Retsina Reviews

10 out of 10 stars

Visited this restaurant for the first time in July 08. This is the best greek I have been to in London, even topping the ubiquitous Lemonia. We ordered the meze at £18.50 per person, comprising both hot and cold starters, a fish course and a meat course. Starters included traditional hummus, tzatziki, tarama and grilled halloumi, but the real highlight were the delicious greek sausages. Following this were sardines, enormous prawns and calamari rings served with wedges of lemon, all perfectly cooked, though to our taste the calamari could have been crispier. Finally the meat, comprising lamb and chicken, was falling apart tender, smoky, and faulted only by the fact that we were already too full to do it justice. Partnering this we had the house red which was an acceptable accompaniment. For more adventurous types, the wine list is extensive. This was followed by greek coffee and complimentary brandy, a nice touch. Throughout the meal the service was friendly but unobtrusive, unrushed, and generally made us feel pampered and totally welcome. Bill came to a shade over £100 for four including drinks. There is little that could be done to top the experience we had dining at Retsina and would heartily recommend it to anyone looking for fabulous greek food with great service at reasonable prices.
