Fab (but spendy) Greek food in Paris. Here's a perfect example of why Paris is such an international city. There are so many non-French restaurants to choose, we landed here based on the recommendation of a friend.
Americans, some of us like to eat just a little early. So when we arrived at 6:45 (that's early?), the restaurant hadn't yet opened. They were busy setting tables and getting ready, so they let us stand outside in the rain while we waited. Good times. I was sorely tempted to find another restaurant nearby as this one apparently didn't want the business.
Eventually, we were seated and didn't realize until the place started to get a little busy that the table was the nearest to the loo ("bathroom" in American). Yep, back on the left are five steep steps leading to a door. So most of the night I got to worry whether or not someone was going to fall and land on top of me. Not very ADA-compliant, eh?
Anyway, the food. Greek food is Greek food around the world, but we let the waiter lead us to an appetizer featuring 8 little nibbles of things - hummus, roasted peppers, pickled mushrooms, tzadziki, with a basket of little pita breads. An excellent starter, which we enjoyed with the recommended €35 bottle of Greek wine.
For mains, souvlaki for some and lamb chops for others, both were absolutely excellent. The tomato/eggplant on the side was nice and spicy, I ended up chasing most of it around the plate to soak it up with bits of pita.
For dessert, we had the requisite baklava. Again excellent. And I tried something completely different, "Féta mé rigani". A Greek take on the classic cheese plate, this was two large pieces of feta cheese with a small bit of salad leaves tossed in olive oil and herbs.
Excellent mean, excellent service, very delicious. I'd just recommend making sure you arrive *after* they open.
