"Myddleton Road is the last distinctly Greek pocket in Wood Green. But some things never change. For decades, the blue Vrisakis sign has been inviting hungry Greeks and non-Greeks alike to experience the city’s most famous souvlaki. Photographs of nineties and early-noughties celebrities fight for space on the wall, from when the restaurant was once a trendy, secret gem. It’s no longer much of a secret, but it’s still a gem. As well as the grill, it does a respectable mezze offering, known for gargantuan portions, and everything from the food decor reflects the character of a classic London-Greek establishment. But: the souvlaki is not the move here. Instead go for the doner kebab, which is made daily on the premises and filled with freshly chopped onion and parsley, a new addition to late-night memories of the slowly rotating elephant’s foot." - Chris Cotonou
