’…, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฏ๐’๐’“๐’Š๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’Œ๐’Š ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’…. They were all fresh and colourful, and I especially liked the Horiatiki with the big piece of feta on top.

The hot starters included ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’‘๐’๐’–๐’•๐’”๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š, which was a baked eggplant with a rich filling and creamy bรฉchamel sauce, ๐‘บ๐’‘๐’Š๐’„๐’š ๐‘ญ๐’†๐’•๐’‚, and ๐’„๐’“๐’Š๐’”๐’‘๐’š ๐’‡๐’“๐’Š๐’†๐’… ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’‚๐’“๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š๐’‚ (fried squid). Everything was tasty, and by this point we were already starting to feel full.

Then came the main courses. We had ๐‘ท๐’‚๐’”๐’•๐’Š๐’•๐’”๐’Š๐’, which is like the Greek version of lasagna, ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’Š๐’„๐’Œ๐’†๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ท๐’“๐’‚๐’˜๐’ ๐‘บ๐’๐’–๐’—๐’๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š, and since we don't eat lamb, the restaurant kindly replaced the lamb leg with ๐‘ฉ๐’†๐’†๐’‡ ๐‘ฒ๐’“๐’Š๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š. The beef was tender, and the tomato and orzo combination was really comforting and full of flavour.

Even though we were already full, dessert was still coming! We had ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’Œ ๐‘ฉ๐’๐’–๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’•๐’”๐’‚, a rich and creamy ๐‘ช๐’‰๐’๐’„๐’๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’† ๐‘ท๐’Š๐’†, ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฎ๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’Œ ๐’š๐’๐’ˆ๐’–๐’“๐’• ๐’Š๐’„๐’† ๐’„๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’Ž ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’‰๐’๐’๐’†๐’š. The yogurt ice cream was definitely my favouriteโ€”it was creamy, refreshing, and so good.

Overall, the food was good quality, and there was plenty of it. I really like the family-sharing concept because it lets you taste lots of different dishes instead of choosing just one. The only thing I would suggest is making the portions a little smaller, as there was more food than we could finish, and it would help reduce food waste.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to explain each dish since we weren't very familiar with Greek food. They made us feel welcome throughout the meal.

Overall, it was a lovely dining experience with good food, beautiful marina views, and great service. If you enjoy sharing dishes with family or friends and want to try a variety of Greek flavours, this is definitely worth checking out.
